@Majavah @Zabe, does the uploaded patch resolve the underlying issue, or just push it a year down the road? Per @AntiCompositeNumber's comments at T271968, we have Template:Not-PD-US-expired-min-year and Template:PD-US-expired-max-year, which are made for this exact purpose and should be being used instead.

In the patch we only bump the year. The discussion about if/how this should be automated should take place in T271968.
