Forum:"Setting" in story infoboxes and UNIT dating

I noticed that the infobox for The Seeds of Doom (TV story) lists its main setting as "Antarctic base, the 1970s; Chase Mansion, the 1970s". Isn't that a bit problematic, coming three stories after "I'm from 1980"? Of course, this is a huge and unresolvable problem. But should we really be "taking sides" in the dispute by saying that these stories take place in the 1970s? At the moment, nearly all UNIT stories list their setting as "the 1970s", except for The Android Invasion, which gives "circa 1980". Would we do better to remove dates from all UNIT stories, or to say "the 1970s or early 1980s", with a link to UNIT dating controversy? —Josiah Rowe talk to me 02:52, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * My suggestion is to remove the dates from the infobox, and put a reference and link to the UNIT dating controversy in the "Story Notes". Shambala108 talk to me 05:31, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Unless the date is actually stated in the text (be it TV, novel, audio whatever really) I don't think the date should be stated, this should go for all stories, not just the UNIT ones. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:50, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree. If a stories mention the date, we put it in the info, otherwise, we just make an assumption. This should go for categories as well. We should only include the date in the infobox/category. The only backlash with this is the category 'stories with unknown or disputed date' may get very large.
