Proposed deletion[[edit source]]
As the lead notes, there's already: :category:timeline which does the same thing, and more completely. Or, if you don't like that, how about category:centuries. This "article" adds nothing in terms of explanatory text, and it's not even written in an in-universe style. There's really no need for this redundancy whatsoever.

Centuries[[edit source]]
Can someone add the 6th and 7th century into this? --MrThermomanPreacher talk to me 22:08, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Century list[[edit source]]
The century list template has a lot of doubled up centuries on it, many of which are out of order. This is due to the fact the "centuries" category has subcategories for each century as well as the actual century pages themselves. The end result makes the list look like a bit of a dog's breakfast, so is there any way we can fix it? The two options I can see are to take the redundant "centuries" category out of the centuries pages (for example: 100th century is in both the Centuries category and the 100th century category), or to just scrap the template altogether and make it a list manually. But I'm not exactly known for my html skills so there may be other options. Does anyone have any ideas on what would be the best course of action? LauraBatham ☎ 02:54, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
