Erik,
Should interactive web, internet of things, or offline services relying on Foundation encyclopedia CC-BY-SA content be required to attribute authorship by specifying the revision date from which the transluded content is derived?
James -
I don't think there's a sufficiently strong justification for modifying the manner of attribution specified in the "Terms of Use", which in any case would only apply to re-use of future revisions of CC-BY-SA/CC-BY content that's not also exempted by "fair use".
As a best practice, I do believe including timestamp or version information is helpful both for re-users themselves and for end users. [[Progressive disclosure]] keeps such information manageable. In my own re-use of CC-0 data from Wikidata, Open Library and similar sources, I do include timestamp information along with the source. Example re-use from Wikidata: https://lib.reviews/static/uploads/last-sync.png
