Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

Is there a specific reason for using bullet points for undated event sections on individual and species pages? The only example which didn't use this I could find was Sea Devil. It seems like it really messes up uses of images. After all, "undated" isn't a synonym for unchronicled, offscreen adventures even if a few of those mentioned sections refer to "undated/unchronicled". It could easily refer to a comic story that isn't easy to place. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:34, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
