Template:Familytree

Tool for family trees.

Text-only trees

{{familytree/start|sample tree}}
{{familytree|MOM|y|DAD|}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|}}
{{familytree/end}}

This gives:

{{{MOM}}}

{{{DAD}}}

{{{CH1}}}

{{{CH2}}}

Next, add names to the boxes like this:

{{familytree/start|sample tree}}
{{familytree|MOM|y|DAD|MOM=Tomoko (?)|DAD=Shiro Suzuki}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|CH1=[[Ayako Suzuki]]|CH2=[[Sonoko Suzuki]]}}
{{familytree/end}}

Giving:

Tomoko (?)

Shiro Suzuki

Ayako Suzuki

Sonoko Suzuki

And you can color the boxes:

{{familytree/start|sample tree}}
{{familytree|MOM|y|DAD|MOM=Tomoko (?)|DAD=Shiro Suzuki
|boxstyle_MOM=background-color: #FFDAE0;
|boxstyle_DAD=background-color: #D3EBFD;}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|CH1=[[Ayako Suzuki]]|CH2=[[Sonoko Suzuki]]
|boxstyle_CH1=background-color: #FFDAE0;
|boxstyle_CH2=background-color: #FFDAE0;}}
{{familytree/end}}

Giving:

Tomoko (?)

Shiro 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|sample tree}}
{{familytree|MOM|y|DAD|MOM={{familytree/Tomoko}}|DAD={{familytree/Shiro Suzuki}}}}
{{familytree| |,|-|^|-|.| |}}
{{familytree|CH1| |CH2|CH1={{familytree/Ayako Suzuki}}|CH2={{familytree/Sonoko Suzuki}}}}
{{familytree/end}}

Giving:

Template:Familytree/Tomoko
