Here are the formatting patterns used for matching auto-generated pages such as years between multiple wikies. Please correct any errors or add missing information. Feel free to suggest other pages that should be matched-up.

General

 * Numbers - regular numerical values. Some wikies have these spelled out (One, Two, Three), others have a standardized format - 1 (num), 2 (num), ...

Month Related

 * Month Names - all wikies should have a month name page. Also, these names are used in the other lists (below)
 * Days of the Month - What happened on this day in history
 * Month of the Year - Timeline approach - each page describes the events around us, one month at a time.

Years

 * Years - individual year pages - most sites have AD years as a regular number (1976). This creates a conflict with the numerical value pages - Numbers. Please note any exceptions.
 * Decades - some sites treat decade as beginning at 0 (1980s = 1980..1989), while others use more mathematically correct 1 (1980s = 1981..1990). Please make sure you mark which one is used for your site.
 * Centuries
 * Millenniums - Is this kind of pages worth automating? English has 1st/2nd/3rd, some sites spell out the number. There are only 3 AD pages per site, and various number of BC pages... Or am I wrong? (Yurik)

Other Pages
Any other pages (not categories) that should be auto-matched.
 * Current Event Pages - frequently these are just redirects to the current month of the year article, but sometimes they are not, and that confuses the bot.
 * Years in Film
 * Years in Television
 * List of state leaders per year

Categories
''These are some additional auto-matched pages that were suggested. Feel free to suggest new categories or page types, such as Year's births category, hurricanes of the year, etc.''
 * Music Albums per Year
 * Films per Year
 * Sports by year
 * Elections by year
 * Births per Year
 * Deaths per Year
