Looks pretty slick.

I deliberately taunted the Lines box, and was glad to see that "10" produced exactly 10 entries, "5" produced five, "1" produced one. But "0" produced (right now, likely different tomorrow) 8019 entries. I was even more amazed that the timeline still worked with every entry ever made to the fossil repo. I do wonder what that would look like on some of the infamous really really big repos...

Perhaps there should be a sanity check around 0 and "too big" values? But I'm not sure how big is too big.

I'm not sure that "lines" is the right word for that. Perhaps "entries" or "items"?

I like the proposed rename of "event" to "tech note". One thing I've often wanted is the ability to create an event from the timeline rather than having to remember that events are a special kind of wiki page, yet not actually a wiki page. They are created from a link on /wiki, but do not appear in the list of all wiki pages shown by /wcontent, and as far as I can tell are only discoverable from entries shown on /timeline. Perhaps there should be a "new event" (or "new tech note" if that is the new term) button in the timeline submenu that takes you to /eventedit.
