Apologies for using the 'old technology' of categories etc for this. I undertook to get it up and running fast and so more-or-less just cloned the JFK Assassination Timeline --Peter P (talk) 11:05, 28 July 2014 (IST)

* Call for suggestions re timelines

Apologies accepted ;) Seriously, let's work out what we would like as regards timelines. What would be an ideal set of standards/practices?... Then see how close we can get by implementing that using SMW technology. I have left the existing code for this timeline as it is, but added a |timeline parameter to Template:Event to show how we could start to phase out the existing system with something more flexible and robust.

Wish list for timelines

  1. A common template for "events" and "timeline events" - since this would allow for easy moving of events in and out of timelines
  2. Events can occur in an arbitrary number of timelines - because events have multiple significance, and we don't want multiple copies of events running around
  3. List of all timelines easily available, e.g. at the timeline page
  4. Events to display either as points (Property:occurred on) or as line (Property:start -- Property:end)
  5. No custom code needed - this is unwieldy and hard to maintain

Ideas...

  1. Event pages occurring (optionally?) as subpages of the main event/person page.
