This is not a WP:RFC matter. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:02, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64: But I want |year= to be added. St3095 ^(?) 12:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So why not discuss in the normal way? RfC is not a method of first choice, it is a formal process of last resort, once all other methods have failed. Having discussed your desired enhancement and others have agreed that it should go ahead, the next step is a semi-protected edit request. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:47, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The template {{edit semi-protected}} should have been used here. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 14:33, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: @St3095: I'm closing this edit request for the following reasons:

The proposing user has over 3000 edits, so can make the change themself.
The proposed change is a breaking change to a template with several transclusions (483 transclusions; anything that changes the order of unnamed parameters is breaking). This could be resolved by adding the year as parameter 3.
~~The proposal does not specify what the new parameter will do.~~ Danski454 (talk) 00:03, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @St3095: again, in case that didn't work. Danski454 (talk) 00:07, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts I've added support using a named parameter (the proposed change wasn't very clear). Danski454 (talk) 00:26, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
