I don't see why you wouldn't want that - each timeline can have different eras, so if you have added them, then it makes sense you would want them to be displayed. But making it a toggle feature would satisfy everyone...

Ah, this one again :-). It has come up on more than one occasion before. At first I thought it was actually a bug but I was informed that it was the settled opinion of the community that they wanted it to work the way it does now. Based on what's happened since it does seem I'm not the only one that thinks there is nothing wrong with displaying "empty" eras to the public just as they appear to the editor and owner of the timeline, so maybe not so settled, and not just me that finds the current way it works confusing. I'm personally on the side of Shadow and Coco. I'd personally make displaying the era the default (or why add it at all) and have a check box to suppress it for those that want to hide their "empty" eras to keep everyone happy.

If timelines are empty they should not visible. I mean, if there's nothing to see in it why have it public?

Sure, but only if it is togglable. Otherwise, I'd be against having empty eras display.

I can see the usecases for both pretty equally! I think the toggle solution presented by others here already would be ideal! If only one can exist, I'd rather err on the side of displaying empty eras.

This idea is appealing to me. I can see how I would want to have an era that I have not written about (yet, or maybe never) but that era might be a "time leap" from one period to another in the story. I think that could be useful!

Yes, because there could be eras that exist but no one knows what happened back then. Think of RPGs for Dr Who, Time Cop or Terminator.   .......wait, I'm getting a spiritual impression that this has been said before by a powerful soul from the past!   For me, toggle is usually the best option. =)

There should be an option, but by default they should be visible. Knowing which era a world is in gives a lot of context, but sometimes you just don't have anything to put in those eras yet! And think about it: on Earth we don't have any concrete events for the Precambrian, but we still named it :)

Allowing empty eras allows for more flexibility. Maybe add classes so it's easy to hide them with CSS as desired (or a toggle option?).
