Template talk:D

Need
Do we really need this template? Because as far as I know we were supposed to use redirects, and the only problem was that a lot of them were missing. I made all of the missing redirects up to July when I noticed that, but still haven't done the rest. 19:03, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, it does seem a bit pointless - I mean,  actually takes up more room than  ... Yeah, this was a dumb idea, never mind. :P
 * Speaking of the redirects though, they seem to lead to pages intended for the Selected anniversaries template, which are just copiying from pages like this. (Apparently that was me again, and another dumb idea now I look at it...) Anyway, my point is, shouldn't we have the redirects point to (e.g.)  rather than  ?

 * Except the reason we were using the template was because the dates are formatted as  and while October 30 is technically shorter, it also goes to the wrong place and using the template means we won't need the redirects or having to add "October#30th|" to the link.

 * Whoops... Sorry, I've been completely stupid this whole time - I didn't realise the pages were transcluding templates. What's worse is I set up the whole system myself back in 2010... Completely forgot... Anyway, it makes a lot more sense now. THB   → Talk ← 19:41, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
