General Timeline

Due to the quantity of information, the General Timeline had to be split in several articles. The current "General Timeline"-articles are linked below:

Welcome to the General Timeline. It is primarily intended as a source for editors. Here, all updates and events will be posted. Date, description and source, with a link if possible, must be provided. Timeline sections in any other articles (such as the SN articles) should only refer to the Gerneral Timeline.

Events and activities are assigned to the days according to local time.

The General Timeline should be kept in a manner that it is search-friendly (CTRL+F).
