- It's the square brackets, stupid! (Sapphic's attempt to explain things. This is the one that contained the statistical "debate" about the number of articles that contained linked dates)

Coding

- Date test (Ohconfucius' test page for Werdna's patch)
- UCB's first attempt at a solution
- UCB's second attempt at a solution
- UCB's next attempt at a solution (This is the discussion that proved that Bug 4582 was not RESOLVED at the time it was claimed in RfC2 that a "patch" was available)
- UCB's next attempt at a solution (This is the one that led to the "Specification for 'son of autoformatting'" page)
