[edit] Reason for deleting wikidate overlinkage
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.--Tenebrae 02:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic.
