Infobox years

Why are you adding "years ago" stuff to the infoboxes? It doesn't seem like important information to note. Was this discussed anywhere? --CanvasK (talk) 07:16, November 11, 2022 (EST)

Wikipedia had "years ago" in a foundation date or event date. Whether or not they appeared in the latest work is also important. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempest Tales (talkcontribs) 07:20, November 11, 2022 (EST)
