There's a 2005 in British television, but it's the only 21st century one of its kind right now (there's a few 20th ones including 1976 in British television). Should 'in British television' be added? Billy H 02:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
The country list seems somewhat arbitrary and open to bias. (Luxembourg? For real?) I propose we change it to a general category, like the births/deaths. What do others think? I'll try and do it myself soon if no-one objects. Grand master ka 09:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I think that it is note-worthy what items will enter the public domain in a given year. It would be fairly helpful for research and reference. What exactly do ohers think? I believe that the page should be titled, List of works entering the public domain in "this year". ( Tigerghost ( talk) 20:19, 21 January 2009 (UTC))
"2009 in Sri Lanka" should be replaced with "{ {PAGENAME} } in Sri Lanka" (without the spaces). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.250.89.149 ( talk) 12:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
call it association football then everybody's happy, in fact that's the name of the thingy it links to so it makes sense init —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alan McBrazil Burger ( talk • contribs) 15:25, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Is it time to add 20yy in fiction to the template? ((Also noted in WT:YEARS.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:45, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
I originally posted this on the Help Desk, but have not gotten any replies ( WP:Help_desk/Archives/2015 July 24#Use of Template:C21 year in topic for future years). Anyway:
User:Googgoollman7777 has added Template:C21 year in topic to a fair number of pages set in the future. For example, 2020, 2042, 2065. This template is used to reasonable effect for past years (for example, 2013), but for the distant future dates, pretty much every link in the resulting nav/infobox is red. Note that 2020 actually has a few active links, on the order of 20 active links, and 100+ redlinks, but 2042 or 2065 have no active links. And of the active links on 2020, many are circular references to that same page (all the month links, for example). I'm pretty sure there's no purpose being served by big, bulky, nav/infoboxes with few if any active links.
Anyway, I'm here since this is an issue affecting multiple pages, and
Template talk:C21 year in topic is a pretty sleepy page.
Is there some guideline on appropriate usage here? I'm tempted to remove all uses beyond the next year or two.
An alternative I've been considering is changing this template so that only active links are displayed. Something like Template:Exists could be used, but it doesn't address all the issues (what if an entire section in the nav/infobox is empty?). Rwessel ( talk) 03:34, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
Terrorist acts should clearly be included as a topic in this template. But, should it be under"Other" or "Politics"? There is also an issue with changes of name and format from year to year. Earlier years are List of terrorist incidents in 2010, while List of terrorist incidents, 2016 is a parent list for individual incidents by month articles. One thing at a time...

hi. I am using this template on a categiory page. how is this template used? I already figured out that i can idnicate the year by writing it as a parameter, i.e. {{C21 year in topic|2019}} . if I want to suppress the second info box, i.e. the info box labeled "2019 in various calendars," is there a parameter or some method to do so???
when you reply, please ping me, i.e. by writing {{Reply to|sm8900}} in your reply. Thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 17:44, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Lebanon has its own page for 2019 in Lebanon and many other years, and should be added to country list. Joseph Ruoc ( talk) 03:18, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary to have the year in handball link, as I can find only one of these articles that exists, 2012 in handball. Before I do it I just want to make sure nobody thinks it's necessary. — Naddruf ( talk ~ contribs) 20:22, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
In the Science and technology area, please add "Climate change" in a manner that would link to the first in a new series of articles including 2020 in climate change. Thanks! — RCraig09 ( talk) 21:47, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
I have noticed while many calendars have the date written in their own script (alongside English), the Bengali calendar does not. I would also like to add the Bengali script to the Bengali calendar in "2021 in various calendars" section. However, I am not being able to. I am a Bengali, so I can say the year would be: ১৪২৮ , in the Bengali script. If someone can, please add it.

I would like to add the links to the 20yy in nation articles for the countries of Monaco, Vatican City, San Marino, and Liechtenstein.
I have noticed on the list of countries that while other smaller countries like Andorra, Luxembourg, and Antarctica (not even a country) are included on the template, other fully recognized countries like Monaco, Vatican City, San Marino, and Liechtenstein are not? I find this especially surprising for the countries of Monaco, San Marino, and Liechtenstein, seeing that they are member states of the United Nations. Even Vatican City is a UN permanent observer state, and they are only that to stay neutral in world affairs, not because they are not recognized. I would be happy to create and keep up with some of these countries articles, but it would be difficult for them to be seen if they are not included on the template. I am asking for permission to add these countries to the template because I believe they deserve to be there. Thanks! -- Johnson524 ( talk) 02:46, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

The country links on this template take up a huge amount of space, and many appear red on most articles. I'd like to reduce the massive block of links by replacing the list with a category link. Johnson524, I'd like to restore my revision from your no consensus revert so that the template is cleaner and doesn't extend well into the bodies of articles.

Along with the 2023 in various calendars template, I really think this template takes up way too much space in each article about a calendar year. Why not be able to select a "show" button under e.g. "By place" and only then will all the different countries be displayed. Similar to how the Donald Trump template works. See Template:Donald Trump series Is it intentional that this is not currently the case?-- Marginataen ( talk) 16:16, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
PLEASE, undo those changes. They've (for example) removed links "Year in country" pages. GoodDay ( talk) 02:02, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

There is a consensus for removing this clock from the navigation template per WP:NAVIMAGES. See this previous edit, this is merely decorative. 49.150.12.134 ( talk) 07:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Year in various calendars disappeared from all years from 2001 onwards, while still existing from all years before 2001. I've taken the liberty to add it again in this template. HolaQuetzalcoatl ( talk) 15:27, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
reduce the massive block of linksthat
take up a huge amount of space. A reasonable concern, as the template at the time extended into I believe February in the 2023 article, which is huge amount of space for one template to take up. It was also brought up at this time that
the long list of calendars is the real culprit here, but I don't know how else that could be presented without losing information: and no solution was thought of to solve this across multiple Template and WikiProject talk pages. Along with the fact the template was so long that mobile users would have to scroll for a while past a list of calendar variations that, while useful, is not helpful to the vast majority of viewers, I decided to WP:BOLDLY but regretfully remove the calendar variations to get the template down to a manageable, reader friendly size.
