Article too long to navigate

This article will only continue to grow longer and longer. By splitting the article per decade of issued commemoratives, it'll be easier navigate. An example is List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft.

QuantoAltoPossoVolare (talk) 19:37, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed splitting date ranges are incorrect. Should be 2004-2010, 2011-2020, 2021-2030 81.90.125.126 (talk) 19:51, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I see it's been fixed already.

QuantoAltoPossoVolare (talk) 15:30, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article should indeed be split as it is too long in its current form. However, instead of 2021-2030 I suggest it should be 2021-present as most lists grouped by year are. Golem08 (talk) 18:40, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. That example is flawed in by the fact that that list is getting updated not from the end, but in the middle as well as more information comes up.

Here, most people are using the embedded "Contents" list to find info as there aren't any new coins from the past because we know all of them. The description could get updated on the post 2016 ones though. ScruffyFox (talk) 21:23, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest doing it like on the Italian or French version - they left a list of years on the general page, and made a separate page for each year. It is quite convenient, and besides, sorting lends itself to numismatics. PR140en3 (talk) 06:17, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Points for improvement

Hi all,

A couple of points for consideration:

This article does seem rather lengthy and there are only going to be many more coins in the future: Would there be objections to split each year into a separate article?
Some image links need to be corrected since they're not pointing at the Official Journal but blogposts. Furthermore, are we linking the HTML and PDF version?
How about letting go of the few coin images still remaining?
