I really like what you've achieved and this should be replicated at other year articles. In many ways, prose fills out the picture a lot better for me than a list does. The list timeline has other advantages: a lot of easily-accessible information and as a navigation aid.
I think many year articles are linked to for the benefits the timeline provides, particularly as navigation aid. At the same time, we have a strong preference to prose articles, relegating lists to disambiguated and clarified names ("List of X", "X timeline", &c.). How would we balance that [[1345]], and year articles more generally, are mainly linked to for the purposes of navigation and instant broad information, while giving our normal preference to prose?

Some time ago, we discussed the various articles on years, which are invariably bald timelines of births, deaths and events; the possibility of fleshing them out into prose was tossed around.
I've just been told someone finally did one of them :-)
