Category talk:Film by year

Naming convention

I see that all of the YYYY in film articles are named the same. I'm wondering why the convention is to use YYYY in film rather than something like YYYY (in film) or YYYY (films). If the standard parenthetic remark is used to disambiguate each year from others, then references can be made like this: [[YYYY (in film)|]] to render the particular year. So, for example, an editor may write:

X is a [[1939 (in film)|]] film ...

and it would be rendered as:

X is a 1939 film ...

With the current convention, one has to write:

X is a [[1939 in film|1939]] film ...

to render the same thing. It's not a big deal, but I just hate to see Wiki features not being utilized...

Maybe we should renamed all these articles so that references to film years could be made using the "pipe trick"? --Serge 03:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Going to work on cleaning up and templating the subcategories of "YYYY in film"

I recently adjusted the "YYYY films" categories to show up as subcategories of "YYYY in film". However I notice that the "YYYY in film" categories aren't made in the same format as other by-year categories, so I'm going to work next week on standardizing the format of this category to be a little more similar to "YYYY films", "YYYY books", etc. Dugwiki 22:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
