I noticed you had some issues with the Day field, so I figure I'll explain it all for you, so you know how it works (it's pretty complicated).

So, FutureDOW and PastDOW are very elaborate templates that use a given day, month, and year to tell you which day of the week that date is.

For example, I was born on Sunday, August 17th, 1986. If I use PastDOW with that date, I get... . So, that works.

And if I use FutureDOW on an upcoming date... let's say... September 18th 2014, we get... .

Then we've got FPDOW that determines which of the two templates to use based on which year is given.

So, how do those relate to the Day field? Very tangentially.

Basically, the Day field does NOT add to the category for the day you enter into the field. It adds to the category for the nearest Wednesday to the day you entered.

So, if I were to insert say... August 28th, 2014 into the field, it would end up in the category for August 27th instead.

Since almost every comic for the last 35 years or so has come out on Wednesday, this shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, some don't (like last year around New Years). In any case, the Category that it gets put into is a Week Category, not a Day Category. It is meant to represent the week of whatever the nearest Wednesday is. So, anything that comes out that week, regardless of what day it came out, will be put into that category.

I've toyed with the idea of having a note added that will represent the actual release date, but in most cases, the week category and the actual date of release will match.
