A larger atlas, and the first Investigate
- Timeline
- Map
- Investigate
- Data and accuracy
The atlas nearly doubles, every entry opens the right article, and you can ask any entry why it happened.
- An event now needs an article in 8 Wikipedia language editions to be admitted, down from 20. The atlas grows from about 8,400 to about 15,000 entries, and Europe’s share falls from 54% to 49%, with East Asia and the Middle East gaining ground.
- The importance floor, which thins the plot by how many Wikipedias cover a row, is now yours to set: type a number to pin it, press “auto” to hand it back, and both travel in the link.
- Fixed: about one entry in five opened the wrong Wikipedia article. “Siege of Carthage” opened a disambiguation page, “Georgia” the US state and “Seneca” a people; each entry now opens the article its Wikidata item links to.
- An entry with no English Wikipedia article now says so plainly.
- Fixed: trade routes crossing the Pacific are no longer drawn across Eurasia.
- Fixed: a battle is no longer nested under a campaign it cannot belong to, such as the Battle of Kulikovo (1380) under the Mongol invasion of 1237–1240.
- The first version of Investigate: ask why an entry happened, or for a state why it began and why it ended, and see its causes ranked by the kind of evidence behind them, beside the situation beforehand (rulers who had just died, wars under way, earlier unrest), each saying what it searched when it finds nothing.
