That would be a silly [[kludge]] which would turn off all autoformatted links, including the ones which do comply with the new [[WP:LINK#Chronological items]] guidelines, and wouldn't turn off any non-autoformatted link, including the seventeen occurrence of [[2007]] (without a day link) in the same section. --<span style="font-family: monospace; font-weight: 600; color: #00F; background-color: #FFF;">[[User:A. di M.|A. di M.]]</span> (formerly Army1987)<small> — ''[[Special:Contributions/A. di M.|Deeds]], not [[User talk:A. di M.|words]]''.</small> 17:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know that I'd call it a kludge so much as a stop-gap solution so auto formatting can be salvaged without keeping all the links intact. And from my perspective it's a reasonable compromise considering I want to keep all date links (the effect here is that I lose all the date links, but they can be manually added where appropriate). —[[User:Locke Cole|Locke Cole]] • [[User talk:Locke Cole|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/Locke Cole|c]] 19:21, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
