First param to always take year[edit]
The current version where the first parameter can be a year or a link is very confusing, and inconsistent for all it matters. I propose to change it to take year in the first param and link, if set, in the second param. The same applies to {{CE}}

- Yeah that makes sense. Since the year is a required parameter, it should be 1. Required parameters should always come before optional parameters. Gonnym (talk) 10:11, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Primefac Would you be able to make the changes and lend your bot? Thanks! — DaxServer (talk · contribs) 10:42, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- No, because there are only 118 uses, but I can do a run with AWB manually to update them.
- Just to double-check/verify, for any instance where there exists a second positional parameter, the first and second parameters should be switched? Additionally, is there any opposition to making the (new) second parameter
|link=
for clarity? It should help clean up the code in the template a bit as well. Primefac (talk) 11:45, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
