The old system
was laudable, but really only worked for a small
minority of readers, usually active editors themselves. For everyone
else, it just got confusing...
Thanks, all, for your input. I do almost all of my editing in biographies
and wondered from the beginning why it was necessary. Now, my next question
is, when going in to edit an existing Article that has the dates linked,
should they be routinely de-linked?
Insamuch as they should routinely have been linked before, yes. :-)
(In other words: you can if you want to, but if you leave them as is
someone will come along and do it in time. There's certainly no
compulsion.)
