EG Redesign - Ideas and Suggestions?

[Drashner1]

Sounds like the Template capability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:A_qui..._templates

I'm not sure how that would work with only selecting scattered timeline entries of a particular topic, but contiguous segments could be templates all hosted in order on the main timeline page, like:

{{Information Age timeline}}
{{Interplanetary Age timeline}}
{{Solsys Golden Age timeline}}
etc.

Re scattered timeline entries - if we had the information in something like an Excel spreadsheet (which is just a database of course), we could in theory have a 'Subject' column with options similar/the same as the six main Topics at the top of the EG. You could class new inventions as 'Technology' for example and then run a filter for all Technology classed items in the database. Or Culture or Sophonts or whatever.

Building sub-timelines from disparate entries might be trickier but might also be outweighed by other positive functionality that a 'one timeline to rule them all' could give us.
