What's so special?

All the categories YYYY by country (e.g. 2008 by country) have subcategories for many specific countries like 2008 in Italy for instance. Now, the article 2008 in Italy is included in the category 2008 in Italy and does not have to be in the category 2008 by country. So, what makes Ireland so special since it alone has to be both in the category 2008 in Ireland and its superior category 2008 by country when no other country is?

I think this template ought to be changed, so that the article 2008 in Ireland is included only in the category 2008 in Ireland and not in its superior categories. Secondly, if the article is included in the category 2008 in Ireland it should not also be included in the category 2000s in Ireland, since that is also a superior category.

If this is not acceptable, please tell me why Ireland should stand out from the rest. /Ludde23 ^{Talk Contrib} 23:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This template is doing it correctly: see the Topic article rule.

If the templates of other countries are not following this model, they are not following the guidelines correctly. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The categories should not be added by the template as it leads to overpopulated year by country categories for example Category:2017 by country has over 200 subcategories and then up to 200 articles (currently over 140). Moreover these types of categories (ordinary content categories) should not be added by a template for the reasons set out at WP:TEMPLATECAT. Tim! (talk) 06:19, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These categories are not eponymous categories. Category:2017 by country should be treated akin to Category:History by country, which contains Category:History of Ireland but not History of Ireland. Tim! (talk) 07:09, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Replace line:

| image = [[Image:Blank Ireland.svg|right|80px]]

with the two lines:

| image = Blank Ireland.svg
| image_size = 80px

Articles that use Template:Year in Ireland, such as 1603 in Ireland, appear in Category:Pages using deprecated image syntax because the image syntax is deprecated, as described on the category page and at Module talk:InfoboxImage#Pages using deprecated image syntax. This change request will maintain the current rendered appearance of such articles while making them conform to the desired image syntax. Worldbruce (talk) 02:02, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please remove the decade categorization (probably remove [[Category:{{DECADE|{{{1|{{#time:Y}}}}}}} in Ireland|{{PAGENAME}}]]) since the articles are now duplicated in the year and decade categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:13, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}} template. Looking at Template:Year in Norway that seems to be standard behaviour. Cabayi (talk) 14:22, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please change calls to template redirect {{CENTURY}} to directly invoke {{century}}, to avoid an unnecessary redirect for this much used template. Colonies Chris (talk) 10:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC) Colonies Chris (talk) 10:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
