[edit] MediaWiki Extension
There is now a MediaWiki extension available, called WikiTimeLine, which is using the WikiTimeScale grafic engine. The historic events or people are added with tags (just like HTML tags to the MediaWiki articles and afterwards can be displayed in an image as timelines by clicking onto their links. See the WikiTimeLine page at the MediaWiki website for more information.
