Timeline

The timeline displays either everything time-bound or is a display format for a specific component, like Events. If there is only one timeline per page, there must be elaborate settings to configure what is shown on the timeline.

There are different sketches for timelines for different purposes. Can they be merged or should they be kept apart? Which ones could be made similar?
