TimeView - Wikipedia Timeline & Figure Card Maker

Add a time slider and age perspective to Wikipedia.

TimeView adds a timeline and a people-focused view to Wikipedia. While you read an article, see the people linked from that page in the browser sidebar. Move through the years to compare their ages and life stages, and understand the era behind the story. Turn the people you are reading about into timeline images and figure cards, or create a video that moves through the years. Keep reading notes, bring a lesson to life, or share what you have discovered. Explore people on a Wikipedia timeline • Start with the article you are reading and see its linked people in the extension sidebar. • Drag the timeline or adjust the year range to see each person’s age and whether they were living, not yet born, or already deceased. • Color-coded cards visualize gender and life states, making it easy to follow the changes from not yet born to living and deceased as the year changes. • Click a figure card to open that person’s Wikipedia article and continue exploring their life and connections.
