Right now the Timeline shows all edits by both users on pages where both users have made 1+ edit, regardless of the edit date. Given that Wikipedia is 17+ years old, there are a lot of "two ships passing in the night" edits that may take up space on the Timeline, especially on popular pages (e.g. Village Pump)
There are a few ways we can think about this:
* **Hiding potential clutter**
** Allow users to hide a specific page from the Timeline (e.g. Village Pump)
** Allow users to only see edits in the same sections on talk pages
* **Edits within a certain date range**
** Allow users to manually set a smaller date range (e.g. include edits from January 1, 2007 to July 10, 2007, but only display edits from June 1, 2007 to July 10, 2007)
** Allow users to toggle if the date range for edits shown on the Timeline UI should also define the "pages where both users edit" (e.g. include and display edits from August 1, 2008 to August 15, 2008)
* **Set a timeout**
** Do not include pages where the length between edits is 365 days
** Give users a toggle to set this number — all time / year / month / week
