Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Category hierarchy anomalies

< Wikipedia:WikiProject Years

This page lists two kinds of anomalies in category hierarchies for country chronologies, as a result of which the standard category header templates are not used or do not create the required navigation links.

In the first case, the current workaround is either

  1. to subst: the templates and edit the results, or
  2. to create the page manually and only include the parent categories that exist.

In the second case, the current workaround is either

  1.  as (1.) above,
  2. use standard templates and add category redirects for navigation between old and new names, or
  3. use specifically tailored versions of the templates for the periods around the change of name, e.g. those in Category:20th-century establishments templates by country.

Chronology categories that do not have the usual full parenting edit

These are small or sparsely-populated hierarchies that do not require all the usual parents, e.g. decade or "by year" categories.

Regions that are not countries:

Note
Some category hierarchies have categories for both old and new names for the year/decade in which the name changed.
