Reason for deleting wikidate overlinkage

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

First, let me say how wonderful it is to see this long-overdue article on the historically important Vin Sullivan. Bravo to my fellow editors!

I wanted to explain the date delinkage. It's per Wikipedia style guidelines. This from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#Avoid_overlinking_dates

Avoid overlinking dates

If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so. Make only links relevant to the context for the reasons that it's usually undesirable to insert low-value chronological links.

Usage of links for date preferences

year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic.
month only. So April → April. Generally, do not link
century. So 20th century → 20th century. Generally, do not link
decade. So 1970s → 1970s. Generally, do not link (Including an apostrophe [1970's] is incorrect)
year and month. So April 1974 → April 1974 Generally, do not link
new year and month. So April 2000 → April 2000 Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic. Presently, articles only exist for combinations from the year 2000 to current
day of the week (with or without other date elements). So Tuesday → Tuesday. Generally, do not link.

Thanks, and I look forward to all of us fleshing out this important entry! --Tenebrae 14:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
