WikiProject Years is a project dedicated to improving all year-related articles on Wikipedia. We cover all year, decade, century, and millennia articles and their subarticles. Our scope is incredibly large, so we rely a lot on automated bots to do more tedious tasks.
Scope[edit]
This WikiProject's first aim was primarily to formalize the unofficial standard used for creating year pages. A standard was created and then transferred to Wikipedia:Timeline standards. The project still conceivably has responsibility for maintaining/improving that standard. The project currently oversees all year articles, (e.g. 1345, 2008), decade articles, century articles, and millennia articles, as well as their sub-articles (e.g. 2008 in sports).

Year in Topic boxes[edit]
Each century has a different year in topic box, depending on how much information is available in Wikipedia. The following have been created so far:
- {{C21YearInTopic}}
- {{C20YearInTopic}}
- {{C19YearInTopic}}
- {{C18YearInTopic}}
- {{C17YearInTopic}}
- {{C16YearInTopic}}
- {{C15YearInTopic}}
- {{C14YearInTopic}}
- {{C13YearInTopic}}
- {{C12YearInTopic}}
- {{C11YearInTopic}}
- {{M1YearInTopic}}
The last one is for the whole 1st millennium (1-1000 AD). However it has not yet been decided how many there should be. See talk page and survey for discussions.
