Links from one timeline event to another do not render on the timeline

Links from the text of an era or timeline event, to other timelines and/or timeline events, do not render when viewing the timeline, instead showing the raw [timeline] or [history] tags. Other links, such as to characters, locations, and items, work perfectly well.

The same timeline and timeline event links that don't render when viewing the timeline do render when viewing the timeline event as a tooltip blurb or article, as well as in the sidebar editor view when editing the timeline, so the issue seems confined to the overall timeline view.

Tested in Chrome just to be sure it wasn't a strange Firefox issue; it happens in both.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create two timelines, timelineA and timelineB
  2. Create two events, eventA and eventB, in timeline A
  3. In the text of eventA, create a link to eventB and a separate link to @timelineB
  4. Look at the timeline view for timelineA. The links do not render correctly, and show raw BBCode instead.
