No year pages

years.pages: true in statac.yaml asks for a page for each year, but no page has a date, so there is no year to publish a page for. If years.folder names a folder, only the pages in that folder count.

What you’ll see

warning  No year pages: no page has a date
  statac.yaml, line 2
   2 │ years.pages: true
     │              ^^^^
  Give a page a `date` to publish a page for its year.

Why Statac warns

A year’s page lists the posts dated in that year, and a page is a post only if it has a date. Statac builds the rest of the site as usual, but the setting you wrote publishes nothing, and nothing else would tell you.

How to fix it

Give the posts a date in their front matter. Each year a post is dated in then gets its page, at /2026/ for 2026 unless years.permalink says otherwise.

If years.folder names a folder, check that it is the folder the posts are in. A post filed in a folder inside it counts too.

If the site needs no year pages yet, take years.pages out of statac.yaml.

Example

In statac.yaml:

years.pages: true
years.folder: notes

with every dated post in content/blog/ and none in content/notes/. To list the posts in content/blog/ under their years, the setting is:

years.folder: blog

Its name

Name	no-year-pages
In the terminal	statac explain no-year-pages
To stop showing it	quiet: [no-year-pages] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
