Why don't add << and >> links to help navigation backward and forward in decades? --Emijrp 14:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know which template that is, but it doesn't seem to be this one. The likely reason it doesn't skip by 10 years is that the template parameter isn't set up that way. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure? Using parserFunctions is possible. {{#expr:{{{1}}}-1}}}9 for << link, and {{#expr:{{{1}}}+1}}}0 for >>. --Emijrp 18:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I misunderstood your request. I thought you were saying there were already arrows, but you are asking for the arrows to be added. This seems like an uncontroversial change. Write and test the code, and then put up a new request, and someone will copy your code to the template. — Carl (CBM · talk) 18:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
