Talk:BIONICLE Timeline

I suggest a complete re-write of the timeline, to better understand and date articles.

Here's the problem: on the current timeline, it doesn't give any dates for the things that should have dates; just when they happened in thousand-year periods. It's hard to find the information you want. A better idea, one I hope we could all embrace, is to mimic another, much larger wiki: Wookiepedia. They date everything from a single event - in their case, the Battle of Yavin, or the beginning of George Lucas' saga. For example, they date the destruction of the second Death Star as 5 ABY, or five years after the Battle of Yavin

What I propose is that, over a period of several weeks, editors re-mark all the dates to a single reference point. The reference point: when the Toa Mata first awaken on Mata Nui. Everything in that year would be 0 BTM (Before Toa Mata) or 0 ATM (After Toa Mata). Dates after that period would be marked according to how many years after the Toa Mata (ATM), and dates in the past would be marked with how many years before the Toa Mata (BTM). I know of several articles that have specific dates marked from the 2007 LEGO Brickmasters magazine timeline that aren't mentioned in any articles.

Vote yes or no below this article, but I say yes to the changes.

I vote no because the timeline is looking like the normal version

Sorry dude.

It might be wise to make a template that has a time period on it and put that on all pages about things in that time period. Awsometoa (talk) 00:32, December 17, 2014 (UTC)
