In cases where only the day of the week is input, for example, 'Monday', without the day and month, the set_correct_day_from_settings and set_correct_month_from_settings functions can produce an incorrect date.

I added a 4th option for the PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH and PREFER_MONTH_OF_YEAR settings - no_correction.

It is intended for use in cases where day and month correction is not required.

Use example:

from dateparser import parse
from datetime import datetime

print(
    parse(
        "Mon 01:11",
        settings={"PREFER_DATES_FROM": "past", "RELATIVE_BASE": datetime(2025, 4, 3)},
    )
)
# Expected '2025-03-31 01:11:00'. Got '2025-12-31 01:11:00'
print(
    parse(
        "Mon 01:11",
        settings={
            "PREFER_DATES_FROM": "past",
            "PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH": "no_correction",
            "PREFER_MONTH_OF_YEAR": "no_correction",
            "RELATIVE_BASE": datetime(2025, 4, 3),
        },
    )
)
# '2025-03-31 01:11:00'

days = ["monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday", "sunday"]

for day in days:

    print(
        f"""'{day}' - wrong with corretion {
    parse(
        day,
        settings={"PREFER_DATES_FROM": "past", "RELATIVE_BASE": datetime(2025, 4, 1)},
    )
} - w/o correction {
    parse(
        day,
        settings={
            "PREFER_DATES_FROM": "past",
            "PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH": "no_correction",
            "PREFER_MONTH_OF_YEAR": "no_correction",
            "RELATIVE_BASE": datetime(2025, 4, 1),
        },
    )}"""
    )
