Template talk:Roll of years

I just wanted to leave a note and say that I love this; it's absolutely awesome. I've copied it for use on the Garweeze Wurld Wiki. Again, very awesome. --Legba 13:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thankoo :) Focke was the one who made it (inspired from the Wikipedia calender template). Zerak talk 19:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Adding calendars
If you are going to add a calendar to this template, then we should probably add another one to make it even and go with the third example that we discussed previously. Yes? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 15:29, May 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * I say, let's switch over to #3 regardless of whether or not it is even yet. I have at least two more I could add. Make the change to the new template, and I'll fill it it with the Glacier Reckoning.


 * At some point, though, there will be more. I know of the Serôs Reckoning, and I think Myth Drannor might have one too. Could we go to three throws of four at that point, or does that just start getting ugly?

 * I added the Ulutiun calendar and the Timesong of Serôs. The elves of Myth Drannor (and elsewhere) measure time with rysar and such, not years, so we don't have to worry about them. There is also the New Hmureckoning (NH), but that one will involve more math I don't feel like doing right now. ~ Lhynard (talk) 16:46, May 12, 2016 (UTC)

Also, how should we sort them? By age? Alphabetically? Geographically? ~ Lhynard (talk) 16:31, May 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * My feeling is we don't need every calendar that's been presented in the lore. Some don't seem to have ever actually been used in setting material, like the Cormyr and North Reckonings. I feel we should restrict this to only the most useful, the ones that whole sourcebooks use. The Kara-Tur setting books primarily use the Shou and Kozakuran calendars, hence why I added them, though it would be necessary to include the Wa-an calendar later. (I'm not even going to try Kozakura's 60-year-cycles.)


 * Alternatively, if we do want all calendars for completeness, then maybe a more compressed format would be better. A three-row scroll of seven lines takes up a fair bit of screen space (though the Years pages are seem too short or too long for it to be an issue). — BadCatMan (talk) (Bah.)
 * NOTE ^^^ BCM forgot to sign his post! :^D
 * Okay, I have two new formats for you to look at and make comments. #4 is three rows of four and #5 is two rows of six. They both look great in monobook, but #5 looks a bit off in the default skin (oasis). To fix the alignment of #5 we could hyphenate the heading like shown in #1 (or I can force the vertical alignment with CSS, but it will be asymmetric). What do you think, sirs? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:00, May 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * PS, please come to agreement soon. The current eleven-wide scroll is hideous for the early years. :-P &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:34, May 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * I like #5 in Monobook, and I think hyphenation would be fine. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:50, May 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * I like both equally well. ~ Lhynard (talk) 04:11, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

"Glacier Reckoning"
&hellip;is the Ulutiun calendar, and I already put it on there. ~ Lhynard (talk) 04:14, May 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, then we have an empty slot. Can we fill it with another calendar? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 12:40, May 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * I can add the Wa calendar. It's the other major calendar of Kara-Tur. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:21, May 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * I added the Wa Year system. — BadCatMan (talk) 10:11, May 14, 2016 (UTC)
