Bigger timeline?

Wow, this thing looks nice :-) Thanks a lot.

However, looking at "2,400 million years ago", it does feel a little cramped. Many labels collapse to one letter. So, what do you think of rotating the whole thing by 90°? A vertical timescale could show much more detail. Like what they have in the box on the right on Neogene.

Think about it, I would be delighted if you could do that. --84.130.75.206 (talk) 13:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Error in the 'When' section: "before Earth was formed" is reported even when the timeline is at a few mya. 74.140.212.152 (talk) 22:37, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having a similar problem. The "When" section is malfunctioning. It seems to be set to calculate mya as bya--71.232.117.129 (talk) 19:31, 8 April 2011 (UTC) iwa--31.200.175.207 (talk) 21:48, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth timeline

Thanks a lot for this tool. I'm linking to it as much as possible using the {{Mya}} template. A proposal: In the context of human evolution, various fossils range from about 2 mya to present. So a fourth timeline for the Pliocene and Pleistocene (or possibly the Neogene) periods would be helpful. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 15:54, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ranges and the text "when" output

I've noticed that when given a range, this template can produce erroneous output in the "When" verbal description. For example, the article Geomagnetic reversal includes the following template reference: {{mya|120|83}}. In expanded form, it looks like this: 01:20, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
