Talk:American descendants of Edward I of England

Listing individuals without showing how each descends from a famous monarch seems like rather a waste of time. They should at least be given links to their (existing or proposed) individual pages on the wiki so that someone might trace their descendancy.

Compiling a page like this would take an enormous amount of time, in finding this page and slotting people into the right places. Surely a much quicker way would be to create a category and let the software do the insertion and display? Then, in addition to grouping your thousands of potential list-members on a page automatically, the software would display the famous ancestor (as a category) on the page of each individual.

An even better idea (though not nearly as simple) could be to create a property, which could then be manipulated in more ways than a category can.
