Usage

You can use this template to include a timeline in an article page.

  1. Type {{subst:Include timeline}} where you want the timeline to appear.
  2. Click "Preview"
  3. In the box that appears, follow the link to create a timeline
  4. Fill in the blanks using the instructions that appear
  5. Once you've saved your timeline, return to the article page and press "save". The timeline will appear wherever {{subst:Include timeline}} lies.

Advanced usage

If you wish to include more than one timeline in an article, or use a timeline in lots of different articles, just type {{subst:Include timeline|timeline name}}.

If you've made a timeline on the page "Abbey Road (album)", and now want to include it on the page "Beatles" too, just enter {{subst:Include timeline|Abbey Road (album)}} on the "Beatles" page.

Why use it?
