Template talk:Faction Infobox

Dates

LoTeK posted this edit summary for Kusari Naval Forces (player faction):

"Removed founding date, parameter format not friendly...I would like to put a real date, eventually with a sirius one. Any ideas?"

He tried to put a real date (2007) and the template added "A.S." after it as if it was a Freelancer date.

I see two possible options. Either we add a new field to the Faction Infobox for the real date the player faction was founded or we don't use real dates in the infobox. In my opinion, the latter suits us more. When the player faction was formed is less useful for most people reading about it, the in-game background of the faction should be emphasized. If the faction wants to include the real founding date, it could always be included in an OoRP section in the actual article.

What do the rest of you think?
