 ==Dates and Years==
 *For dates, always used Date Month and not Month Date, i.e. "4 March" and not "March 4".
-*Use <nowiki>[[Third Age 3019|T.A. 3019]]</nowiki> when linking to years. There are [[:Category:Year templates|templates]] that automate this: <nowiki>{{TA|3019}}</nowiki> gives {{TA|3019}}, <nowiki>{{TA|3019|n}}</nowiki> gives {{TA|3019|n}}.
+*Use [[:Category:Year templates|these templates]] to automatically generate dates in the required format. <nowiki>{{TA|3019}}</nowiki> gives {{TA|3019}}, <nowiki>{{TA|3019|n}}</nowiki> gives {{TA|3019|n}}.
 *For articles with only a few dates (or only a few differing from the stated standard reckoning for the article) it is easiest to just spell out the reckoning period in full; '[[Fourth Age 6]]'.
