- diegoperini 8y agoMaybe it was 2019 in some parts of the world. :P
- dkersten 8y agoI don't see the value of tagging the year onto articles, unless the article is old and the content is time sensitive or not relevant anymore (ie, the year tag helps to warn you that the information is out of date and interesting mainly in a historical context). While you could argue that this information is time sensitive, its still super recent. I personally do not like when articles are tagged with the year when the above is not true, because it gives the impression that the article is outdated, which makes some people pass over them sometimes, making me miss content I would have otherwise read and also reducing the amount of interesting discussion if people aren't reading the article. Why do I often pass over old articles? Because my time is limited, so I pick and choose what I will read and unless I'm interested in the history of a thing (I often, but not always, am), I'll skip articles that seem historical or out of date for ones that are current. I'm not a fan of always tagging articles that weren't written in the current year, if the information is just as relevant now as when it was posted.
- detaro 8y agoThe year also helps with "I've probably already read that one" over "ohh, a new article about $thing!"
