Examples
Basic
This is a basic example of this template.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | row1 = | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }}
label
When you specify the |label=
parameter, the contents of the |rown=
parameters are shown on the left underneath the |label=
parameter.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | label = Type | row1 = A | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = B | span3 = 2 | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 | row4 = | item4 = Qux | date4 = 2005-2015 }}
decades
When |decades=no
is set, the decade row is removed and the year row contains the full years.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | label = Type | decades = no | row1 = A | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = B | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }}
When |footer=yes
is set, the decade and year rows at the top of the template are shown again at the bottom. This is useful for very large timelines.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | footer = yes | row1 = | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }}
Item and label style
The |stylen=
parameters can be used to style items and the |labelstylen=
can be used to style rows.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | label = Type | row1 = A | labelstyle1 = background: #e459e4; | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | style1 = background-color: #ff7c7c; | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | style2 = background-color: #e6cd38; | row3 = B | labelstyle3 = background: #50aeff; | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 | style3 = background-color: #72d272; }}
above and below
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | above = Above | below = Below | row1 = | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }}
start and end
|startoffset=
and |endoffset=
can be used to extend the start and end of the timeline.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | startoffset = 5 | endoffset = 5 | row1 = | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }}
Alternatively, |startyear=
and |endyear=
can be used to extends the start and end of the timeline to those years of the content of the timeline doesn't go beyond those years.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | startyear = 1975 | endyear = 2046 | row1 = | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }}
This template can be used to inside another navbox by calling it using {{Timeline|child|...}}
.
{{Navbox | title = Example timeline | group1 = Timeline | state = uncollapse | list1 = {{Timeline|child | row1 = | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }} }}
image and imageleft
The |image=
and |imageleft=
can be used to add content (preferably images) to the right and left of the navbox respectively.
{{Timeline | name = Timeline | state = uncollapsed | title = Example timeline | image = [[File:Flag of the United States.svg|100px]] | imageleft = [[File:Flag of Canada.svg|100px]] | row1 = | item1 = Foo | date1 = 1985-2014 | item2 = Bar | date2 = 2019-2035 | row3 = | item3 = Baz | date3 = 1995-2020 }}
