Can we add a parameter to ignore the millennium category in this template? There's a pretty extensive CFD discussion about places that shouldn't need a red-linked or blue-linked useless millennium category and substituting and removing manually is just hideous. I mean, I could just do it all manually or without tables but I'd like to ask if this template and Template:DisestcatCountryCentury could allow for it to be skipped. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 21:25, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
This template currently contain a parameter (|decades=yes
) that allows the display of individual years to be suppressed and displays individual decades instead. There are cases, however, where there is not enough content to justify any decade splits, such as
Category:11th-century establishments in Sri Lanka. In these cases, what is the preferred approach:
The same issue applies to {{ DisestcatCountryCentury}}, and I've left a note at that template's talk page pointing to this thread. Pinging User:Fayenatic london and User:Marcocapelle as active editors in this area. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 19:09, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

These categories have individually tailored versions of this template, which would need manual updating. The tailored versions include only the years for which the country was known by that name.

Cases using tailored templates, i.e. non-standard Template pages that are (potentially) used on multiple category pages:
@ Fayenatic london: would it be possible (and easy) to add two optional parameters, "startyear" and "endyear", to this template? E.g. for the Belgium cat above, one would just need to add "Startyear=1830", and the end result would be the same as what the complicated tailored template achieves?

Category:20th-century establishments in Thailand no longer has an individually tailored template, but uses {{ EstcatCountryCentury/resolve}} which resolves category redirects on all decade and year links. However, this requires setting up redirect pages using the new name for all dates before the name change. – Fayenatic London 21:22, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
