Forum:Subpages for tree and sensor

Good to see progress on making all of this stuff user-friendly.

Creating tree subpage
The advice we see when clicking on a button that promises to produce a tab to take us to a tree subpage (Create tab:Ancestor tree} is encouraging. I hope it starts working soon.

One is told "To finish creating the Family tree page, press the save button. After this step you will have to press the Update Sensor button for the tree tab to appear.". One presses the save button, and maybe a page such as Mary McGregor (1752-1838)/tree appears. Hmmm. One finds one's way back to the edit screen for the person article, with no tab showing. Clicking on the only button that seems to do anything to the sensor page (Update/Create Sensor page) may produce a message like this:

Error: No page was found at Mary McGregor (1752-1838)/sensor.

No advice about what to do next. There is still no tab leading from her page to her tree.

Format of tree subpage
Needs tweaking? See Jane Means Appleton (1806-1863)/tree, which at present (for me on Firefox 3):
 * has Jane's details in a panel that covers about 80% of the page width; a trifle unbalanced, but maybe it shrinks somehow when more generations have details?
 * doesn't show her mother's mother Mary McGregor (1752-1838), although she and the relevant daughter Elizabeth Means (c1776) both have links going where they should.
