Description
Currently, when dates are entered in Publication and Created fields, they need to be in DD-MM-YYYY (ISO 8601). Neither a year only, a month and year, or range of years is allowed. Would be very useful (and more accurate) to provide this capability. We can still follow ISO 8601 standard, but perhaps not require that all the elements of it must be present.

Research direction
Start by locating the Publication and Created date fields and their current ISO 8601 validation. Check how those fields parse and display dates, then define the accepted year-only, month-and-year, and year-range forms. Done means each supported form is accepted while invalid dates remain rejected.
