Hi everyone,
Something I've been looking for, and eventually realized doesn't exist, is a simple timeline of technology on Wikimedia wikis. I think it'd be very useful to have a simple list, to give editors a chance to understand how the wikis have developed over the years.
I've started one here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Johan_(WMF)/Timeline
If you think the format works, feel free to add things you're familiar with.

As with many things in the Wikiverse, the problem is rarely that something doesn't exist, but that we have multiple (outdated) versions of it :)

Nice to see this being useful!
In addition, see also: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_timeline * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Site_operations_timeline
which I started putting together a few years ago as part of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikipediaTimeline.png . Some day™ I'll make an updated version, but in the meantime help is certainly welcome to curate the timeline content.
