Scope of template

@Serendipodous: has re-added the articles that are not millennia and I think should not be here. Those are Timeline of the far future, Timeline of prehistory and Timeline of natural history. The scope of those articles is in the hundreds of thousands of years in the case of prehistory and in the hundreds of millions of years in the other two. Thus I think they should not be part of this template. Vpab15 (talk) 18:46, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dozens of "millennium" articles, such as fourth millennium, fifth millennium, 30th millennium BC etc, redirect to those articles, so they are part of the "millennia" category. Serendi^podous 19:38, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is not true, those articles are not part of Category:Millennia, so they should not be part of the template either. Vpab15 (talk) 16:58, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is true. Perhaps they should be included in Category:Millennia. Serendi^podous 21:38, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, they shouldn't because they are not millennia. They are longer time scales. Yes, you could say they are made of millennia, but by the same logic, they should also be added to the categories for centuries, decades and years. Vpab15 (talk) 21:54, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Century, decade and year titles don't redirect to those articles; millennia do. Serendi^podous 21:57, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
