Template talk:Book year

Bug
See Category:987 books. Was this template written on the assumption that no books existed before AD 1000? :-) --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:24, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Haha, R'n'B. It was all on the assumption that editors would continue the convention of avoiding by-year categs before AD 1000. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 12:20, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Fiction by year of setting
I propose to remove links to Fiction set in YYYY subcategories from this template, and also from Novel year and Poem year. It seems to me that linking them blurs the line between two unrelated characteristics: real-world year of publication (e.g. YYYY books, YYYY novels, YYYY poems) and fictional year of setting. Any thoughts? Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 14:40, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * @BrownHairedGirl: Checking if you have any objections... If not, I will go ahead and make the change. Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 16:14, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * @Black Falcon, I think that's a very good idea. That parenting was in these templates before I started tweaking them, and I pondered it at the time, but decided to just concentrate on making them parameterless. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 16:21, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done - I appreciate your quick response and have made the changes: 1, 2, and 3. Cheers, -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:21, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
