Forum:Infobox Time variable

On Infobox Person, it says this about "main time period active", the variable.

"For people who've had a more substantial involvement in the DWU, give the year range for their primary involvement, either in terms of actual years or seasons. So, for someone like Peter Davison, the correct answer here is 1981-1984, not 1981-1984, 1993, 2007."

I've barely even listened to the Big Finish audios, but I can tell that Davison, Colin, McCoy and McGann have regular work on them, most notably McGann, whose work in the TV series amounts to a single story in 1996. Because of that, I'm not sure if the wording is right, or if it is fine, it needs a better explanation. If they've consistently continued the role from 1999-2012 (or 2001-2012 for McGann) and beyond, wouldn't that be noteworthy for the variable?
 * Yeah, that was a bit unclear. Rewritten.  Hopefully the rewrite is clearer.  19:52: Fri 23 Mar 2012

Also, does this mean the box should be left blank for guest stars with multiple one-off roles years apart from each other (i.e. Michael Sheard, Jean Marsh)? -- Tybort (talk page) 15:42, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does mean that. It's an alternative to to prevent a whopping great list appearing in the infobox.  I would use  for your Michael Wishers and Philip Madocs, but  for regular or recurring characters.  19:52: Fri 23 Mar 2012
