Still experimenting. By creating a category for each month or year, then adding it to this category, those categories then get listed here. They're still in alphabetical order, not date order, but it makes it easier to see the oldest ones. --[[User:Graham Phillips 110|Graham Phillips 110]] ([[User talk:Graham Phillips 110|talk]]) 18:07, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

:Well done on getting it as far as you have done!  Suggestion, I think if we include the magic word HIDDENCAT (with leading and training double underscore) in the various category pages for potentially dated items, they won't show up to users browsing normally, but can be accessed via Special Pages, Hidden Categories when we need to review them.--[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 18:40, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Revision as of 18:40, 29 December 2015

I've exported https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:As_of from Wikipedia and imported it to here and finally got it more or less working. After several practice attempts by putting "As of" dates in my profile, I eventually realised it only works on articles, not profiles.
You'll need to go to Preferences > Appearance > Show hidden categories, to see the link at the bottom of each page.
It's still not quite right; it doesn't automatically create a category for each date, so "Articles containing potentially dated statements from 2015" for example and "Articles with invalid date parameter in template" both show in red until manually created, then the dated one turns blue and the invalid one disappears.
Categories are listed here alphabetically, not by date. I Exported/Imported the Navbox template, but it doesn't work.--Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 17:25, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
