Talk:Timeline

Filling this in is a bit of a pain, but a little at a time it's not so bad.

Step 1: Click on a year in the Timeline
Step 2: click on "what links here" for that year, to find events from that year.
Step 3: Edit the year's page, adding brief summaries of any significant events between the "onlyinclude" tags.
Step 4: Then mark off here in the Talk:Timeline discussion page which ones you've done.

There's a bit of an issue in the way citations/references work here. If you use a <ref name="NAME">CONTENTS</ref> construct in one of the year pages, and use the same NAME on a ref on a different year page, this allows both to be combined in a single footnote. But the the CONTENTS have to be exactly identical on both pages, otherwise, there will be the ugly "Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;" message that we currently have a lot of. To get rid of these, I've been going through one by one and aligning them. But the best would be to standardize on a format, so we don't get more of them going forward. To that end, I propose we stick to a format like these:

• Gazetteer I p. 95
• Gazetteer I pp. 92-93
• Gazetteer I pp. 92,95

Notably, we'll follow these rules:

• use p. for single page, pp. for multiple pages, whether as a range or a list of individual ones. (no "pg.", no bare numbers like "Gazetteer I 95")
• make sure there's a . and a space immediately after p or pp. (no "pp28-29", no "p.28")
• no . at the end of the CONTENTS
• no , after the source name (no "Gazetteer I,")
• no space after the comma between page numbers (no "92, 95")

Open to discussion on any changes to these guidelines, but consistency must be followed somehow to avoid the Cite Errors. Gonzoron (talk) 11:36, 3 December 2020 (MST)

I've fixed all the Cite errors for now. Please keep an eye out for any recurrence, and adhere to the guidelines, if using the "ref name" tag. -- Gonzoron (talk) 11:45, 23 December 2020 (MST)
