This template has been designed so that it can be used both in articles that adopt the BC/AD date notation and those that adopt the BCE/CE date notation without forcing some articles to have inconsistent style. It will display BCE/CE notation unless the template gives the parameter BC a value.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Timelines of Chinese history | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Timelines of Chinese history | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Graphical timeline templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page.
