Why pages for individual dates?
I saw that you are creating links for the publication dates fro individual comics, and was trying to figure out a way that that would be beneficial. I understand in something more general, like Wikipedia, that it might be interesting for something like comparing birthdays of all the people who have an article about them, or what events happened on the same day, but what benefit will it have for Legion Wiki? Mind you, I'm all for collecting data for statistics or overview, but I'm just having difficulty envisioning the usefulness of this. (List of all issues published throught the years on March 3rd?) Sorry if I'm being dense - perhaps you have some plan in mind. Care to enlighten? I will be happy to start adding links to the publication dates I add. --Gopher 17:15, 14 September 2006 (PDT)
- It's nothing to do with actual links, it's something completely different enabled through "linking" the dates :).
