Template:Familytree
Tool for family trees.
Text-only trees
{{familytree/start|summary=Ayako and Sonoko Suzuki are the daughters of Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki.}}
{{familytree|DAD|y|MOM|}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|}}
{{familytree/end}}
This gives:
| {{{DAD}}} | {{{MOM}}} | ||||||||||||||
| {{{CH1}}} | {{{CH2}}} | ||||||||||||||
The "summary=" parameter of the family tree template should be used to describe the overall layout of the tree. This summary is for accessibility: it is read aloud to visually impaired readers who use screen readers, and is invisible to sighted readers.
Next, add names to the boxes like this:
{{familytree/start|summary=Ayako and Sonoko Suzuki are the daughters of Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki.}}
{{familytree|DAD|y|MOM|DAD=Shiro Suzuki|MOM=Tomoko Suzuki}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|CH1=[[Ayako Suzuki]]|CH2=[[Sonoko Suzuki]]}}
{{familytree/end}}
Giving:
| Shiro Suzuki | Tomoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
| Ayako Suzuki | Sonoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
And you can color the boxes:
{{familytree/start|summary=Ayako and Sonoko Suzuki are the daughters of Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki.}}
{{familytree|DAD|y|MOM|DAD=Shiro Suzuki|MOM=Tomoko Suzuki
|boxstyle_DAD=background-color: #D3EBFD;
|boxstyle_MOM=background-color: #FFDAE0;}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|CH1=[[Ayako Suzuki]]|CH2=[[Sonoko Suzuki]]
|boxstyle_CH1=background-color: #FFDAE0;
|boxstyle_CH2=background-color: #FFDAE0;}}
{{familytree/end}}
Giving:
| Shiro Suzuki | Tomoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
| Ayako Suzuki | Sonoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
Adding images
In order to have images on a family tree, characters must have a family tree template created for themselves. See Template:Familytree/Sonoko Suzuki for an example. To use the templates, write the template name where you'd normally just write the character name when using the text-only template.
Example:
{{familytree/start|summary=Ayako and Sonoko Suzuki are the daughters of Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki.}}
{{familytree|DAD|y|MOM|DAD={{familytree/Shiro Suzuki}}|MOM={{familytree/Tomoko Suzuki}}}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|CH1={{familytree/Ayako Suzuki}}|CH2={{familytree/Sonoko Suzuki}}}}
{{familytree/end}}
Giving:
| Shiro Suzuki | Tomoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
|
Ayako Tomizawa née Suzuki | Sonoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
These boxes can also be colored:
{{familytree/start|summary=Ayako and Sonoko Suzuki are the daughters of Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki.}}
{{familytree|DAD|y|MOM|DAD={{familytree/Shiro Suzuki}}|MOM={{familytree/Tomoko Suzuki}}
|boxstyle_DAD=background-color: #D3EBFD;
|boxstyle_MOM=background-color: #FFDAE0;}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|CH1={{familytree/Ayako Suzuki}}|CH2={{familytree/Sonoko Suzuki}}
|boxstyle_CH1=background-color: #FFDAE0;
|boxstyle_CH2=background-color: #FFDAE0;}}
{{familytree/end}}
Giving:
| Shiro Suzuki | Tomoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
|
Ayako Tomizawa née Suzuki | Sonoko Suzuki | ||||||||||||||
