If anyone’s interested in adding similar functionality to their own MediaWiki installation, you can use the ModernTimeline and SemanticMW extensions without the need for an AI to parse the pages for dates.
I was gonna say, really? AI to parse a timeline? Overkill
This might potentially be a worthwhile submission for the internet is beautiful comm :)
Just checked and the comm on .ee seems to be the only one really active
Neat, shame it doesn't work if you feed it a category link though.
Why read an actual article written by humans when you can turn it into more generative AI garbage instead? 🙄
I mean I also hate generative ai, but the answer is because you can reformat it into a new potentially more useful interface for a given usecase 😅
An article and an interactive timeline are different things, and having access to both is neat.
I'll probably stick to articles, at least in part because that works much better on mobile, but it's still nice to get a visualized timeline you can move through, one key event at a time
