Help:Timelines

Timeline format

Here are some examples to give an idea of the correct format for timelines.

---

When you have two events in the same month, but you only have the day of the month for one, put the event that includes the day second:

* 1581/9 [[Sagara Yoshihira]] of [[Higo province]] surrenders to [[Shimazu Yoshihisa]].

* 1581/9/11 [[Siege of Iga]]

This is the result:

• 1581/7 XYZ Happens
• 1581/9 Sagara Yoshihira of Higo province surrenders to Shimazu Yoshihisa.
• 1581/9/11 Siege of Iga
• 1581/10 XYZ Happens
• 1581/12 XYZ Happens

---

If three things happened in the same month, but you only have the day for one of them, it should look like this:

* 1581/9

** [[Sagara Yoshihira]] of [[Higo province]] surrenders to [[Shimazu Yoshihisa]].

** XYZ happened this month.

* 1581/9/11 [[Siege of Iga]]

This is the result:

• 1581/4 XYZ Happens
• 1581/7 XYZ Happens
• 1581/9
  • Sagara Yoshihira of Higo province surrenders to Shimazu Yoshihisa.
  • XYZ happened this month.
• 1581/9/11 Siege of Iga
• 1581/11 XYZ Happens
