If you have just created a century page and this template is not working properly, the most likely cause is because you have mis-capitalized your page.  This template's "parent" looks for a lower-case "c" in the PAGENAME.  Thus, it will work with [[21st century]] but not the redirect page, [[21st Century]].
Please remember that the word "century" should not be capitalized in the PAGENAME of any new century page that you create.

Do not directly call this template. It is used to support other templates. Once another template decides that the topic of a page is a century, this template will automatically provide a navigation box.

It is completely automatic, and has no user-definable parameters.

Sample output

Because this template is dependent upon detecting a PAGENAME that is a century, its output can only be seen on a century page. It is impossible to reproduce its results here. If you wish to test it, go to any century and add {{timeline}} to the page.

Special note

Please remember that the word "century" should not be capitalized in the PAGENAME of any new century page that you create.
