| - Can we make the year pages both category and content pages? That way I could do something like [[Category:3 ABY|Battle of Hoth]] and have it appear on the page, but we can still add content that would be crazy to categorize (like Luke losing his hand to Vader). Thoughts? --SparqMan 02:40, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
* And after all that work I did? Idk, I still like what we have right now. I'll think about it. Btw, you need to put a colon before the category to make the link work or else it puts this page in the category. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:37, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
* Wow, I've been looking for that trick for a while now. Thanks, Riffy. JSarek 03:21, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
* Okay, Riff is going to think about it. What does everyone else think? It would be easier in the long run than manually entering all of those items --SparqMan 13:47, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
* If it's done as a category page, then we can't break it down chronologically—it would all get sorted alphabetically. I like the idea of being able to sort events chronologically within the year. – Aidje talk 14:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
* We could put sorted events in the top section following by the alpha TOC. For characters, we could use the system of Wikipedia with {{lived|b=19 BBY|d=7 ABY|key= Shmoe, Joe}}
* So does that mean we're getting a Joe Shmoe article too? -- Riffsyphon1024 04:38, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
* I kinda like how it is now. However, I think it could be better, but I don't think using categories is the way to do it. WhiteBoy 05:13, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
* I have created consecutive pages for all years from 7 BBY to 35 ABY, with gaps in between years farther back. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

* Why do some years in the thousands use commas, and some not? Examples 4,004 BBY vs 5005 BBY? - SparqMan
* I and Riff came to a silent agreement that years in the thousands use commas, with non-comma years as redirects. --Imperialles 18:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
* Only speaking for myself, but I think the commas make it look tidier and more professional. --Fade 20:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
