Note: This thread was proposed by Twiddler.

It's a Just for Fun page (for listing fictional events from any works in one combined timeline), but it's in Main/.

Note that it is split into many subpages due to length, which are under the namespace GrandUnifiedTimeline/. There's also a Laconic subpage.

I propose the main page (Grand Unified Timeline) be moved to the Just for Fun namespace, as well as the subpages (minus Laconic), following the pattern: GrandUnifiedTimeline.Foo to JustForFun.Grand Unified Timeline Foo

Additionally, for pages that spell out numbers in their titles, I propose they be moved to their numeral versions (E.g. GrandUnifiedTimeline.The Twenty Second Century to JustForFun.Grand Unified Timeline The22nd Century), except the ones for the First/Second Industrial Revolution.

Complete list of suggested moves/renames:

Not sure if Laconic.Grand Unified Timeline would need to be cut, as I am unsure whether Laconic pages are an exception to the rule about Just for Fun pages not getting subpages.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

I agree with moving this to Just for Fun since it's a game and not a trope, since other games like Better Than It Sounds, Worse Than It Sounds, and Pitch the Work are Just for Fun (though the first two aren't in the main Just for Fun namespace, they're still indexed as Just for Fun).

This is Just for Fun in everything but the namespace, so it should be moved.

I wanted to note that this was proposed as JFF. It probably just got namespaced wrong—or was around before namespaces.

[tup] Move to JFF.

[up][up][up]Considering the draft is from 2010 and Septimus mentioned somewhere else on the forums (I think the Observations thread on Yack Fest) that the namespacing of things other than tropes, YMMV, and Trivia started around 2011, I'd imagine it's a case of the namespace not existing at the time.

13 JFF votes so far (counting the OP), and only 41 wicks. Enough to waive the Three-Day Rule?

[up][up][up]No. It's above the Not Thriving range, oddly enough.

Didn't know this existed before, but it looks like it has potential as JFF.

The Grand Unified Timeline is already listed in the JFF index. The problem seems to be the subpages.

We're talking about moving it from Main.Grand Unified Timeline to JustForFun.Grand Unified Timeline, not just the index. smile
