The years in these pages are still linked to year articles as was the fashion a few years ago. It is my intention to remove them. Has anyone any objections to me doing this? -- PBS (talk) 01:34, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

I doubt anyone cares one way or the other. @Magnus Manske: will have linked them by default in the original pages (now deleted) from which those pages were created. Charles Matthews (talk) 13:09, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

The links have now been removed. This has two advantages. (1) it makes cut and past for leads, or as a stub article easier and in the long run if we were to move this stuff to Wikisource it will make recreating the index as a copy of the original easier. -- PBS (talk) 13:31, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
