Lists every news post written by a character, oldest first. Put it on a character page; with no parameter it uses the current page's name.

{{Character News List}}

To list another character's news, give the name: <code><nowiki>{{Character News List|Basil Blight}}</nowiki></code>.

=== PAGE: Template:News Timeline/doc ===
This is the shared documentation and TemplateData for the three news timeline templates ([[Template:Global News]], [[Template:Domestic News]], [[Template:Character News]]). Each adds one table to an Era Nova year page. They are powered by [[Module:Timeline]] and [[Module:Calendar]].

== How to use ==
<pre>
{{Global News
| Year = 1
}}
</pre>

That is all most year pages need: every post written with <code><nowiki>{{News Header}}</nowiki></code> appears here automatically, on the day its <code>RealDate</code> falls in, and days with nothing are merged into one row.

=== Events that have no page of their own ===
For something staff-only (like "Era Nova Begins") fill in the day's box, one event per line:

<pre>
Post title; Character or nation; optional real-world date
</pre>

<pre>
{{Global News
| Year = 1
| Day1 = <span>Era Nova Begins</span>
}}
</pre>

A plain name becomes a link automatically; wrap it in <code><nowiki><span>...</span></nowiki></code> to keep plain text. If a typed line is for a post that also has a page, the typed line is dropped so nothing appears twice.

== Notes ==
* A post only appears if it uses <code><nowiki>{{News Header}}</nowiki></code> with a valid <code>RealDate</code>.
* Year pages are cached: after a new post is saved, purge the year page to see it straight away.
* <code>Auto=no</code> turns the automatic list off (handy for testing).
