A little of both. Parenthisis aren't really used all that often as they are meant to de-emphethize material. They are even more rare in a reference material work, such as wiki-pages and wikias, due to their encyclopidic nature. If used, they would be for either birthdates to death days as exampled

Zaiaku (xx oo, 19xx - xx oo, 20xx)  or acronyms after the full length name of an originazation, which we don't have yet. However the one use you have in your post on my wall is in fact a right way of using although in a more professional setting it would instead be sandwhiched between two commas.

However, don't worry so much, Use them if you want to, I'll change them if necessary.
