Arcana Wiki Updates

The Arcana Wiki is growing very nicely indeed, so to my mind it was time to give it some more structure. For this reason, I have created a timeline, where you can browse through the different years, decades, and centuries of history similar to the equivalent pages on the Wikipedia. There are obviously still a lot of gaps in the timeline, but I have created some page templates which will help contributors when they want to add new pages covering these time units.

I expect the timeline to be used for three types of entries:

• Events: Historic events that happened in specific years.
• News: News articles published on specific dates that aren't connected to specific historic events. This could cover articles on technological or social changes, or other material useful for gaming.
• Fiction: Many classical works of fiction, television series, movies, and so forth have specific dates attached to events within these works. If these works of fiction represent material that can be useful for gaming, contributors can add related events into the timeline as well. In that case, they should add a separate entry for the work of fiction in question and link to it from the entry.

Other than those, there are also a couple of rather interesting new entries which I haven't mentioned before:

• Cargo Cults - one of the stranger religions to come out of the modern age.
• Ferret Legging - a sport where grown-up men put ferrets down their trousers.
• Icelandic Phallological Museum - exactly what it sounds like.

As usual, additional contributions are highly welcome.
