Organization of number pages and number disambiguation pages
Dear Colleagues,
There is an ongoing discussion on the organization of number pages and number disambiguation pages.
Your comments would be much appreciated!! Please see and participate in:
The
Dallas Cowboys have a policy of not retiring numbers. However, the team has not issued #12 since the retirement of Hall of Famer
Roger Staubach.
The
Pittsburgh Steelers currently have a policy of not retiring numbers, having retired only two numbers (70 & 75) in their earlier history. However, the Steelers have not issued #12 since the retirement of Hall of Famer
Terry Bradshaw.
The
Cincinnati Royals, for
Hall of FamerMaurice Stokes, who suffered a career-ending head injury in 1958, the team's first season in Cincinnati. The franchise continues to honor the number in its current incarnation as the
Sacramento Kings.
I think all numbers <= 200 (including 0) should redirect the article of numbers, numbers > 200 should redirect the article of years. — Preceding

This is a very reasonable idea which has been discussed before.
0 has always been about the number but, until last year, positive numbers linked to years. For example, the article now at
AD 1 was called simply 1. Following discussion at
Talk:AD 1 (the early part is archived in
Talk:AD 1/Archive 1),
1 to
10 became integers and
11 to
100 became
disambiguation pages. There may still be scope for going further, as there is a good case for arguing that the year AD 101 is not the primary topic for the term
101.

11 to 100 are linked to disambiguation pages because the long discussion that I linked to above didn't reach a consensus to change them to numbers. Please feel free to suggest the change again. I could certainly support such a proposal.

I agree with your suggestion, but we are in a minority. A
2017 debate found no consensus for it. For reasons I don't quite understand, most editors feel that 11 usually means something other than the number after 10.
