User talk:Yurik/Formats/Centuries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yurik, the correct pattern for nl is the same xde and xste as the af. one. As far as I know we have circumvented the problem on nl. by just using 1e 2e etc. which is strictly speaking incorrect orthography for which I am largely to blame (but it is soooo much easier...). If you do encode your bot for the correct usage you might as well run it on nl too. I am no longer active there so you might have to drop a note in the kroeg if you do af:Gebruiker:Jcwf

If i understood correctly, NL: should be a simple "%de eeuw" for the centuries. Is this also true for years/decades? Thanks! --Yurik 07:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Correct. In fact, it is a correct spelling (unlike what Jcwf claims). Both 1e and 1ste, 2e and 2de are correct. For reasons of simplicity, we use 1e and 2e. – gpvos (talk) 16:48, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
