EasyTimeline by Erik Zachte is an extension for

timelines with clickable links. WikiHiero by Guillaume 'Aoineko' Blanchard
is for rendering hieroglyphs. Both are now enabled on all Wikimedia wikis.
As per our earlier extension syntax vote, EasyTimeline uses the <timeline>
syntax, WikiHiero uses the <hiero> syntax.
You can read more about them here:

To my knowledge, MediaWiki is the only wiki software which supports such
functionality. It should make our wikis interesting even in the highest
academic circles.
Although EasyTimeline can generate SVG output, only PNG output is
currently supported. In the future, we hope to offer SVG as a user
preference.
Hey that is really neat! Could this be used to create a small, clickable
imagemap for use in maps? I would love to have something like that for the
image locater maps used in the element articles. See
http//:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen for an example. It wold also be great to
eventually marry that with a map generation feature to create clickable maps.
