Apologies accepted ;) Seriously, let's work out what we would like as regards timelines. What would be an ideal set of standards/practices?... Then see how close we can get by implementing that using SMW technology. I have left the existing code for this timeline as it is, but added a |timeline parameter to Template:Event to show how we could start to phase out the existing system with something more flexible and robust.

Wish list for timelines
- A common template for "events" and "timeline events" - since this would allow for easy moving of events in and out of timelines
- Events can occur in an arbitrary number of timelines - because events have multiple significance, and we don't want multiple copies of events running around
- List of all timelines easily available, e.g. at the timeline page
- Events to display either as points (Property:occurred on) or as line (Property:start -- Property:end)
- No custom code needed - this is unwieldy and hard to maintain
Ideas...
- Event pages occurring (optionally?) as subpages of the main event/person page.
