''Link'' - this field is only used for time intervals. By default the visible text of the time interval is the link to the corresponding Wikipedia page. If you want the link to be different from the visible text, specify the actual link in this field. If you want to link to a page outside of Wikipedia, use the full link (which starts with http or https). If you don't want the text to be a link at all, put a hyphen in the ''Link'' field. The text in this case will become grey instead of white and will not be clickable.

''Custom dates'' - by default every time interval has a range of years specified under its title.
[[File:Rebel.png]]
Those years are automatically taken from the ''Start date'' and ''End date'' fields.
<code>Jean-Féry Rebel;;;;04.18.1666;01.02.1747;</code>
But what if you want to provide more detail. For example, sometimes you want to have something like this:
[[File:CharlesDolle.png]]
That’s what the ''Custom dates'' field is for. Simply specify whatever you want to see in the second line there.
<code>Charles Dollé;;(fl. 1735–1755\; d. after 1755);;1735;1755;</code>
Note, that you still have to specify dates in the ''Start date'' and ''End date'' field, because they actually tell the program how to draw the time interval on the Timeline.


''Comment'' - this field is only used for time intervals. If you put some text in it (for example: <code><nowiki>some time interval;;;this is a comment with a [[Hannibal|link]];1978;1982;</nowiki></code>), the plus button will appear on the time interval:
