Template talk:C20YearInTopic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Video gaming? This topic was not really relevant in first 3/4 of centuary, and leeds to silly articles like 1933 in video gaming, is there an easy way to make this switchable? --Salix alba (talk) 14:49, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- No, there is no easy way to make it switchable. I suggest removing topics unless they have, or at least could have articles for almost every year of the century. Alternatively, in some cases, the articles could be created as redirects to an appropriate article. Warofdreams talk 03:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- meta:ParserFunctions now makes this possible. I've inserted a conditional inclusion which will display the video gaming category only for the years 1952, 1958, 1962, and 1970 onwards. I've tested this for most years, but it may break for the few other non year pages which include it. --Salix alba (talk) 21:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] metal?
i just added the "[year] in metal" links in the 21st century template. and it worked fine. but the metal pages run all the way back to 1971 and then one page for the 60's. is long enough back to put it on the template? i ask because its kind of hard to right a page about a genre that derived forma genre that didn't even exist yet. ...Patrick (talk, contributions) 05:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- If you look at the formatting for [year] in home video links, something very similar would work well here. It only displays on years from 1970 onwards - [year] in metal could only display on years from 1971 onwards. Warofdreams talk 01:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
