Trying out a few different systems for timelines.
I don't consider a bulleted list a timeline. It's a list, not a line! I thought a fancy wikitable might do the job, but I just discovered EasyTimeline.
See Category:Graphical_timelines for some interesting, welldone timelines.
Pros:
- like a timeline (prettier!)
- scales pretty well up or down
- easy to edit
Cons:
- Hard to start up, maybe
- Takes up more space than the bulleted list it replaced
