Topic: [APPROVED] Tag implication: 1660 -> 17th_century

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Do we really need specific year tags that far back? At some point tagging century is enough.

I didn't even know E6 had tags this time-specific.

I don't see the harm in creating implications for the years on a case-by-case basis.

If we know the specific year something was created, I don't see a problem with tagging it. There's already 9 years that imply the 17th century tag, so there is some precedent already.

Aliasing it to 17th century instead just makes our data have less accuracy. Not a fan of that. Anything much older than a few centuries isn't going to have an exact date so it's not like we'll have to worry about creating 40,000 tag implications dating back to the first known cave paintings.
