Remaining quirks of timeline4

https://www.halopedia.org/User:CIA391/timeline4

I need to move the data entry up to the top for previous and next. This fixes the issue where if the previous goes into BCE territory it doesnt break.

Timeline rehaul

Phase 1: Ideas

Go over ideas on what I want for this rehaul.

Phase 2: Prep

Prep existing pages (source checked and so on)

Check these timelines for ref and updating our one better

Phase 3: Decades and other

Create Decade and Century Pages
Continue work on User:CIA391/Distant past.

Phase 4: Templates

Continue work on the templates below and push.

Phase 5: Safety Check

Once templates have been pushed. Make sure pages are sound and flow well.

Stuff to work on

1. Finish fixing up the current timeline. 2. Do work on making the info/nav/box work better. 3. Create decade and century pages. 4. Maybe create millennium pages. 5. Make main hub easy to understand plus have interesting stuff to draw the readers attention.

Current work that is here and there

Fixes needed before template can be used

Add a overwrite clause to avoid the following issues.
- Real world years

- Redirects = Fix remove the ones that are useless. Then add a "ignore caveat".
  - 7, 360, 343, 4096
Fix 1 to 9 adding a "0s" to the years and decades.
Lower decades to 1 next and 1 previous.
Automate decades
Add the ability to connect to the first BCE year automatically.
