Forum:Making pages for BC years
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Pretty simple forum here: it has been long-standing policy/precedent (not exactly sure where the policy is, I tried checking and couldn't find it) that BC years don't get their own pages, seemingly* since template:Timeline doesn't work well with them. I... find this utterly absurd, especially considering pages like 89/Feather/50 - it'd be nice if the template worked with it, but we shouldn't refuse to properly cover BC years just because a template doesn't work with it, especially since the template isn't exactly essential to the page's functioning.
I think these pages should follow the naming scheme of "[number]BC", so for example "1800BC" or "9BC".
* I think I heard this somewhere, but I can't remember where and can't verify that it's true - it is one of the only reasons I can think of for this, though. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 22:21, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

I do agree, I think we should have BC pages. It's a time travel franchise, it inevitably visits times older than the last 2024 years sometimes, we need to be able to cover that properly. One tiny change though - pages should be (e.g.) "9 BC" (with a space) not "9BC" as you had it - with a space is how BC years are written generally. Warrior2852 ☎ 22:47, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
