Wiki embeds

The wiki’s Index Block has three timeline sources you can embed on any wiki page:

  • Timeline events in world — recent or filtered events, with optional filters by layer, type, tag, and importance.
  • Timeline events for entity — every event linked to a specific entity (the entity slug or UUID, picked at insert time).
  • World cycles — current phase of every cycle in the world, with the next phase per card.

Embeds are read-only on the wiki page; clicking through opens the relevant view in the timeline workspace.

Inserting an embed

Section titled “Inserting an embed”

  1. Open the wiki page in edit mode.

  2. Type / to open the block menu and choose Index.

  3. The block shows Choose what to index — a card for every available source. Pick one of the three timeline sources (Timeline events in world, Timeline events for entity, World cycles).

  4. Fill in the optional / required settings (e.g. the entity for “Timeline events for entity”).

  5. Save the page.

“Timeline events in world”

Section titled ““Timeline events in world””

A general-purpose list of recent events for the current world. Useful for landing pages or “current state” pages.

Optional params:

  • Layer (slug) — filter to one layer (e.g. history, prophecy, agenda, or any custom slug).
  • Event type — filter to one event type (battle, treaty, etc.).
  • Tag — filter to events tagged with a specific tag.
  • Min importance — 0–5. Set to 4 to show only major events.

Default sort: chronological (earliest first). Layout options: list, card, grid.

Click-through: opens the workspace with the clicked event focused.

“Timeline events for entity”

Section titled ““Timeline events for entity””

A focused list of events involving a single entity. Designed to be embedded on the entity’s wiki page (when the entity has one).

Required params:

  • Entity slug or id — either the entity’s slug (e.g. king-aldren) or its UUID.

It shows every event tied to that entity — both events authored directly on it and events linked to it — the same set you’d see on the entity’s own Timeline tab, but inline on the wiki page.

“World cycles”

Section titled ““World cycles””

A card per active world cycle, showing each cycle’s current phase icon + name. Useful for “current state” landing pages or seasonal-themed pages.

Optional params:

  • Cycle kind — filter to one kind (moon, tide, season, festival).

Default layout: card grid. Click-through: opens the Cycles tab in the workspace.

Visibility

Section titled “Visibility”

Embeds always follow the player-safe rules — they leave out GM only events, even on a GM’s own wiki view. This is deliberate: embeds are designed to be drop-in safe on player-shareable pages.

If you want the full GM view of timeline events on a page, link out to the workspace instead of embedding (the workspace respects GM access naturally).

Live updates

Section titled “Live updates”

When you create, edit, or delete a timeline event in the workspace, embeds on already-open wiki pages update on their own, without you reloading. Same for calendar and cycle changes.
