Template:Yearlist
.svg){kind=link}
The {{yearlist}} template is used in articles about a particular year (such as 3136). It shows the four proceeding years, the four following years, and automatically indicates to which era the current year belongs. When there is no formally-named era for the particular year the template will display TIMELINE.
The template should be placed at the top of the article.
Basic Usage

Example
When placed in the article about 3136, the template will display:

How are eras determined?
The starting and ending dates are taken from the BattleTech eras entry. Discussions about changing the dates should be made on the BattleTech eras' talk page.
