I apologise: I got the wrong end of the stick with date templates,
please disregard that point; though the issue of links still pertains.

I'm concerned that good-faith edits (hundreds of

relating to WikiLovesMonumnts in the UK, have i) used date templates
where they're not appropriate and ii) lost lots of existing wikilinks,
including disambiguation, which other editors are now being asked to
replace. Please see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:UK_Wikipedians%27_notice_board#…
for examples and discussion.
We may need a mass revert (after which the edits can be reinstated in
better shape); or a bot to do cleanup.
