896064 - Only show month and year when hovering over a user's contribution time

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

We recently decided to only show the month and year for when a user starting contributing to Mozilla. Let's not show the specific day and let's also remove the comma (ex: 'May 01, 2009' becomes 'May 2009')

Steps to reproduce on stage:
1. Login to the site
2. Edit your profile and choose a month and year for when you got involved with Mozilla.
3. View your profile
4. Hover over the contribution time below the profile photo

Expected results: Shows month and year (ex: May 2006)

Actual results: Shows month, day and year (ex: May 01, 2006)

Is month a required field for Mozillians to report? I've spoken to several members both young and new to the community who honestly do not know. They find that field awkward.

Yes, month should be a required field *if* the user provides a year. The reasoning is this gives us a better picture of when Mozillians (in aggregate) get involved, plus it gives us the ability to do fun things later on (like a 'Congrats on contributing for 3 years!' message) The error handling is covered in bug 896006.

This works for me in dev/stage.
