Timeline summary

This is a timeline of the 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.

Here is a selection of a few significant events:

• -25,000 Around this time the Elder Dragons, who had ruled Dominaria for ages, were engaged in the Dragon War.

• -4838 Yawgmoth born.

• 0 Urza and Mishra are born.

• 27-28 A new peace conference in Kroog also ends disastrously and is the official beginning of the Brothers' War.

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

• 450 The beginning of the Ice Age of Dominaria.

• 2934 Freyalise completes the World Spell.

Purge

*Purging the cache: Sometimes you'll want to purge the cache of a page. Follow the following steps:

1. Click on edit

2. In the url replace action=edit with action=purge

3. Profit [1]
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 <c title="&lt;i&gt;italic text&lt;/i&gt;">card name</c>
Note: &lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is a substitution for the HTML tag <i></i>.

Some tips; you can use # to make an ordered list, and * to make a bulleted list. "<BR>" 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. ^M_M ^(talk!) 08:12, 4 April 2008 (BST)

Afaik Ctrl + F5 bypasses the browser cache, I was referring to the server-side cache. Oracle of Truth 12:45, 4 April 2008 (BST)

Askref template

Great job on the new template - thanks for your hard work :) --GeoMike 00:56, 20 April 2008 (BST)

I unprotected the template page. --GeoMike 00:57, 20 April 2008 (BST)

You're welcome, and thx! :) Oracle of Truth 01:00, 20 April 2008 (BST)

Re: Edit to 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. =) ^M_M ^(talk!) 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 What links here, is Vintage Control Slaver deck... ^M_M ^(talk!) 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. Oracle of Truth 09:47, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
