Where do ban dates come from?

From the publisher's official restriction or banlist notice, for example Bandai's One Piece Card Game restriction page. We quote the effective date it gives.

Do you update older articles after a ban?

We update the banlist explainer and re-check the deck guides and tier lists that rely on the affected card.

What is the difference between banned and restricted?

It depends on the game. Each banlist article quotes that game's official definition rather than assuming one rule for all TCGs.
