{{Timeline
| name   = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| title  =

| image  = 
| above  = 
| row1   =

Parameters

Content parameters

These parameters are used to change the content of the timeline portion of the navbox.

rown - Defines a row with a optional label.
spann - Sets how many rows tall the label for row n should be. Any labels for rows that fall inside the label will be discarded.
itemn - Defines an item to show in the navbox. The item is shown in the last defined row. If an item exists without a row of the same number, it is either added to the previous row or a new row is created.
daten - Defines the start and end year for item n in the format start-end. If end is omitted, the current year is omitted, so generally the items at the end of the timeline should use the format start-.
decades - Set to no to remove the decade row and to show the full year.
footer - Set to yes to show the date rows at the bottom of the timeline as well.
label - Include to show a label column with the content of the rown parameters beneath the value of the label parameter.

This is a basic example of this template.

Source code

{{Timeline

| state  = uncollapsed
| title  = Example timeline
| row1   =
| item1  = Foo
| date1  = 1985-2014
| item2  = Bar
| date2  = 2019-2035
| row3   =
| item3  = Baz
| date3 = 1995-2020
}}

label

When you specify the |label= parameter, the contents of the |rown= parameters are shown on the left underneath the |label= parameter.

Source code

{{Timeline
| name   = {{FULLPAGENAME}}
| state  = uncollapsed
| title  = Example timeline
| label  = Type
| row1   = A
| item1  = Foo
| date1  = 1985-2014
| item2  = Bar
| date2  = 2019-2035
| row3   = B
| span3  = 2
| item3  = Baz
| date3  = 1995-2020
| row4   =
| item4  = Qux
| date4  = 2005-2015
}}

decades

Inside another navbox

This template can be used to inside another navbox by calling it using {{Timeline|child|...}}.
