While the overall organization of Centiare is flat, certain sections do conform to traditional hierarchical structuring. Dates are one such area. Centiare takes advantage of [[MediaWiki]]'s built-in subpage cross-referencing feature to facilitate hierarchical organization.  Subpages are generated easily by adding a forward-slash ( / ) at the end of the page address, followed by the name of the subpage.

Years and months have their own Main page articles -- for example [[2005]] ''and'' [[December]].  

For '''''annual''''' archival purposes, months are treated as subpages within the respective years in which they occur, and days are treated as subpages within the respective years/months in which they occur - for example, [[2005/July/20|July 20, 2005]].

For '''''non-repeating''''' dating purposes, months are treated as subpages within the respective years in which they occur, and days are treated as subpages within the respective years/months in which they occur -- for example, [[2005/July/20|July 20, 2005]].

* References to year-month-day are useful for specific items such as a historical events, newspaper article publishing dates, etc.

For '''''non-annual''''' archival purposes, days are treated as subpages within the respective months in which they occur - for example, [[December/20|December 20]].

For '''''repeating''''' dating purposes, days are treated as subpages within the respective months in which they occur -- for example, [[December/20|December 20]].
