: US$0.02: I think we've always used release year.  A mod derives importance mainly from its reception, not its development process.  It's also the least ambiguous approach — would we put a community megawad in five categories because it was built in fits and starts?  Time stamp is normally equal to release year, obviously, but where it differs, the reason can be marginalia (e.g. modifying file metadata or dumping a broken hard drive).  None of this should discourage noting an anomaly ''in the body text'' where historically relevant, as it is here.    [[User talk:Ryan W|Ryan W]] (''[[Special:PermaLink/113430|usually gone]]'') 08:56, 22 July 2016 (CDT)
