#'''Support''' matches my support in the daymonth; anything different for years would be confusing. --[[User:Ged UK|<font color="green">Ged</font>]][[User talk:Ged UK|<font color="orange">'''''UK'''''</font> ]] 20:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support''': Option 2 is too vague, and will lead to load of overlinking and fights about overlinking. Option 3 makes no sense at all (for the same reason that we don't link the first occurrence of everyday words like [[woman]] and [[food]] except in unusual contexts). Option 4 is pointless, as MOS exists for a reason, and inevitable date-related disputes will automatically re-engender MOS debate and eventual guidance on the matter. — <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span></b> [[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]] <b>‹(-¿-)›</b> 03:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. I can't think of many occasions where years need to be linked, but the option should be available if doing so will improve a reader's understanding of an article.
