Formatting the date/year pages. The general outline was borrowed from the BattleTech wiki and Wikipedia.
- Each article must include the Template:Date with the correct year setting.
- The article should not have a reference section, and no Template: Sources.
- Each entry could be categorized under one of three headings: Events, Births, or Deaths. This follows the Wikipedia style.
- Each entry should be short & focused, requiring only one line of information.
- Each entry should have only one wiki link, leading to an article that will provide the details of the event.
- The article to which the entry is linked must reference the actual event.
- All entries should be preceded by the date, if known.
- All dated entries will be listed in chronological order.
- Undated entries will follow dated entries within that category, unless the sequence of events suggests the undated event occurred between two dated events.
