Mention System for Timelines

Feature Upgrade · Timelines · Created by R.A. Vaught

Timeline BBCode

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

The ability to mention a date in an article using the mention system to produce a named entry in the timeline to generate a historical event.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Using a variant of the current mention system, the user could $####(timeline) that would generate a stub as it currently does for articles.

What are other uses for this feature request?

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! The extended mention system already supports events (use "[" instead of "@" as the trigger character if you're a Guild member). As for placeholder links for events, this would require a very complex implementations, are historical events are not simple structures (they require at least a date on top of the event name). For now I recommend using the purple button (green plus button at the bottom right -> purple inkwell button), but an upcoming update to the WYSIWYG editor will address this too.

I feel like this would be too niche and take too much time away from the other accepted suggestion I'd rather see. Maybe if the + icon on the bottom right had a historical entry thing that would be enough? Wouldn't generating from wysiwyg be too different from all the other features on the site except maybe todos?
