General Discussion

Might have to use a smaller font size. Especially around the perma death city times. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:31, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I agree. I want to make it as easy to update for editors as possible, too. Still in the very earliest stages.~Vsig.png 19:39, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Game Updates, Historical events, anything else? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:41, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
How's that. As far as entires, I'm thinking major game updates (I'm not sure all the minor ones like server downtime need to be included), the impact on the game of the updates, historical events. ~Vsig.png 19:43, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, wirecutters did more than junkyards, but throw it together in rough and we can review it afterwards. let me know if you get stuck on MV or BHW. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Yeah I'm sure I'll need help with a lot due to my relative newness to the game and the general lackadaisical way in which details of certain events are chronicaled on the wiki. Once the outline is there, anyone is free to edit this page to add details. I'll throw on some updating instructions, some NPOV statements and permission for others to edit. ~Vsig.png 19:55, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Frankly anyone who uses the phrase lackadaisical is fine in my book. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Heh, well sometimes the word lazy just isn't descriptive enough. ~Vsig.png 20:04, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Quite. If you're bored, swing by Developing Guides. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Yeah I read the guide and will post commentary probably later this evening. I have to step out now. So far its looking good as a guide, though. ~Vsig.png 20:19, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Wow, I like. I really like. The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new 20:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
The font size is not too small is it? I've previewed it at 75% and it looks better but it also forces sentences into many more lines than I'd like. ~Vsig.png 21:22, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Looks fine as is, to me. The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new 21:23, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Group inclusion

Should we be including group formation in the timeline? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 17:50, 18 April 2012 (BST)

Though I am slightly biased, I'd say we include the more notable ones. -- Cheese 18:20, 18 April 2012 (BST)
I say we don't include any of the active ones, but include only the ones that have passed Historical voting. Otherwise, we'll be cluttering up this page when folks come en mass claiming their currently active group is notable enough for the timeline. Alternatively, we can have a vote to include active groups. Say,2/3 majority yay votes will place said active group on this timeline. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 18:48, 18 April 2012 (BST)

This certainly seems like something that can be handled with objective criteria - Did the group have such an effect on the game that removing them would have altered the history of the game? If so, we put them on, or something to that effect.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 19:59, 18 April 2012 (BST)
