Category talk:Years by country

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Category for every year?

I started creating categories such as Category:1823 by country, but I got second thoughts. It would clutter this category, and the benefit is dubious. I'm stopping for now and I wouldn't object if the categories got unlinked from this category, deleted or grouped differently (e.g. to "1820-1840 by country"). If deleted, then of course the existing articles should be redirected to the (main) year category. Common Man 01:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Is there a way to do a straw poll about this? We should decide, and either create the missing categories or delete these ones. Ziggurat 00:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I think we should create the rest, look at something like Category:1996 , it is already pretty crowded and having another "1996 in XXX" for 100+ countries is going to completely crowd out everything else - SimonLyall 07:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
