[edit] Let's get this started

Alright, now that we have a talk page set up, what needs work on the oWOD timeline? I've noticed there's not a lot of stuff for hunter: the reckoning, but that could be because of the lack of dates given in the books. --Shaoken 00:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

This is true, but also because BebopKate and I are the two most frequent users of the timeline. I'm a big fan of Mage, so I've mostly been putting Mage stuff in as I reference my Mage books. Kate does Wraith and Orpheus. I'm slowing working my way through my collection, but I'm still in the middle of Aberrant (which is on the top of four shelves).

Shouldn't stop you from getting started, if you like. See how Talk:Timeline (TU) is set up for keeping track of what's been done and what hasn't. What I do is I just flip through a book with Notepad open, and just transcribe all the dates I can, even if it's just a year, paired with the page the date appears on. Then I rearrange everything in Notepad into chronological order, and then update each year/article, one year at a time, flipping around through the book as needed.

That may not work best for you, but it's a starting point. --Ian 03:13, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I'll see what dates are given in the books. I guess I'll start with the events in the corebook, but since there isn't too many dates a lot of it will have to go on the year page. --Shaoken 03:23, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I think I've wrung all of the dates out of Orpheus I'm going to get, so unless anyone spots anything I missed, I would consider it complete. I'm going to have to do some backtracking on Wraith, though. BebopKate 19:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I've completed the story for the core-book of hunter: The reckoning. I'm planning on doing the Survival Guide next. --Shaoken 05:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

I can't figure out the system for individual dates. Could someone do it for me, or explain how only {{October 2}} can be on the edit page, yet it shows what happens in 2003?--Shaoken 06:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

October 2 will show all events that happened on October 2nd, no matter what the year. It's primarily of use on our front page, where it shows "today in White Wolf history." --Ian 15:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I think I get it. Thanks.--Shaoken 22:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
