Why add year category?
editWhy does this template add the year category? It leads to lots of confusing double listings like in Category:90 where 90 AD and 90 go to the same article. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- It seems a bad idea, the template is painfully complicated for a simple, somewhat vague task. Rich Farmbrough, 19:51, 13 January 2011 (UTC).
