Forum:SH:Exact dating for ancient events

This is my first time posting on the Senate Hall so forgive me if I screw anything up.

Do you think we should change the way we date ancient events on Wookieepedia? I think we get waaaaaaaay too specific with ancient events which are clearly mentioned in non-specific ways. For example just because in The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary, which is set in 34 ABY, says "4,000 years ago people used hyperspace sextants" that doesn't mean literally 4,000 years before the year 34 ABY in the year 3,966 BBY people used hyperspace sextants. It just clutters the wiki with pointless pages.

I think we should move towards using more approximate dates for ancient events. We should have pages for 'Approx 4,000 years ago' or 'Approx 6,000 years ago' instead of having pages for 5023 BBY, 3031 BBY, 7001 BBY, 7004 BBY, etc. When we eventually get some specific pieces of ancient media then we should go more specific obviously, but just because in 22 BBY Yoda says '1,000 years ago Darth Bane ate a sandwich' that doesn't mean we need to make a page called 978 BBY for Darth Bane's tasty Philly Cheese Steak.
