Help:Use specific dates
Use specific dates wherever you can on the Timescape Wiki. The wiki is a collection of Timescape information, including certain events that occurred at a specific time in Timescape history. However, there is no "current date" in the Timescape on this wiki. For each director and player, it depends on the date of their particular campaign. If the wiki fixed a specific date as the "current date", the constant advancement of the Timescape would mean that many articles would have to be updated regularly as the timeline continues.
Instead of assuming a current date, the wiki should provide absolute, clear dates so that the reader can interpret them. Avoid statements like "in the past few months" or "as of late" because these assume a specific date is being used as a reference point. Instead, use statements like "in the months up to Heroes 200" or "as of Heroes 200". Sometimes a date is not known, so in some cases it is unavoidable to write "in the past", but be as specific as possible.
