I have an idea to create an infobox for the Ages of Arda. What do y'all think? For example, an infobox for the First Age would look like this:
==Date - DO NOT DELETE ==
{{#ifeq: {{#timel:z}} | 172 | |
{{#switch:{{#expr:({{#timel:z}}{{#ifexpr: {{#timel:z}} < 172 | +10 | {{#ifexpr: {{#timel:z}} < 356 | +9 | -355 }} | }})-{{#expr:trunc(({{#timel:z}}{{#ifexpr: {{#timel:z}} < 172 | +10 | {{#ifexpr: {{#timel:z}} < 356 | +9 | -355 }} | }})/7)}}*7}}
| 0  = Sterday
| 1  = Sunday
| 2  = Monday
| 3  = Trewsday
| 4  = Hevensday
| 5  = Merstag
| 6  = Highday
}}, }}
{{#switch: {{#timel:z}}

| 171 = 1 Lithe
| 172 = Mid-year's Day

==Reference thing==
It is unclear what the borders of [[Eriador]] were to the south; it is unknown whether the [[Greyflood]] or [[Lhûn|Lune]] rivers even existed in the First Age. Presumably the Greyflood followed the same route through Eriador to the lower end of the extended Blue Mountains - before reaching the sea somewhere to the west of the [[White Mountains]].<ref name="Atlas">[[Karen Wynn Fonstad]], ''[[The Atlas of Middle-earth]]'', revised edition</ref>{{rp|4}}
Central Eriador was scattered with many groups of hills including the [[Tower Hills]] (''Emyn Beraid''), [[Hills of Evendim]] (''Emyn Uial''), [[Weather Hills]] as well as the [[Far Downs]], [[White Downs]], [[South Downs]], [[North Downs]] and [[Barrow-downs]] (''Tyrn Gorthad''); [[Karen Wynn Fonstad|Fonstad]] noted that the "''longitudinal axes [of the hills] formed concentric rings''".<ref name="Atlas"/>{{rp|brackets|this thing should be in brackets}} Despite large deforestation by the [[Númenóreans]] during the [[Second Age]] some wooded areas remained, such as the [[Old Forest]], [[Woody End]], [[Bindbole Wood]] (sometimes seen as "Bindbale"), [[Chetwood]] around [[Bree-hill]], the [[Trollshaws]], and, largest of all, [[Eryn Vorn]]; [[Eregion|Hollin]] was so named due to the large numbers of holly trees which grew there.<ref name="Atlas"/> Other geographic features include [[Midgewater Marshes]], [[Rushock Bog]], and [[Overbourn Marshes]].
