== Topic timestamps ==
Hi Brian, I was just wondering if there was some way to 'timestamp' featured and good topics to stop quick de-list rot. For example, say ChrisTheDude was to immediately stop contributing to Wikipedia one day and his topic:[[Wikipedia:Featured topics/Billboard number-one country songs]], would eventually be delisted as nobody would FL the following year, it would be a huge shame to have the topic de listed as it is arguably the most impressive on the website. Could we possibly 'timestamp' the topic to be titled say: Billboard number-one country songs '''(1944–2023)''' or Billboard number-one country songs '''(20th century)'''; that way, if its no longer being updated, there is no loss and the work remains recognised. I'm asking this question because [[Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/EFL Championship play-offs/archive1|EFL Championship play-offs]], [[Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/EFL League One play-offs/archive1|EFL League One play-offs]] and [[Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/EFL League Two play-offs/archive1|EFL League Two play-offs]] are all nominated for de-listing because nobody has started the process of improving the 2023 versions, all of which are hugely impressive and would be an absolute injustice to have all the work go unrecognised just because nobody has updated the following year, or maybe the regular contributor has left Wikipedia. If there was someway to have these topics exist through some compromise like a 'timestamp' or some other approach, I think not only could the topic system recognise and maintain a lot of impressive work, but also make people more inclined to collate topics that have rot potential, because all their effort won't just eventually rot away like it might do after they leave Wikipedia.
I hope this makes sense, I'm not any good at explaining stuff. It's just an idea that's probably been brought up before, I just can't stand to see topics like these disappear and I hope there'd be someway to save many of them. Kind Regards.
