I think it would be a great idea - and collaborative undertaking - to have on the main page a bit of trivia stated what happened on this day in AC's version of history. I've jotted down notes here. Do others like the idea? --Alientraveller (talk) 10:45, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

I think it's a great idea. However, what if there's a day for which we don't have an AC event? --Crimson Knight _Intercom 11:37, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Let's see if how much of the 366 days we can fill up, and then we could consider articles for months or have the template only pop up on certain days. --Alientraveller (talk) 21:12, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

I've seen the AC Initiates twitter page doing something similar. Soooo, are other users free to add dates to your sandbox? Crook ^{The Constantine District} 11:43, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Yes of course, always. --Alientraveller (talk) 11:50, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

I think this is a great idea, and would gladly help you out with setting it up; I'm implementing dates into the timeline anyway. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 16:23, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

I also support this! If my help is needed in any way, feel free to leave a message on my talk page! :) Nesty ^{Contact me!} 17:31, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

You have my sword! Ehm...my support. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 20:55, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Some nice July, August and November dates in my recent edit on the Timeline page; easyy pickings. Let's see if there's something for February 29... -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 21:27, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Oooh, this looks fun! Man if all the times for Initiates to go offline. Still, I think we can pull it together well enough. -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 03:33, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Might I suggest some form of sourcing though? Notes that simply link to the associated source? -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 18:34, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

Definitely, I'll add 'Read more' links to the relevant memories or files. --Alientraveller (talk) 21:11, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

I was thinking we could do something similar to our current sourcing too, but without the reference list. Like this: ^[1] -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 19:39, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

I think this would be awesome; a bit of trivia every day! I also agree with Master Yi's suggestion about references. OutrightUndead (talk) 04:32, August 31, 2014 (UTC)
