Hi!

The current note (with links) - see english/News/2020/index.wml for an
example - makes complete sense when the archive is for the current
year. However, when the same page is no longer the current year, it
feels awkward. I have attached a patch for 2020 (with pseudo code)
which I think works much better. Could we try to do something like
that when the 2021 page is created?

Regards,
Hans

PS! For Norwegian (for 2015 to 2020) I have used the (not current
year) note that I suggest in the patch.
