This is a '''timeline''' of the [[:Category:Storylines|Magic: The Gathering storyline]]. It is an unofficial document, but all information on it is taken from official canon sources. All stories that could be dated, or could not be dated but could be placed at some point in the timeline because of their connection to other stories, have been incorporated.

Well, first things first! I forgot to mention that these curves follow the principles of sligh!
I have a long past with simulations and generaly reside in phyrexia.com where I post quite frequently about the discoveries on manacurves I make with my simulations. It's pretty advanced stuff though.


Here is a selection of a few significant events:
Since you have a background with simulations we might even strike a deal one day. I have been searching for a long time for someone to duplicate my simulations which actually involve a lot of troubles because of my personal background.


*'''-25,000''' Around this time the [[Elder Dragons]], who had ruled [[Dominaria]] for ages, were engaged in the [[Dragon War]].
I'll pop away to see if I can find a link to some of my "works"


*'''-4838''' [[Yawgmoth]] born.
WICKEDDARKMAN


*'''0''' [[Urza]] and [[Mishra]] are born.
No really good link anywhere! Just a lot of posts that are losely interlinked.
Are you interrested in working on a sim though?


*'''27-28''' A new peace conference in Kroog also ends disastrously and is the official beginning of the [[Brothers' War]].
MORT will be able to tell you a bit about me!


*'''64''' The final battle of the Brothers' War takes place.


*'''450''' The beginning of the Ice Age of Dominaria.

I have only edited the wiki one other time in my life, and that was to change parts of my OWN wiki page that were wrong.(and then Magic Mage IP banned me for doing it) I know nothing about what 'style' the wiki should be in.


*'''2934''' Freyalise completes the [[World Spell]].
I was TRYING, on this thread, to get someone that DID know more about the 'style' the wiki should be in to update that page, with more information. I left the part already there. I feel that what MORT said in post #5 of this thread should be added to the wiki page. I don't care about the 'style' in which those extra facts are added, only that they are.


*'''3285''' The [[Tolarian Academy]] is founded.
MORT pointed out that the 'style' I used was 'wrong,' and I tried editing it, but I don't really know anything about writing MtGS Wiki pages in 'the proper style.' Lets face it, 'style' is a VERY subjective thing anyway, and I don't 'get it' right now.


*'''3730''' [[Konda]]'s crime leads to the [[Kami War]].


*'''4205''' The [[Phyrexian Invasion]] starts.
I will request that someone that DOES know about how to update the wiki page 'the proper way' do it, with the extra information. Since the current information is misleading to the point of being wrong.

==Purge==
*'''Purging the cache:''' Sometimes you'll want to purge the cache of a page. Follow the following steps:<br/>
1. Click on edit<br/>
2. In the url replace <tt>action='''edit'''</tt> with <tt>action='''purge'''</tt><br/>
3. Profit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_park]<br/>''Note:'' Images along with any thumbs can be purged by doing a purge on the description page. This was recently necessary since pngs were sometimes rendered incorrectly before the update.
*'''Italics in card tag:''' Use <tt><nowiki><c title="</nowiki>'''&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;'''''italic text'''''&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;'''<nowiki>">card name</c></nowiki></tt><br/>''Note:'' <tt>'''&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;'''</tt> is a substitution for the HTML tag <tt>'''&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;'''</tt>.
 
Some tips; you can use # to make an ordered list, and * to make a bulleted list. "<nowiki><BR></nowiki>" should be used where necessary, and sparingly. You can always press [Enter] twice, I believe for a 'line/paragraph break thing'.
 
With purging a page, one may wish to 'hard refresh' (e.g. "Ctrl" + "F5"); it's more or less the same thing, but it does away with the click "edit this page" and change the action parameter from "edit" to "purge".
 
Anyway, keep up the good work, Oracle of Truth. <small>'''[[User:Magic Mage|<sup>M</sup><sub>M</sub>]]''' '''<sup>([[User_talk:Magic_Mage|talk!]])</sup>'''</small> 08:12, 4 April 2008 (BST)

==Re: Edit to [http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Magic_Mage&oldid=48626 User talk: Magic Mage]==
My apologies with not replying sooner. I've been, well, neither here nor on the forums; but, at least I've popped in today (despite circumstances, illness, etc.). =p
 
It looks like GeoMike's already unprotected my beloved babe of a page (that I can no longer locate, part of having lost my way here). As for the template, thanks! It'll come in handy, as I'm sure it is now.
 
Thanks for your updates to the template page, by the way. =) <small>'''[[User:Magic Mage|<sup>M</sup><sub>M</sub>]]''' '''<sup>([[User_talk:Magic_Mage|talk!]])</sup>'''</small> 15:57, 25 April 2008 (BST)

==SCGref template==
... thanks... but, I think there should be more reason to use the template than for... at most one page [at the moment]; that page, found by using [[:Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:SCGref|What links here]], is [[Vintage Control Slaver deck]]... <small>'''[[User:Magic Mage|<sup>M</sup><sub>M</sub>]]''' '''<sup>([[User_talk:Magic_Mage|talk!]])</sup>'''</small> 05:42, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
:I hoped that it would be used for deck descriptions, since SCG.com is a good resource for this kind of information. Unfortunately no one seems to be working on them. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 09:47, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
 
==cosmology==
Hi. Some time ago I started a Cosmology category in Polish. Now I implemented it in English, and will translate some additional articles connected with this topic. Please take a closer look to them, I'm sure I've made some (if not many) mistakes. Especially: [[cosmology]] and [[time streams]] (coming soon; [[User talk:MORT/translations/workbook|here]] you can see the progress). Thanks for all help. --<span style="color:#FF0000">[[User:MORT|<sup><sup>M</sup></sup><sup>O</sup>R<sub>T</sub>]]</span> <sup><b>[[User talk: MORT|(T)]]</b></sup> 22:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Where did those symbols come from?  --[[User:GeoMike|GeoMike]] 23:03, 5 August 2008 (EDT)
