Template talk:Category described in year

Minimum year
at Module:Category described in year the documentation says that if  isn't specified it defaults to 1758. So why does Category:Crustaceans described in 1758 show earlier years? Peter coxhead (talk) 09:03, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * , I've been meaning to phase that out (lower priority though). The only reason it was there was for the old nav template Category in year, but that was replaced with Navseasoncats, which doesn't use/need a yearmin or equivalent, but that can be added as a feature, if desired. Personally, I like the consistent size of the nav box as you approach both extremes, i.e. Category:Crustaceans described in 1758 & Category:Crustaceans described in 2018, since it maintains the pattern of what year will show up under your mouse while navigating, and keeps the same size box.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:05, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The counter argument is that there cannot be any years before 1753/1758 depending on the group, but the presence of these years, even greyed out, suggests that there could be. I understand the point about keeping the constant size of the nav box, but this could be kept even if the early years are fixed not to display. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:00, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * , I've mocked up a few examples here. Let me know which one you think is most appropriate, or if anything better comes to mind.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  01:00, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I like the "whitespace + dots" approach. I've suggested there another way of achieving the effect, using . This ensures that the width is constant, regardless of the user's font settings, which using   may not. It may also be easier to implement: just surround any year less than the mininum by  .

Multiline table in list lint error
This template generates a Multiline table in list lint error for each year that the Wikipedia commons category exists, viz: 1753, 1831, 1877, 1891. Please fix. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:09, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Extra insect groups
I have tried to add extra categories for example Category:Ants described in 1758 and it seems to add it to both Category:Animals described in 1758 and Category:Insects described in 1758. Is there any way to only place it in the insect category, like with the beetles, butterflies and moths? Elspooky (talk) 11:58, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
