Has any language of Wikisource tried new methods to connect works or mentions regarding the same time?
The Swedish Wikisource has categories for works by decade (e.g. 1830s works), but that's all. And I think we could do more.
For a specific date or event, we may have mentions in history books as well as newspapers from that day. But how should these points best be linked together? Are categories really our best tool?
In the Italian Wikisource, we have Year categories and few templates we use in-text for anniversaries: the list is hand-made, you can read it in the Main Page ( http://it.wikisource.org).
Unfortunately, we don't have other tools regarding timelines (either categories or templates using categories).
