I haven't been worrying too much about keeping the date format consistent other than to make sure that the date links to the correct page.

In order for the current "On this day" pages to work, you need to use January 8th for normally single digit days, and either January 18th or January 18th for two digit days. A leading zero is required for single digit dates. The number before the pipe (the "|" symbol) is the link and needs to be formatted as the full month name followed by the 2 digit day, and the text after it can be whatever is convenient for the page. The links January 18th and January 18th are basically interchangeable, so it doesn't really matter which one is used.
