I think the only OOU info on that page was a reference that wasn't linked properly and showed up in the text.

But yeah, years can be awkward. It's generally ok to use them in a historical sense; we know Rag Doll was active in the 1940's, etc. It gets to be a problem when you reference with modern books. Listing the year in two subsequent Justice League arcs may have one story in 2016 and another in 2017. For readers it may be several months but story-wise only a little time may have passed between arcs. That's one example of a situation we try to avoid. Or having a 1990's character active for 20 years but still have them be a teenager. You get the idea.
