- It would be quite useful to store only the relevant data for each day/month/year/decade/century page (e.g. 1985). That way we could implement more advanced queries, e.g. "list all important events in the years 1348-1352" and minimize the amount of stored data (saying that John Doe was born on DD/MM/YY once rather than adding his name to both the Days list, the Months list and the Years list).
Regarding the Concepts
WikiProject, I would like to understand better what qualifies as a concept and what doesn't. For instance, is "electron" a concept? How about "beauty" or "religion"? What happens if there are wpc articles about concepts which are also treated elsewhere in the Wikipedia? --

I think by far the best way to figure out how to "organize all known concepts in a logical manner" is to write encyclopedia articles. Trying to say a priori how concepts are related, without exploring all the multivarious ways,
in detail (here, the devil is in the details), of how different topics are related, seems inefficient.
I also don't see what the point of trying to "organize all known concepts in a logical manner" for Wikipedia would be. How would we use the work? I don't think we'd use the work at all, to be frank.
The very best thing we all can be doing on Wikipedia is writing encyclopedia articles about stuff we know about. --Larry Sanger
