Adding an event to the timeline
It will sometimes be necessary to make a value judgement into which column something will fit. If that column is already "full", then another row can be added.
The columns will remain the same width, and any long text will wrap onto extra lines automatically. It will also be vertically aligned.
Please keep the text as short as possible - if you feel that more information is needed, it is usually possible to add a hyperlink to a website such as Wikipedia!!
If there is a relevant page elsewhere in The Wiki, please use an internal link.
