Template talk:Different calendars

Hey, I've got a suggestion regarding the "Hindu calendar" entry. There's more than one Hindu calendar, and specifically there are multiple eras (years where people start counting). Three eras are used most widely: Vikram Samvat, the Shaka Era, and the Kali Yuga (it's the latter that Wikipedias currently using, at least on the 2006 page). VS seems easily the most common of the three; the Shaka Era is also important because it's the one the Indian government uses. 2006 corresponds to Shaka year 1928-29 and 2061-62 Vikram Samvat. Could we add lines for these? Quartier Latin1968 17:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Something like this maybe:

This Year in different Calendars
Gregorian calendar	{{{gregorian}}}
Ab urbe condita	{{{auc}}}
Chinese calendar	{{{chinese}}}
Hebrew calendar	{{{hebrew}}}
Hindu calendars - Vikram Samvat - Shaka Samvat - Kali Yuga	{{{vikram}}} {{{shaka}}} {{{hindu}}}
Iranian calendar	{{{iranian}}}
Islamic calendar	{{{islamic}}}
Japanese calendar	{{{japanese}}}
Runic calendar	{{{runic}}}

This looks good. Philip Stevens 06:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
