The date was never mentioned to be in 2016 in Civil War, and the date is confirmed to be 2017 in Homecoming. But sure, I'll discuss it on a talk page. No clue why you don't use chat tho. and what about the TV shows, which discuss Captain America's actions during the Avengers Civil War as well as the Sokovia Accords? Those episodes are set in 2016, with the date/years shown too. Not to mention the statements of Battle of New York being 2012.

The shows are MCU too, and the events in the shows are factored into the timeline as well. We don't use chat here because discussions are meant to be visible to anyone and later archived. Chat is not something people later down the line can come back and refer to and see what was said. Chat is too "personal", and there's no record of what was posted being publicly visible. Because the shows aren't produced by Kevin Feige and the writers of that show aren't aware of the timeline the MCU is establishing.
