I'm not really sure how this would affect the semantic elements of the wiki given that hardly anyone seems to include actual dates in articles on the wiki. The closest thing to it are the continent timelines which only tend to update if there's someone active and willing to manually update it with happenings.
There are interesting things that *could* be done. It's just that nobody uses it. So nobody sees them, so nobody uses them, etc....

For example: The dynamic timeline feature that we sue for unique items:
http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Category:Armour_(unique)

Imagine using that as the timeline for your Empire. It can only work using RL dates.

There are various other ways dynamic lists can be used to create combined lists and timelines. You could tag pages for Arcaea, someone else can tag pages for Kindara, and someone else for Cathay. You can then run a semantic query to bring all those items together on a combined list in a common format, with various features like the dynamic timeline.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
