Community Suggestion: Add "months" to chronicles' default granularity options
Add "months" to chronicles' default granularity options
Currently, everything from minutes to epochs is available as default units of time in chronicles, except for weeks and months. For some worlds including one of mine (Where the entire history is spanned in less than 30 years) this makes all options of granularity either too small or too big.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
Adding months to the default unit of time options will allow chronicles that span small amounts of years to display properly, instead of having all of the entries cramped in a few pixels with lots of empty space on both sides. Adding weeks would also be useful, but I am not sure this is a span of time that can be configured in chronicles.
What are other uses for this feature request?
Months could be a useful span of time for chronicles of wars, expeditions, scientific investigations, short governments, and any other sort of story that spans just a couple of years.
The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! This is accepted for long-term implementation (it's quite hard to do, but it is planned).18/300 Votes · +4401 points

on 2026-07-04 02:29I would love this. Chronicles don't work the way I want them to without "months" as a useable unit. I'd even be willing to settle for a 1/12 of a year, 30 days, or 4 weeks as a unit of time. I need anything between a Year and a Day for the way I want to use Chronicles.

on 2026-06-30 14:13This is a word-for-word copy-paste of a request from four years ago, that was opened by a different person and closed by the WA team: https://www.worldanvil.com/community/voting/suggestion/a87c770a-cd4b-4d84-86b9-e454147416e0/view Clarification on the past response would be helpful, since the blog post referenced doesn't address potential month granularity, but plagiarizing a long-closed feature request is an odd way to get it.
