Siglos/Centuries[]

Does anyone knows which is the policy regarding Centuries? For example, in wikipedia Spanish Siglo XX (20th Century) is used. Which should be the format here, both, in Spanish and in English. Thanks--Tasc 17:56, 22 November 2006 (UTC).

See Category:20th century. Maybe we can use category:Siglo XX as well, with links from one to the other. Robin Patterson 19:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you Robin. I'll try it. --Tasc 16:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Finally I think I found a solution.

The solution it is not the redirection from [[Siglo X]] to [[Category:10th Century]], since it would redirect to a category instead of a date. The best way, I think, is to redirect the Centuries and Siglos to its respective pages in wikipedia:en and wikipedia:es, which have a lot of information regarding dates. That is (taken as example the 10th Century):

  • [[wikipedia:es:Siglo X|Siglo X]]

and

  • [[wikipedia:en:10th Century|10th Century]]

It is a little cumbersome, but it works well.

Regards and Happy New year 2007 to everyone. --Tasc 16:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

No, please don't redirect to Wikipedia unless essential - readers will never find our English-language page (and may even never find their way back here!).
Just simplify what you were talking about, above, by cutting out the category part, so:
#REDIRECT [[20th century]]
However, you may be better still to leave "Siglo X" and its companions as Spanish-language pages (on which you can write full Spanish articles about what was important in Spanish-language genealogy in those years) but give them links at the top to English and other languages.
I think the Wikia people are working on ways of having interwikis here just as Wikipedia does; maybe that will be even better if it works.
I should copy some of this discussion to a specific page; maybe project:Languages.

Hi Robin, what about years. Probably we should not redirect them either. Should I indicate just the plain years, without any internal or external redirection? Which should be the way? --Tasc 01:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
