Dates with a precision of 10,000 years or more render with the same precision as year
Open, LowPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?: It renders with the same precision as "year"

What should have happened instead?: It should render differently since I cannot tell if the precision is "1 year", "10,000 years" or something else.

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Event Timeline

This only seems to happen if the number of years is within (-5000, 5000). So anywhere from -4999 (4999 BC) to 4999 (4999 AD) triggers it for 10,000 years. For 100,000 years, add a zero to each of the bounds earlier, so (-50000,50000), and so on.
