Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This family of templates can be used to create a properly structured and accessible tree. This can be used to display family trees, succession to thrones, etc. They comprise:

Syntax

Start and finish of the tree

The tree must include a start and finish, using the templates {{Tree list}} and {{Tree list/end}} respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisk *. 

{{Tree list}}
* Here goes the content of the tree using asterisks.
{{Tree list/end}}

The branches of the tree

Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists: 

{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

produces

  • A first level branch
    • A second level branch
      • A third level branch

Unlabelled branches

An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the {{Tree list/branching}} template. 

{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** The final third level branch
** A second level branch
** {{Tree list/branching}}                 <!--- This branch ends the second level --->
*** A third level branch
*** The final third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

produces the following:

  • A first level branch
      • A third level branch
      • Another third level branch
      • The final third level branch
    • A second level branch
      • A third level branch
      • The final third level branch

Collapse

To collapse a tree place {{Hidden begin}} before {{Tree list}} and enclose {{Tree list/end}} with {{Hidden end}}. {{Hidden begin}} default to just a show link on the right, but it takes a number of parameters see the template's documentation. In this case: 

|border=1px  #aaa solid — a solid border around the tree
|title=Demonstration tree — a suitable name for the tree
|ta1=center – center the title= name 

{{hidden begin|border=1px  #aaa solid|title=Demonstration tree|ta1=center}}
{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** The final third level branch
** A second level branch
** {{Tree list/branching}}                 <!--- This branch ends the second level --->
*** A third level branch
*** The final third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}
{{Hidden end}}
Demonstration tree
  • A first level branch
      • A third level branch
      • Another third level branch
      • The final third level branch
    • A second level branch
      • A third level branch
      • The final third level branch


If the parameter |expanded=on is added to {{hidden begin}} then the box will be drawn expanded rather than the default, which is to collapse the tree.

Examples

A family tree

Code : 

{{hidden begin|border=1px  #aaa solid|title=A family tree (descendants of Henry VII of England)|ta1=center|expanded=on}}
{{Tree list}}

{{Tree list/end}}
{{hidden end}}

which gives

A family tree (descendants of Henry VII of England)

An ancestry tree

Ahnentafel style trees can be can be displayed using this template, but usually for less than 6 generations the customised Ahnentafel templates are clearer (see Template:Ahnentafel/doc). There is also an ahnentafel template ({{Ahnentafel-tree}}), that is based on this one, that makes construction this tree simpler. 

{{hidden begin|border=1px  #aaa solid|title=Ancestry tree of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge|ta1=center|expanded=on}}

*[[Tetrapoda]]
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** Many extinct groups such as the ''[[Eucritta]]''
*** '''[[Lissamphibia]]''' Whose ancestors of the current amphibians
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** Many extinct groups reminiscent of amphibians with more or less pronounced reptilian characteristics such as [[Eoherpetontidae]], the [[Embolomeri]], the [[Tokosauridae]], [[Chroniosuchidae]], [[Gephyrostegidae]], [[Solenodonsauridae]], [[Seymouriamorpha]], [[Westlothiana]], [[Lepospondyli]]
*** [[Cotylosauria]]
**** [[Amniota]], Originally all "Reptilian"
**** Other extinct sibling taxa like [[Diadectomorpha]] or [[Tseajaiidae]] are close enough to reptiles

  • {{Ahnentafel}} — This template takes genealogical data in the form of an ahnentafel and presents it as a graphical ancestry tree
  • {{ahnentafel-tree}} uses {{Tree list}} and will handle up to an ahnentafel of 511 places (9 generations), but will also display as little as one generation.
