The timeline of the game with the most recent year is what should be used. Counting in ESO as the proper timeline for the wiki just because it is the most recently released game should use is not acceptable, as many things in history have happened after 2E 582.

Every main Elder Scrolls game takes place in a more recent year, while the spin-offs usually take place in an older year.

Here's a list of main games:
 * Arena - 3E 389/399
 * Daggerfall - 3E 405
 * Morrowind - 3E 427
 * Oblivion - 3E 433
 * Skyrim - 4E 201

and here's a list of spin-offs:
 * Battlespire - between 3E 389 - 3E 399
 * Redguard - 2E 864
 * Stormhold - ???
 * Dawnstar - ???
 * Shadowkey - 3E 397
 * Online - 2E 582
 * Legends - TBA

None of them take place after Arena. Every lore article should be using the timeline of Skyrim's 4E 201. Making a separate timeline for each article based on the game it appears in doesn't make much sense. For example, saying House Hlaalu is still a great house because it still is as of Morrowind is invalid information.

This is a no-brainer question.
