Title:
calendar link

Area:
calendar

Summary:
I would like it better if the calendar link always took you to the current year, or the latest real-time year with posts (i.e. year = or < current year), rather than the most future year that may have a lonely sticky post rather than a progression of posts.

Description:
I usually go to the calendar to browse further backwards in the recent year than the recent entries go or to browse past subjects by month to look for a posts in a journal, i.e. to see a progression of posts. To land on a page with a calendar for 2017 or 2020 with a single entry in a single month is inconvenient, because I need to click to get to an actual year that has happened, and you see the sticky posts in the recent entries view anyway.

Therefore I'd like it if the default for the calendar was to always take me to the current year in the calendar first, as if there were no future dated posts, and only show the future posts if I explicitly click on the future year in the calendar. If there are no posts in the current year, I'd like to get to the most recent past year with entries, e.g. if someone has last posted in 2008, and has a sticky post for 2020, I'd like to be taken to the 2008 calendar.
