Snakedance happened after Kinda. That's important, so really that should be in the lead. There's a real sense from Forum:Timeline sections on pages that if the timeline information is actually important, it should be in the lead, mentioned in the plot section in such a way that links to the connected story, or brought up in one of the sections that immediately follow the plot information.

But the vast majority of Doctor Who stories have no obvious connection to other stories, and temporal placement would be highly speculative, arbitrary, or, as they do over at the otherwise excellent Doctor Who Reference Guide, based upon the clothing or hairstyle that someone is wearing.
