Line 1:

This set of pages serves as a queue of selected anniversaries which populate the section of the [[Main Page]] each day. It is based on Wikipedia's "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Selected_anniversaries select anniversary]" section.

From top to bottom, the list's years should be in chronological order.
