Test:Lists

NOTE

This is one an example. I have maybe half a dozen others of similar format with up to 200 events in each.

There around 220 separate dated events in this list. Obvious material for a timeline of separate events but problems with naming each on separate templatised pages make it a time consuming job unlikely to ever be fully completed. Meantime they could usefully be linked to many existing pages as individual documents. But is there possible benefit in assigning the dates to SMW properties? --Peter P (talk) 06:52, 20 March 2016 (GMT)
