This is the shared documentation and TemplateData for the three news timeline templates. Each one adds a single table to an Era Nova year page. They are powered by [[Module:Timeline]].

== How to use ==
Put the template on a year page and give it the <code>Year</code>. Then fill in <b>only the days that had news</b>. Each day is one box; write one event per line:

<pre>
Event Title; Character/Nation Name; optional real-world date
</pre>

{| class="wikitable"
! What you want !! What to type
|-
| A normal event || <code>Event Title; Character Name</code>
|-
| Several events on one day || Put each on its own line in that day's box.
|-
| Several characters in one event || Separate them with commas: <code>Event Title; Character Name, Nation Name</code>
|-
| No character or nation || Leave it out: <code>Event Title</code>
|-
| A custom link or label || Write the link yourself: <code><nowiki>[[Page Name|Display Text]]; [[Character Name]]</nowiki></code>. If you link one name in the character box, link all of them.
|-
| A specific real-world date || Add it as a third part: <code>Event Title; Character Name; 2026-09-14</code>
|}

A plain name is turned into a link automatically. The real-world date is calculated from the year and the day; days with nothing in them are merged into one row.

=== Example ===
<pre>
== Global News ==
{{Global News
| Year = 1
| Day1 = Event Title 1; Character Name
| Day12 =
Event Title 2; Nation Name
Event Title 3; Character Name, Nation Name; 2026-08-07
}}
</pre>

=== The 14 days ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Day !! In-universe date
|-
| 1 || Early January
|-
| 2 || January–February
|-
| 3 || February–March
|-
| 4 || March–April
|-
| 5 || April–May
|-
| 6 || May–June
|-
| 7 || June
|-
| 8 || June–July
|-
| 9 || July–August
|-
| 10 || August–September

| 13 || November–December
|-
| 14 || Late December
