Created by [[Archive.org:20060324154452/http://www.WikiTimeScale.com/index.php?page=LegalNotice|Markus Szumovski]] of Enzesfeld, {{tag|Austria}}, WikiTimeScale was not using any tables, or some kind of [[:Category:HTML|HTML]] / [[:Category:XML|XML]] tags to display the events, but was instead creating images which were much more compact, can be fitted to any screen width, and can even be saved on the hard-disc, for a presentation or for another homepage. The events were displayed as timelines in the graphic, and there was a date-reference line at the top and bottom of the graphic. The system was interactive, so nobody was bound to any date or time-period. The [[user]] was able to watch only a few days in history, as well as several thousand years. | Created by [[Archive.org:20060324154452/http://www.WikiTimeScale.com/index.php?page=LegalNotice|Markus Szumovski]] of Enzesfeld, {{tag|Austria}}, WikiTimeScale was not using any tables, or some kind of [[:Category:HTML|HTML]] / [[:Category:XML|XML]] tags to display the events, but was instead creating images which were much more compact, can be fitted to any screen width, and can even be saved on the hard-disc, for a presentation or for another homepage.

It had many new features, including a [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedian]]-like URL reference. For example, the link http://www.WikiTimeScale.org/wiki/Imperium_Romanum will directly link to the Roman Empire entry. The engine was open source, and could be used and changed by anyone (under the terms of the {{tag|GNU General Public License}}). Since WikiTimeScale TwoZero, there was also an easy setup wizard (the page setup.php in the unzipped source-code directory) to install the WikiTimeScale engine on your web server. | ||
