:::I've been trying out some designs and the best compromise is the implementation of the "next/previous" feature. Other wikis such as Wookieepdia (which had little to no articles on years) and Wikipedia (which struggled with the rapid development of real-world events) are unable to provide guidance on constructing a good timeline template. What we can do with the concept of "common years" is to create articles on those "common years" (i.e. an article on 2550s, like Wikipedia's 1990s) while avoiding using fan-made/pseudo-official era titles. If these proposals can be agreed, I'll proceed with reverting the template to its previous design.— <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 13:21, 18 September 2016 (EDT) | :::I've been trying out some designs and the best compromise is the implementation of the "next/previous" feature.

Can we get rid of the giant obnoxious box that goes with each page for a year so that it only contains "previous" and "next"? | Can we get rid of the giant obnoxious box that goes with each page for a year so that it only contains "previous" and "next"? | ||
::I was hoping we could make the Timeline infobox on each page it appears on a simple box that just contains links to the previous and next years instead of also having a giant section that splits up history into arbitray categories, etc. Look at the page for 2553, for example. I'd like to put in an image for January but can't due to the unwieldy infobox.[[User:TheEld|TheEld]] ([[User talk:TheEld|talk]]) 12:57, 1 September 2017 (EDT) | ::I was hoping we could make the Timeline infobox on each page it appears on a simple box that just contains links to the previous and next years instead of also having a giant section that splits up history into arbitray categories, etc. Look at the page for 2553, for example.
