User:G-Man/works in progress
The present policy regarding date linking at MOSNUM is in my opinion too vague as to where date linking might be acceptable, and the issue of how it could be interpreted has recently caused a lot of friction. Having looked at the feedback at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)/Date Linking RFC. I have come up with the following proposals to clarify the wording of the existing policy WP:MOSNUM. I hope this will represent an acceptable compromise position which both sides of the dispute will be able to accept. G-Man ?
That the following text in MOSNUM:
- Linking: Dates (years, months, day and month, full dates) should not be linked, unless there is a reason to do so.
be changed to:
- Linking: Dates (years, months, day and month, full dates) should only be linked, if they are relevant to the article's subject. Some situations where it could be acceptable to link dates, could include:
- Situations where a date link may help improve context of the article.
- Beginning and termination dates such as dates of birth or infoboxes.
- Articles that are about chronological items (21 December, January, 1940s, 2006, Monday) and holidays that fall on the same date (Christmas Day link to 25 December and (Armistice Day).
- Repetitive or excessive linking of dates should be avoided (See WP:Overlink).
