I thought about that, but then it's often difficult to provide a "discovery date", since often discoveries are uncertain or partial and the complete information has been "discovered" over the course of many years. If you take a look at the "Planets in history" theme, you will see some examples.

That being said, there is a "discovery year" given in the extrasolar planets encyclopedia, so you could take a look at it there :
