So on [[User talk:Vapor|Vapor's talk page]] some questions were raised about what content is & should be included in this template. To start with some clarification, information contained within comes from [[UDWiki:Project Timeline]] (which contains actual nonfictional information) and [[User:Bob Moncrief/Timeline]] (which contains fictional information from the Wiki about pre-2005 events). Because of the nature of much of the fictional information, which mostly mentions years without specific dates, the vast majority of information in this template is post-2005 nonfiction (I believe ~10 total entries are pre-2005).

:That said, I would definitely like others to weigh in. Does fictional material have a place on the front page? If so, should it be cordoned off, or kept together with the rest (as now)? And if it should be clarified, how? Thanks! [[User:Bob Moncrief|Bob Moncrief]] 01:14, 29 June 2012 (BST)

Content Discussion

So on Vapor's talk page some questions were raised about what content is & should be included in this template. To start with some clarification, information contained within comes from UDWiki:Project Timeline (which contains actual nonfictional information) and User:Bob Moncrief/Timeline (which contains fictional information from the Wiki about pre-2005 events). Because of the nature of much of the fictional information, which mostly mentions years without specific dates, the vast majority of information in this template is post-2005 nonfiction (I believe ~10 total entries are pre-2005).

That said, I would definitely like others to weigh in. Does fictional material have a place on the front page? If so, should it be cordoned off, or kept together with the rest (as now)? And if it should be clarified, how? Thanks! Bob Moncrief 01:14, 29 June 2012 (BST)
