One thing that still constantly bothers me about the site is when we have fuzzy dates applied to older games, and they still show up at the top of the list on any given page it's attached to.
If there's a fuzzy date that says "november 1994" it should be underneath a 2008 release that has a specific date like 11/4/2008.
I just feel like this would make everything more organized.
Fuzzy Dates need to be applied more effectively.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I agree. Just because the known time of release is less precise doesn't mean it should be treated exactly as if there was no release time at all. Furthermore, the way months and quarters are separate drop-downs doesn't make sense -- they should be combined. And since the topic has been raised, I've found that seasons are often used in announcing an expected release, so it would be nice if those were added too (with the context of which hemisphere is being used).
Oh, and another unfortunate thing about fuzzy dates is that company pages don't make use of them. How many companies actually tell you the exact date they were founded? Not many. Most give a month and year, or just a year. Fuzzy dates would solve that problem nicely.
Fuzzy dates need to go before 1975 too! I had to put 01/01/1959 for an "exact" date in Mouse in the Maze. :/
