Station
A station with no dates at all
No start and no end. It sorts last instead of being dropped β the same tolerance every renderer here has.

A station with no dates at all
No start, no end. A timeline sorted by date has nowhere to put this, and the interesting question is what it does about that.
It sorts last. Not first β that distinction is the whole point. An undated document treated as "unknown, therefore earliest" climbs to the top of every feed on the site and pushes real content off the front page, which is exactly what happened once and is why the rule is written down.
Give it a start year from the editor and it takes its place in the sequence, live, without a reload.
