[edit] Hebrew years

Why are you adding many pages without actual content? --Oscarthecat 09:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

And how many of these pages do you intend to add? --Oscarthecat 09:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
These are stubs - to be added latter with events etc. The range of years will be like in Hebrew Wikipedia:

Thanks for the info. Shame there's no opportunity to link to the Hebrew Wikipedia, but I guess you want a english language version. --Oscarthecat 09:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Each page has an Interwiki link to Hebrew עברית

There are fifty or more years that somehow use the Template:Current. The template was intended when originally designed for occasions in which hundreds of editors might be editing and viewing a page at the same time. I cannot figure out how it is that the "current" template is summoned into use when I examine the a particular Hebrew year in question, or when I examine the templates that it uses. I'd like to know the trick. And the use of the "current" template should be discontinued. See the first entry at Template talk:Current. At the time of my writing this, the articles in question show up here on this listing. -- Yellowdesk 00:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

It is a conditional use of this template, actualy only one page 5767 (Hebrew year) (the current Hebrew year) really uses Template:Current. All other pages of Hebrew years don't really use this template. Try to edit any page, for example: editing 5766 (Hebrew_year), and you'll find Template:Current in the list of templates ("Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page" - on the bottom of the editing page), but actually 5766 (Hebrew year) does not show anything of Template:Current. {\mathbb {\color{Blue}_{DMY} } } User page Talk 09:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template: Month Hebrew calendar

Greetings, I presume you're the creator of this template. Over at Wikiproject Disambiguation, the template is causing a little trouble. Some of your tool tips (in the months of Tishrei, Nisan, Sivan, and Elul) contain links to the disambiguation page Eve. They should instead link to Evening, according to the dab page. If you could fix that, you'll make a lot of us very happy. Thanks much! --Milton 01:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

If it's true that they should link to Evening, then everything is all right - I can make those changes, and I will now. My personal opinion, though, is that they would be better off delinked and returned to the text you were using before (e.g. "Eve of Yom Kippur"). You might be the only one around who knows how to do that. Please see the thread on this topic at WT:DPL#Eve for more details. Dekimasuよ! 03:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
OK, I agree, and more precisely the link should be to Evening#Biblical Definition of "Evening". {\mathbb {\color{Blue}_{DMY} } } User page Talk 12:38, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
