About the data

This wiki is generated from the archive in WBSps.env (never modified) by timelines/run_all.sh. Do not hand-edit generated pages; they are rewritten on every run. Add your own pages with new names.

Database: timelines/wbs_timeline.db (SQLite) — see timelines/README.md for every table.
Data files: timelines/data/*.csv, timelines/data/timeline.json.
File history: every JSON about a file is stored in order in the blobs table / file_history view.
Per-file notes: every copied file has a .md note beside it with its year, origin and the dates found in it.

How dates are decided

Item	Source	Confidence
Job / serial number	first two digits	certain
Module / product	earliest dated document: title-block `DATE`, `MANUAL ISSUE`, ©, month + year	high / medium
No printed date	earliest job that references it	low
Undated variant	earliest dated sibling (M402 ← M402B)	family

PDF creation dates (2003–2018 scans) are never used as design dates.
