An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect
Anno reparatae salutis humanae
and has thus listed it
for discussion
. This discussion will occur at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 November 27#Anno reparatae salutis humanae
until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

In the History section, it mentions that "
The Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus
" however, later on it says "
The last year of the old table, Diocletian Anno Martyrium 247, was immediately followed by the first year of his table, Anno Domini 532.
" This seems confusing -- was he labeling the year now known as A.D. 525 as A.D. 532? Or was the first mention of the A.D. system only published after 532? If the latter, in what sense did Dionysius Exiguus devise it in 525? The section flips back and forth between 525 and 532, so it's really hard to figure out what the dates actually are.

- Papal functionaries were aware that the last year in the Easter table in use in the early 500s had a last year that we would now call 531. They asked Dionysius Exiguus to prepare a new table that would continue where the table in use left off. That is, the new table should have 532 as its first year. Dionysius finished his task in 525.
