Talk:Wigton Walkers

Mary Ann Hubbell has been working on her Samuel Walker the Orphan and made a good suggestion. We have a "Child List" as part of the template. Mary Ann added a "Descendancy" item which can show a standard chart spanning several generations. This has a couple of advantages---first its a convenient way to get a fix on the family. Second, the Child list needs to follow a rather standard format since those are the titles of future articles---needs to be kept rather compact---as in First Last (DOB-DOD) and if needful, a byname. So there's not much detail that should be provide din the child list. The idea was that when you got to the article on the child there'd be plenty of room there for the details.---yet it might be handy to have some of that on the parents page as well. The solution is to put the detailed informaiton if you wish in the Descendancy section. Check out Mary Ann's Samuel the Orphan Page to see how she did it. Samuel Walker (? - ?) "The Orphan"...we may want to make this part of the standard template. If its not used in an actual article, it can always be jettisoned there. Bill, 23 August, 2006 2:17PM
