This is not about a "Foo" that existed only between 1753 and 1892 that needs to be distinguished from other Foos that existed during other periods of time, but rather about the period of the history of Foo from 1753 to 1892. The time spans look like disambiguation terms, but that's not what they areย โ€“ instead, they are a fundamental part of the identification of the topic. This is not about a topic called "History of Foo", it is a 237: 181: 149: 860:. However, NCUE is a more general titling guideline that is not about the titles of works specifically.

However, there are occasional exceptions; for instance, if the title of a work uses a caret, and that caret is used in the majority of independent sources discussing the work (see 622:, was rejected. There is a substantial number of articles that use this convention, but I am not aware of anywhere that documents it as an accepted article naming convention on Knowledge. Should this convention be described somewhere in 568: 833:
