Hello everyone and Happy Holidays!

Is there a way every time I input a date in this format: 12th January, 2016 in an infobox to convert itself to 16.12.01? I know that I need to use and to replace with my date, in this instance  but there's a problem with it, namely the comma. If the comma is present, then the 'y' part of the parser function will take the current year, forcing me to write the date as 12th January 2016. Is there a way for the parser to recognise the comma? I've read the article on this parser function on mediawiki, but couldn't find any information about it or I might not have understood it properly.
