Hey!
Yes, I'm the author. I don't know of any issues on wikimedia-foundation wikis. It
has been implemented on a mediawiki 1.12 and 1.13 wiki by myself on my home-pc as well as
on an online mediawiki 1.12 at
www.chaosreligion.com as you can see by youerself. The
testing of extensions at
http://extensiontesting.wikiation.nl seems to be a very good
idea. I will look more closer at that ;)
After all I'm totally convinced it would work on wikimedia-foundation wikis without
any problems.
greetings,
Markus

Hi! I think it would be a good idea to activate the WikiTimeLine MediaWiki extension in
wikiversity. Here's a short description: The MediaWiki extension WikiTimeLine version
1.0 is now released. It displays events, people, and such on an interactive timeline. Its
working with JavaScript (client side, so it doesn't put load on the server) and its
pretty interactive (moving around, zooming, clicking on events on the timeline). If you
add WikiTimeLine tags with a start and end date to an article, you'll get a link in
that article, and if you click on that link you'll add the event to the timeline. So
its totally real-time. Unlike easytimeline which is creating pictures when the article is
created, WikiTimeLine is controlled by the reader of the article, not the writer. So
everyone can put together their own timeline to see how things went in history. It also
allows ongoing events (that have not yet stopped) and alternative begin or end dates. I
think this would be a great extension for Wikiversity. Any interest in that?
greetings,Markus PS: Here are the links to the extension's webpages:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiTimeLine and

Markus, are you the author of the extension? If so, do you know of any potential issues
with its deployment on a wmf wiki? Has it been implemented on a wmf wiki? The more info we
can give to the devs in order to get it turned on, the better. Incidentally, I was
recently pointed to a site where you can test MW extensions in various configurations -
could be useful: <http://extensiontesting.wikiation.nl>
Cheers,
Cormac
