More "Wookiepedia" Mistakes

Is there something wrong with the Wookiepedia website? It had listed Jyn and Cassian's deaths on Scarif happening in 1BBY. A year before the Battle of Yavin? How is that possible, considering what happened at the end of both "Rogue One" and "Andor"? I think someone needs to contact the webmaster for the Wookiepedia site and correct these mistakes.

You realize it's a wiki and anyone can edit it, right? I'm certain there are far "worse" mistakes throughout the website inherently because of its wiki nature.

Rogue One happens on December 28th. Star Wars takes place mostly on January 2nd.
 
The site says it got the date from the book Star Wars: Timelines, so Wookieepedia's just relaying the information we've been given.

You can think of it as Rogue One taking place at the end of space year XX76 and Star Wars beginning in January XX77.
 
Considering Pablo Hildago's only job is to give star wars creators objectively wrong advice on the canon, I think we can let this one slide on wookieepedia.
 
It begs the question on if there is supposed to be a year zero. In the Gregorian Calendar there is no year zero, just 1 BC and 1 AD.

I wonder who had made that mistake.
Lucasfilm made the mistake, since the official date for Rogue One is 1BBY. They have everything leading up to A New Hope as 1BBY. So while you might disagree with it, it's technically not a mistake.
 
Rogue One and everything else immediately before (and technically including) ANH should be in 1 BBY. It's the first (er, last?) year before the Battle of Yavin. Everything in the year after the battle would be 1 ABY--as in the first year after the battle, not one whole year after it.
 
7977 being the year of A New Hope nulls any kind of headache with year zero bollocks
I agree, although I personally use the year 1077 (following on from the prequels establishing that the Republic had only stood for "over a thousand years") and work backwards or forwards from there.
 
I've always assumed the whole before Battle of Yavin and after Battle of the Yavin thing to be real world descriptors, not the in-universe date. Honestly, I don't care about the in universe date because it really doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
