Presentation of Duration

[edit]

The presentation of character duration must remain consistent across Eastenders character pages.

The reverts to "since 'year'" are incorrect, grammatically inaccurate, visually ugly and not concise or consistent with how character durations are represented across all soap. This is not the first time I've had to make this correction. GuyFromEE (talk) 16:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As pointed out—several times, mind you, which have been ignored—per MOS:DATETOPRES/MOS:SINCE it states: Except on pages that are inherently time-sensitive and updated regularly (e.g. the "Current events" portal), terms such as now, today, currently, present, to date, so far, soon, upcoming, ongoing, and recently should usually be avoided in favor of phrases such as during the 2010s, since 2010, and in August 2020. Wording can usually be modified to remove the "now" perspective: not she is the current director but she became director on 1 January 2024; not 2010–present but beginning in 2010 or since 2010. As such, 2024 is the present-tense, plus, the edit also fails to adhere to MOS:NDASH. Manual of style is built to be ever-evolving and followed. There is no consensus at WP:SOAPS that overrides the MOS that stands. livelikemusic (TALK!) 17:10, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
