Template talk:Film year category

message: I added a line to automatically tag categories of the form "YYYY films" as a subcategory of "YYYY in film".  For example, if I did this right, :Category:2003 films should now show up as a subcategory of :Category:2003 in film (which should include not only films released in 2003, but also articles about 2003 film awards and news events in 2003 directly related to films).
It's possible I made a syntax error setting this up, though, so if the new parent category tag isn't propogating correctly please feel free to correct it or let me know. Thanks. Dugwiki 20:36, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that didn't work -- it had added this template to the category instead of the articles that include the template.  You might want to put that in <includeonly> instead. Cleduc 21:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Cled, includeonly did the trick (I think). :Category:2003 films is now appearing as a subcategory of :Category:2003 in film for example. (at least I think it is.  It's showing up properly on Category:2003 films, but isn't showing up yet on Category:2003 in films.  Might just be propogating the change in the system, though.) Dugwiki 22:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  That looks good... except that :Category:YYYY in film doesn't appear to exist for most years.  We try to avoid creating templatized redlinks.  Are you systematically creating those categories? Cleduc 22:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I noticed the same thing as well.  Filling out most of the redlinked categories is the next logical step. I'll be taking a look at that next week I think. Dugwiki 22:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding parent of "YYYY in film" 

message: Should  be added to the template, so that there's an explanation that film-by-year categories should be non-diffusing, per the instructions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Categorization#General categorization? --Paul_012 (talk) 13:22, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Non-diffusing category 

message: See Public_domain_film#United_States - "In the United States, motion pictures are copyrighted for 95 years. All motion pictures made and exhibited before 1926 are indisputably in the public domain in the United States. This date will move forward one year, every year, meaning that films released in 1926 will enter the public domain on New Year's Day 2022". In other words, according to that page, films released in 1926 are not yet in the public domain. However, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1926_films says "These films are considered public domain in the United States and possibly elsewhere." The reason why it says this seems to be that this template includes "#ifexpr:  <=  - 95 | These films are considered public domain in the United States and possibly elsewhere" and that 1926 = 2021 minus 95. Should the template read "#ifexpr:  <  - 95 | These films are considered public domain in the United States and possibly elsewhere"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alekksandr (talk • contribs) 22:30, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Public domain

message: Template is calling films released in 1926 public domain, it should currently only allow films prior to 1926 to be called public domain generically. Therefore, Title year <= CURRENTYEAR - 95 should be Title year < CURRENTYEAR - 95. (Oinkers42) (talk) 17:21, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template-protected edit request on 18 November 2021 

message: Should :Category:2021 films be categorized in :Category:Upcoming films? Once the year starts or films for that year start being released, it no longer applies for all films in the category. Maybe  should be changed from ">=" to ">". Thoughts? StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:32, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
