[WikiEN-l] Date linking a done deal!?!

[Jay Litwyn]

I mean that some publications hav a feature about what happened on this day 
in 1986, etc. If the date on an article is a link to some page that is 
robotic, then maybe it could read something like a concordance -- one 
sentence from every article containing that date, click on a button to get 
article titles. I only followed a date link once, and some interesting 
things were there, so I can't say I know much about what can be done with 
date links. So, I guess my question is...does every editor want their dates 
automatically linked? Maybe it should be a user preferences option. Will you 
ever follow date links? Hide date links?

Sorry, I'm not seeing what this has to do with date links or the price
of tea in the PRC.
