The Timeline Project, Split from the D'ni Timeline discussion topic

Dude, you are totally awesome.

OK, the GUT should now link to all of the distributed timeline pages. I also created pages for the BE years. The original plan discussed linking the distributed timeline pages to other relevant articles in the archive that describe the events in more detail. Would the next step be to go through the GUT and see if it would be appropriate to add any cross-references in the corresponding distributed timeline pages?

Wow, Andy, great job. I've totally fallen off the wagon, but you have done a great deal of work.

Yes, I believe the next phase on the timeline project is to get to the cross linking. Three things need to happen, all brief, but for a great many articles.


1. add links from the distributed timeline to the relevant articles (for workload sake, I vote we not cross link the GUT)

2. add links from the content articles to the distributed timeline, where appropriate (for example it makes sense for the King Alish article to link to 120 DE, his coronation, but not the Ronay article to link to 73BE, even though it is mentioned)

3. identify the content articles that we need entries for. This is best done by making a thread in the Archive Request forum. the other thing you can do is create an article for the missing content and tag it as a stub. This will allow you to put in the cross links as you go, even if the content is slim.

Carry on. Right now I am pretty busy, but hopefully August will see me with more free time.
