Template talk:C21YearInTopic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There's a 2005 in British television, but it's the only 21st century one of its kind right now (there's a few 20th ones including 1976 in British television). Should 'in British television' be added? BillyH 02:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm adding Business and Economics to this, as part of the Business and Economics WikiProject. --Acooley 14:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm removing it until some articles are created. This shouldn't be a list of every possible topic, just the ones we currently have. If you're keen to start this off, simply create a timeline and stubs for at least each year from 2000 to 2006. Warofdreams talk 03:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "By place" topics

The country list seems somewhat arbitrary and open to bias. (Luxembourg? For real?) I propose we change it to a general category, like the births/deaths. What do others think? I'll try and do it myself soon if no-one objects. Grandmasterka 09:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It's a list of countries for which we have articles by year. Someone has created articles on Luxembourg by year, so it is included; excluded countries do not currently have articles by year. I'm not sure exactly what you're proposing, but I can't imagine how a category would do a better job. Warofdreams talk 04:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Basically, rather than linking to 2007 in Luxembourg and all the others, link to Category:2007 by country. Grandmasterka 05:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Agree. Much more flexible than a template full of red links. • Anakin ^{(contribs • complaints)} 22:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I want to add a new link devoted to items that will enter the public domain for a given year

I think that it is note-worthy what items will enter the public domain in a given year. It would be fairly helpful for research and reference. What exactly do ohers think? I believe that the page should be titled, List of works entering the public domain in "this year". (Tigerghost (talk) 20:19, 21 January 2009 (UTC))

I'm not sure whether or not that would make for a series of articles which can be referenced and demonstrate notability, but the best test is to try writing one or more. If you create a series of articles, then a link can be added to this template. Warofdreams talk 21:34, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

The thing is, I don't know what objects will be entering the public domain in various countries in 1999, 2001, or 2009 per se. haha. I just thought that it would be good reference knowledge. I don't think I have the time or the patience to take on a task like that, most of my time is devoted to cleaning up the 1990s decade page by creating subpages for it (which needs a lot of work). (Tigerghost (talk) 14:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC))

Ah, I see. We tend to remove links added to this template where few or no articles exist, as there is a long list of potentially interesting topics by year, so I wouldn't add the link. Who knows, your comment might prompt someone else to investigate such a list. Warofdreams talk 16:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sri Lanka bug

"2009 in Sri Lanka" should be replaced with "{ {PAGENAME} } in Sri Lanka" (without the spaces). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.250.89.149 (talk) 12:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

This seems to have been done. --BozMo talk 20:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
