Is that Sort Number accessible by the creators/editors? I see two outside the number system already, and I'm about to create a third. -- [[User:Gousha|Gousha]] 19:57, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

The "Category:Eras" page talks about an attempt to place various eras and timelines into a coherent stream with a numeric reference on various other articles. However, none of those articles seem to have such numbers. Was this attempt abandoned? If not, I'd love to see an article that still has the numbering. If so, then the Category page should be rewritten to remove that system. -- Gousha 04:57, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

I think you've only skimmed the text, because that's a fairly fundamental misread of it. As a category page, the text is referring to the way the category is set up; not the way the articles within the category are written. The attempt hasn't, therefore, been abandoned. It's been finished. You'll note that the category isn't alphabetized for the most part; rather, it's organized by the numerical system described.  czechout 16:47, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
