Multiple initial release dates - is this a bug?

  1.  
    1. Some /film/film instances have multiple values under "initial_release_date" property.

      An example is Gridlock'd [ http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000086440a ]

       

      Usually there is a full ISO format date (e.g. 1997-01-01] and a year-only date (e.g. 1997).

       

      Is this a bug?  The dates do not appear to be tied to a release in a particular country or anything like that. 

      1. Hmm, looks like inital release date is not restricted to one value, and if you look at the history, it looks like mw_template_bot is adding the date instead of updating.

        Another good question is, what led you to check out the topic about the movie Gridlock'd!!!

      2. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that the release dates would be added instead of updated.  Is this expected behaviour?

      3. It's not expected; I'll try to track down who did the update and let them know.

      4. Thanks Bryan!
