Naming format for current term

[edit]

In category series that use date ranges (e.g. "Fooian senators 2014–2019" as opposed to e.g. "Members of the 12th Fooian Senate"), the category for the current term should either be terminated with the expected end date "Fooian senators 2014–2019", or with "–present" e.g. "Fooian senators 2019–2024". (N.B. UK MPs.[1])

The format with a hanging dash "Fooian senators 2019–", formerly used in some cases, is not compliant with MOS:TOPRESENT. – Fayenatic London 09:07, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There was no consensus to use "present" rather than a future year at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_May_28#Categories_for_presently_serving_Indian_state_legislators. – Fayenatic London 07:46, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
