Guidelines
{{Vital article count|51}}
For every era, we come up with one global, and one regional (for continent) eras. If a person matches a local era, then they'll go there, even if it's outside the bounds of the global era. However, if we can't find their regional era, then they'll go within the bounds of the global era. The global and local eras will have the same colors. Here are the eras:
Within these eras, in the individual timelines (unlike the overview, which could be broader) we can also break each era down into periods and color them slightly differently, blending in both the current era and the era that its closest to. The eras / periods may slightly differ depending on things like location and profession.
Here are the color codes for the overview, which should be more specific within individual timelines, and a person spanning across two eras will be colored in between these two eras. These are the colors which are (for the most part) currently in the timeline sandbox.
:Prehistory: black
:Ancient: brown
:Post - classical history: gold
:Early modern: blue
:Middle modern: green
:Late modern: yellow
:Long nineteenth: dark pink
:Early 19th century: orange
:Contemporary: bright pink
:Some example of transitional color eras:
:Code for Postclassical: PCH
:Code for Renaissance: Ren
:Transren: colored exactly in between ren and PC
:mostlyren: colored between Ren and transren
:lateren: colored between Ren and mostlyren
:(the same will work for the rest of the eras for the most part)
