User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-31010985-20190102002350/@comment-1432718-20190104234558 Look, guys, I understand that everyone would like a clear-cut timeline of stories in the DWU, but the problem is, we are never going to get it. Writers (not just DWU) often prefer not to get specific with years to prevent "dating" their stories.

We don't allow speculation on dates in the main namespace, and we don't allow any kind of timelines in the main namespace. We have provided a place for people to play with the timeline at Theory:Timey-wimey detector.

We only provide specific dates/years for stories if we have in-universe evidence.

But we are not going to be able to set some kind of policy regarding what "present day" means. Please see User:SOTO's first post above for how best to deal with this issue.
