Content is represented in blocks that are called modules. Main content on the site is presented in topic pages, which consist of content modules.

Structure of a content module

Toolbar

Title
Buttons (from the right for ltr, rtl support still not in place)
- Expand (always rightmost)
- Add
- Actions
- Settings
- Basemap
- Tasks / Games
- Filter/facet
- Search (always leftmost)

Content

Continuous image mat used in the images section
Content blocks used in the gallery
Horizontal scrolling for timelines and galleries
Timeline + map + gallery combo needs a novel layout to fit everything in the viewport

Different types of modules

Useful topic-related modules

The variety of Wikipedia templates could give good ideas for this.

Time series (historical era, ruler) precedent, antecedent
Series () previous, next
Sports stats, game results etc.
