Paste in everything between (not including) "below" and "above"; change the decade and century categories as required; save. Page is now a complete stub but needs a few links checked.
Then see 1967 for an idea of the sorts of events that may be worth recording. Check "What links here" and search the wiki in case some notable events are there without links.
We can (fairly quickly) add to individual created pages tricky things such as the day of the week for 1 January, found at the start of the corresponding Wikipedia year pages. We could add the month calendars too, but a link to the Wikipedia versions may be good enough.
Let's not forget the desirability of having separate pages for the two-name years, 1582/83-1750/51.

A much shorter version of that model can form the basis of year categories. See Genealogy:Year category contents/model.
