Event Timeline

Looks like it was a bad character escaping issue, and the fact that parentheses weren't part of the escaped characters list. I've replaced the mediocre escaping method with a better (and probably overkill one) at 91d736da. I would deploy this now, but it seems like Toolforge Build Service had other plans (T373243). Will deploy whenever able.

Thanks for reporting this issue! :D
