| 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. |
| | | -Taylor |
| *'''4305''' [[Chainer]] discovers the [[Mirari]].

| ==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>'''&lt;i&gt;'''''italic text'''''&lt;/i&gt;'''<nowiki>">card name</c></nowiki></tt><br/>''Note:'' <tt>'''&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;'''</tt> is a substitution for the HTML tag <tt>'''<i></i>'''</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.

| ==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)

| |
| :::They are also used in [[Magic Online]] since v.3, so imo that's not necessary. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 07:17, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| ::::I don't have Magic Online so I wouldn't know that. It needs to state somewhere where these symbols came from. --[[User:GeoMike|GeoMike]] 11:58, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

| ==Time formatting==
| |
| Hi, what about time formatting, and where to discuss? If it's ok here and you mean general time formatting in our articles, then I'd suggest to keep it consistent with mtg.com, since we have tons of references that already use this format ;) . It is also less ambiguous to Europeans compared to other (shorter) options. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 19:19, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| :Awesome, a response! :D Well, I am used to European time templating, DD MM YYYY. But, another thing is, my buddy from Germany, is the comma. Should we have DD[space]MM[comma][space]YYYY or DD[space]MM[space]YYYY? :) <small>'''[[User:Magic Mage|<sup>M</sup><sub>M</sub>]]''' '''<sup>([[User_talk:Magic_Mage|talk!]])</sup>'''</small> 02:34, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| ::Usually there are no commas in European dates, they are separated by full stops (e.g. "15.08.2008" in Germany) or by slashes (e.g. "15/08/2008" in Great Britain). But as I said, we should really stick to the format Wizards uses, i.e. '''"Friday, August 15, 2008"''' (German equivalent would be "Freitag, 15. August 2008"). [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 06:32, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| :::Oh s[bleep][bleep][bleep]... I remember taking your stance once upon a time. Yes, we outta keep with Wizards on this. Can you guys change it to that formatting, please? Sorry.
| |
| :::I would, but you know what's up. :-/
| |
| :::Thank you, oracle of truth for all you've done, all you're about to do, and all you'll do. I guess this shall be my last edit before the sui-block works and stays. :P

| ==Alacar Leoricar and licence issues==
| |
| Have you checked with him whether it's ok to post all his stuff here? Remember that everything is made available under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 licence (at least nominally), obviously excluding the copyrighted stuff from Wizards (actually we really ''really'' have to mark all that material someday). Even if we forget about this a moment, he might not be comfortable with it. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 06:40, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

| |
| ::::Um, why would you ''link'' to a template? Inclusion works by using these braces: "{{" and "}}", to close.

| |
| | |
| == Thanks for the Message ==
| |
| | |
| I see there's some discussion about copyright above. Is that why there isn't a page for every card? I can fairly easily knock together a program to create a magiccards.info-style page for each card and keep it up to date (although I don't have scans) if you like ... [[User:Bakert|Bakert]] 18:28, 17 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| :That's not really an issue, at least for now. Duplicating magiccards.info is sort of pointless since both that site and this wiki are owned and hosted by [[Hannes]]. And as I [[Help talk:Card tags|said before]], currently there is a consensus not to this. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 20:55, 17 August 2008 (EDT)
