Invitation banner
For spreading the use of the inline calls for history/chronology sources, this invitation banner can be left as a message at the talk_page of those Wikipedians who seem to care for the sourcing of dates, timelines and chronologies when editing or anyone who could make good use of these inline calls. Just place {{WikiProject Timeline Tracer Invitation}} as a message, followed by your signature. It will display
