Talk:Timeline of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One

Date Order
Currently, events in the BR section are ordered from oldest to newest. If we keep it that way, suggest that the AR section come after BR, and follow the same convention. If the AR section remains first on the page, suggest that events in both it and in BR should be ordered from newest to oldest. Thoughts? Danaelblack (talk) 22:03, April 30, 2023 (PDT)


 * Good thinking! I don't have a huge preference for the ordering of the BR and AR sections. My only concern about potentially ordering events from newest to oldest is the BR timeline might be more confusing due to the "backward" numbering of the years (older dates have larger numbers). But, seeing as the BR/AR convention is clearly defined and labeled in the table, this may be less of an issue than I originally thought. Given this, do you think "oldest to newest" or "newest to oldest" is the most user-friendly event order? --MAdAstra (talk) 11:02, May 1, 2023 (PDT)


 * I'd go with "oldest to newest", as this will help folks avoid spoilers for eps they haven't seen yet. Once we get the AR events in, we may also want to throw a spoilers warning up top.  I don't think we have a template for spoilers yet; I'll look into that.  Any ideas for a good quote, throw them my way!  Danaelblack (talk) 11:50, May 1, 2023 (PDT)Danaelblack


 * Looks great, thanks for taking this one on. Danaelblack (talk) 20:24, May 1, 2023 (PDT)
 * I oppose a spoilers template, given that the wiki is not spoiler free per the wiki's rules. The expectation is that anyone on the wiki should have in mind that the spoilers will be present, just as if on Wikipedia. I also suggest not formatting this article within a table because it's not exactly accessible and mobile friendly. Tables should be for data organization, and this isn't really a data table. Might I suggest:

Which renders as: Or as a bulleted list of some sort? I also agree this should be in oldest to newest, not because of spoilers (again, we are not censoring spoilers) but because it is the most intuitive organization. CaptainOfTheTidesBreath (talk) 19:56, May 2, 2023 (PDT)
