Imperial year article

Imperial year should be turned into a redirect to this article. I don't think it offers a "more user-friendly" description and it is unsourced. --Digganob 12:29, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Definitely. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 15:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Year Fraction Calculation

If i'm not mistaken, the given calculation is incorrect. You'd have to use the previous date, multiplay that with 24 and then add the current hour, else you get 24 hours too much. Example: 2nd of January, 12:00; 2 x 24 + 12 = 60 BUT actually only 36 hours have passed. 1 x 24 + 12 = 36

Also this would prevent getting a number greater than 999 after multiplying with 0,11407955 Example: 31st of December, 23:00; 365 x 24 + 23 = 8783, 8783 x 0,11407955 = 1001. 364 x 24 + 23 = 8759, 8759 x 0,11407955 = 999

Year 0 Problem

I just had a discussion about the inconsistent/ambiguous use of the year 000.Mx. Is it the first or the last year of Mx? This wiki seems to use the 000-999 scale (where 000 is the first year), while the Fandom wiki instead uses the 001-000 scale (where 000 is the last year). Canon sources seem to vary in that question as well: 3rd Edition rulebook goes 000-999, while 5th Edition goes 001-000. Not sure what is currently standard. --Sinthorion (talk) 10:07, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

The most recent source I can find is Jaghatai Khan: Warhawk of Chogoris (Novel) - it gives 000.M31 as the year of the Ullanor Crusade, which would put it at the start of the millennium. KazilDarkeye (talk) 21:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
