Talk:Timeline

Proposed deletion

As the lead notes, there's already: :category:timeline which does the same thing, and more completely. Or, if you don't like that, how about category:centuries. This "article" adds nothing in terms of explanatory text, and it's not even written in an in-universe style. There's really no need for this redundancy whatsoever.

Just noticed those categories aren't well organized. So I see the need for this page: people are being lazy. If instead they organzied the category page and put some explanatory text at the top, it'd be fine, and the wiki would be cleaner. Still think this page should go.

Eh, okay, I get the point. If you really want to have an ordered list using cardinal numbers you do in fact have to make a page for it. Still, it's such an empty effort, it hardly seems worth the time. Still needs to be rewritten so as not to be so obviously out-of-universe. Objection withdrawn.

Centuries

Can someone add the 6th and 7th century into this? --MrThermomanPreacher ^{talk to me} 22:08, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

This is the only doctor who timeline I have found so far. It has plenty of stuff, but it should be organized better.

Century list

The century list template has a lot of doubled up centuries on it, many of which are out of order. This is due to the fact the "centuries" category has subcategories for each century as well as the actual century pages themselves. The end result makes the list look like a bit of a dog's breakfast, so is there any way we can fix it? The two options I can see are to take the redundant "centuries" category out of the centuries pages (for example: 100th century is in both the Centuries category and the 100th century category), or to just scrap the template altogether and make it a list manually. But I'm not exactly known for my html skills so there may be other options. Does anyone have any ideas on what would be the best course of action? LauraBatham ☎ 02:54, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm certainly no expert, but I think the problem here is that with the recent changes to the wikia, the line of code "namespace=14" no longer works properly. That line is meant to restrict the list to only main namespace pages, but, as you've said, categories are being listed too now. Not sure how this might be fixed though. A lot of the other problems which have arisen seem to be mopped up pretty quickly, so maybe it's just a matter of waiting for it to be fixed? Unless anyone know where these issues can be reported.
