Tidying up
I'm not up to speed on how timelines work, but one template per timeline looks like a bad move. I would suggest (without having looked at exactly how timelines work) either:
- Template:Timeline Event; or
- Adding a timeline parameter on the ordinary Template:Event (preferred option, if it can be made to work)
