18 October 2009: Major upgrade to theWilly DeVille discography: Add singles and EP, structure in tables with chart peak positions and references, and add infobox.
Support. Forreaders Wikipedia looks amateurish with the current inconsistency on date formats across—and often even within—articles. Especially the "raw" ISO dates ("2008-05-12") that I observe for the last few months in references using thecitation templates (for example atPearl_Jam_discography#References, that is even afeatured list!). In my eyes, date autoformatting is the only way out of this limbo. For IP readers I am convinced that a technical solution can be found that displays "January 14, 2006" for IP's in North America and "14 January 2006" for IP's elsewhere. Foreditors, the system has to be simple to use and easy to figure out for newbies by looking at existing examples. My preference would be a simple template system based on theISO standard, for example {{date:2006-01-14}} for above date, {{date:2006-01}} for January 2006, or simply {{date:2006}} for 2006.Intervals could be {{date:2006-01-14/2006-01-22}} for 14–22 January 2006. Etc. if this system can work for others (and it can, otherwise it wouldn't be ISO), it can also work for us! –IbLeo (talk) 05:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Month-day linking: I support Option #2 (commemorative links only)
Support. Options 1 and 3 are overlinking. Option 4 is the road to inconsistency and edit wars. This is a good compromise. –IbLeo (talk) 05:22, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Year linking: I support Option #1 (link only relevant years)
Weak support. I would prefer not linking years at all, just like we never link weekdays (I hope). "Relevant years" seems POV-loaded to me and could lead to edit wars. But this is the least worst option of the 4. –IbLeo (talk) 05:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
