Dates?

It seem to me that dates are being unwikify. Maybe we should keep the dates? We can use these date as what happen in history. You know....improtant date in webcomic history. We could have event, the death of a webcomic, or the launch of new webcomic. I am not sure what the date in history name will be. Maybe it be "Webcomic event in History"? Any idea?--Kiba 11:32, 10 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Like links to certain dates articles and record the event that happen.

In Wikipedia, we wikify all the dates and the dates often listed events such as the birth of a person, death of a person, what happen at that time.

However, like several months later, I unwikify all the dates anyway :P

You mean

make all dates on comixpedia.org automatically generate a link to an entry? Wouldn't that be a good idea?

There is a calendar on Comixpedia.com now which is intended to track conventions, milestones, meetings, etc. Maybe we should use that for dates and have comixpedia link to that? The calendar can be found on the front page or a larger version here:

Well, we basically manually wikify every dates and create articles on them. What you calling for is the mass flood of wikiedits wikifying every single date for days on end.

It be cool for comixpedia.org to link to the comixpedia.com calendar.

Personally, I would prefer to link to the calendar as well. No sense duplicating things, right?

However, a general article on YEARS wouldn't be a bad idea.

It look like we agree on this idea. I wonder how long it will take to to implement this feature....

well, this coding could require a fair bit of coding, couldn't it? because they'd be external links to the encylcopedia.
