Crazy idea that might just work
In the last four years, the update for PD-US-expired was done "on time" once:


 * 14 March 2021
 * 14 February 2022
 * 1 January 2023 👍
 * and now there is an edit request on 18 March 2024

what if the template Show by date was used to produce a "forever" edit request? It could be something like this:

to

and on this talk page please change the year in the template Show by date in the section "Forever edit request" to. }}

Second edit request 2024-03-18
Would someone please undo MSGJ's last change? This message does not support wikitext/templates, and the license dropdown on Special:Upload is not displaying correctly. Thanks. ⟲ Three Sixty! Talk? Work. 16:10, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
