I really like what you've achieved and this should be replicated at
other year articles. In many ways, prose fills out the picture a lot
better for me than a list does. The list timeline has other
advantages: a lot of easily-accessible information and as a navigation
aid.
I think many year articles are linked to for the benefits the timeline
provides, particularly as navigation aid. At the same time, we have a
strong preference to prose articles, relegating lists to disambiguated
and clarified names ("List of X", "X timeline", &c.). How would
we
balance that [[1345]], and year articles more generally, are mainly
linked to for the purposes of navigation and instant broad
information, while giving our normal preference to prose?

years, which are
invariably bald timelines of births, deaths and events; the
possibility of fleshing them out into prose was tossed around.
I've just been told someone finally did one of them :-)
