Should individual years be categories?[[User:Cure|Cure]] 22:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC) | Should individual years be categories?[[User:Cure|Cure]] 22:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC) | ||
It's tempting, but I think no. Any NPC page with a decent history is going to have several years on their page. We don't want an NPC put in several year categories, I think. Now, ''events'' might be a good thing to put in a year category. But maybe we can get away with "Category:Events of ___ BC" and just link that from the year page. We might want to even make it "Major Events of ..." I don't think we want a page for ''every single event'', like "Prince Bevis Vistin starts his reign," or "Dr. Van Richten fights the Golem of the Fens".. etc. | |||
I think the best way to handle the years is to manually keep a list of timeline events of that year. Importing from the Mangrum timeline is a good start, but also using the "what links here" button. -- [[User:Gonzoron|Gonzoron]] 19:20, 7 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

I like this idea, but how do you intend to color code the events? Will you be putting a timeline in text form here in the category page? -- Gonzoron 15:14, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
