"AD" after date
[edit]A user at 2600:1014:b02d:6396:8c04:ea7f:8123:804a added the caption
- Please put “AD” before the year - not after.
which is a fair point. The Wikipedia article Anno Domini states
- English follows Latin usage by placing the "AD" abbreviation before the year number, though it is also found after the year.[1]
For visual consistency with "BC", especially on the time axis, I recommend sticking with the current format. Does anyone have a second opinion? Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 02:38, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
