→A new suggestion about the Saints of the Day
: The main page doesn't include [[April 19]], but rather [[Template:April 19]]. Editing [[April 19]] to include [[Template:April 6]] only adjusts [[April 19]] and would not show up on the main page. If, however, you were to edit [[Template:April 19]] to include [[Template:April 6]] (and do the same for all calendar days), the output would be a recursive, endless loop including the entire calendar and repeating infinitely.
: Having the main page include [[April 19]](that is, as a new template, not as [[April 19]]), however, would mean having to create a whole series of nested templates, involving changing every single link to a date in the whole wiki (many thousands of links). [[April 19]] is not a template and cannot be included as one.
: [[April 19]] is not a template and cannot be included as one. So, to keep the date links simple throughout the wiki (i.e., linking simply to the date and not to a template), [[April 19]] would need to include a [[Template:April 19]], which would in turn include nested templates for [[Template:April 19 (new)]] and [[Template:April 19 (old)]]. : But that then introduces confusion for folks who click on [[April 19]] and see two sets of feasts, one labeled as "Old" and one as "New." This would be a problem, for instance, in the [[Annunciation]] article. You click on [[March 25]] and see that the "New" feasts include Annunciation, but the "Old" do not. Does that mean that Old Calendarists aren't celebrating the Annunciation on March 25? In fact, they ''are'' celebrating it on March 25, but by another calendar. I can think of no way of solving that problem. : I really think we need to find some sort of extension for the wiki so that it can "know" what day it was 13 days ago. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.
