Template:Timeline/doc

Usage

This template works automatically. Simply place {{timeline}} on any year, date or century page. The template does the rest for you.

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

Sample output

Because this template uses parser functions that manipulate the PAGENAME of pages on which it is placed, it is impossible to show sample output on this page (Template:Timeline/doc). If you wish to test it, just go to any timeline-related page and use it.

Special note

This is the second version of this template. The past version required users to specifically define several variables. Thus you may occasionally encounter pages where this template has defined parameters. These are harmless, and do not impinge upon the proper operation of this version of the template. To reiterate, however, they are not required, or even used, by this template. Thus, editors should refrain from trying to define parameters such as "next", "prev", "century" and "decade".
