Make timelines collapsible by era

User Interface (UI) / User Experience (UX) · Timelines · Created by ethawyn

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  Allow for timeline eras to be collapsible by era (with a toggle to be collapsed or not by default). Current timelines can get very long and require a lot of scrolling.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Since timelines are organized under era headers, these headers could collapse the dates under it in order to make navigation through a timeline easier, as it would make the page shorter and let the reader find and expand the timeline they want.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

    Ease of navigation is always important when trying to read articles.

    Would especially be useful for worlds like mine where there was an apocalyptic event that reshaped the world once or more times in the past.

    Yes. I love timelines and I have a tendency to make them very long. Collapsing all the eras would be a good way to get an overview of the timeline at a high level.

    I agree... and I'd like to add that another feature like a filter would also welcome. Like giving the abilities to the viewers what kind of information they would like to pay attention. like order of importance or what domain.
