My idea is to incorporate these into the relevant scripts, so that we can potentially insert these templates to the top of any given article when work is done to unify the formats. This would indicate, in the body of the article, that work has been done to convert all dates (exc ISO) to a given format. Down the line, a bot can be programmed to maintain all those articles which have been so tagged. The tags can remain invisible, as at present, or they can be made to insert markers of some description like the star at the top of each ]. What do you think?

| Since solitary years may be linked on rare occasions, what provision exists to prevent Lightbot from visiting the same article over and over again, and unlinking solitary years, even if the editors of the article have determined that a solitary year link is appropriate? --] (]) 14:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I've yet to hear a good argument for keeping a solitary year-link. One way of protecting the odd one (I think) is to pipe it. It's very important that housecleaning on WP involve treatment from time to time of an article. Editors are not perfect and deserve automated assistance. ] ] 15:35, 8 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Lightmouse, is it still the case that the bot passes over date links that include a nondate term, so that something like <nowiki>]</nowiki> can be placed in an article's "see also" section, or in a "see also" line appended to a paragraph? which also alerts human editors that the link was deliberate, valued by someone, etc. ] (]) 17:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == User:Lightmouse/monobook.js/script.js == | |||
| That is not currently true. But it could be made to be true. ] (]) 17:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::(e.c.)I don't think piping would do as Lightbot's currently configured, Tony, as I know I've seen it remove piped links to 'year-in-X' articles — that may only have been in the context of broken autoformatting, though. If piping would work, that would be a great solution, as would commenting as was just suggested. I'm slowly getting sold on the idea that removing these links is useful bot work, but I still worry about the collateral damage. I don't want to sound like a fiend for date linking, but I do think it's important that we find a way to ensure that, where a bot — any bot — removes a solitary year-link as part of a mass clean-up and an editor (in all reasoning and good judgment) does find that rare case where restoring the link provides valuable context, the bot doesn't overrule that editor's judgment and later remove the link again. Otherwise, there's no point in our style manual saying that solitary years should ''rarely'' be linked — we might as well say ''never, ever, ever under any circumstances''. I know you haven't heard a good argument yet, but I don't think even you would say that it's ''completely'' impossible for a year link to ''ever'' be useful, would you? ] (]) 17:59, 8 January 2009 (UTC) | |||

| :::A ] rejected the notion that "year links should never be made". About 35 editors supported the idea that years should never be linked, while about 64 expressed some degree of support for year linking (even if only very rarely). If Lightbot repeatedly unlink years and offers no recourse to protect linked years, it is in violation of consensus and measures will have to be taken to bring it into compliance with the consensus. --] (]) 19:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
