Repost of solution as [requested by erlend\_sh](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-post-year/37187/6):

Use `Admin` \> `Customize` \> `Text Content` …

search for `'YY` which will list:  
`js.dates.tiny.date_year`  
`MMM 'YY`

`js.dates.medium.date_year`  
`MMM D, 'YY`

`js.dates.long_date_with_year`  
`MMM D, 'YY LT`

`js.dates.long_date_with_year_without_time`  
`MMM D, 'YY`

`js.dates.long_date_with_year_with_linebreak`  
`MMM D, 'YY <br/>LT`

Edit and adjust those replacing `'YY` with `YYYY` to get the full year.
