About edit

When a user queries Histropedia for a topic, Histropedia searches for events in that topic's history. It arranges those events on a timeline, creates icons with images from Wikimedia Commons, and presents an interface where the user can examine the timeline or choose to access more information on any topic in Wikipedia or Wikidata.
