| Note the capitalization of only the first word in this list (but words that are normally capitalized would still be capitalized). This applies regardless of the separator used between the list type and the entries themselves—whether it is a comma or an infobox divider. | | Note the capitalization of only the first word in this list (but words that are normally capitalized would still be capitalized).

| For lists of dated events, or timelines, use one instance of {{Tl|Timeline-event}} per event, thus:
| |
|
| |
| <pre>
| |
| * {{Timeline-event|date={{Start date|1904|11|18|df=y}}|event=A thing happened}}
| |
| * {{Timeline-event|date={{Start date|1905}}|event=Not much happened}}
| |
| * {{Timeline-event|date={{Start date|1906|01|21}}|event=Something else happened}}
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
| to render as:
| |
| * {{Timeline-event|date={{Start date|1904|11|18|df=y}}|event=A thing happened}}
| |
| * {{Timeline-event|date={{Start date|1905}}|event=Not much happened}}
| |
| * {{Timeline-event|date={{Start date|1906|01|21}}|event=Something else happened}}
| |
|
| |
| (note optional <code>df=y</code> (date first) parameter – date formatting should be consistent within individual articles).
| |
|
| |
| Chronological lists, such as timelines, should be in earliest-to-latest chronological order. See {{section link|Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists|Chronological ordering}}.
