Okay, this should be its own discussion. Subpages.
Existing subpages
Existing subpages I have seen:
- /Ahnentafel
- /Ancestors
- /Descendants
- /Pedigree
- /Biography
- /info
I'm sure there are others but I cannot think of them. -AMK152(talk • contribs) 02:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Naming standards
Just like "/info", I propose that it should be required that all subpages be in lowercase letters only, such as "/pedigree" "/descendants" and "/ahnentafel". -AMK152(talk • contribs) 02:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:38, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- Doesn't the "tabs person" template have default tabs of /Ancestors, /Descendants, etc. Wouldn't this have to be changed in order to conform to this standard? Bill H 12:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- I guess the solution (if possible) is to have the Ancestors, Descendants, etc. tabs point to /ancestors, /descendants, etc. subpages.Bill H 12:57, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Ahnentafel/Pedigree/Ancestors
These three subpages all list the individual's ancestors. I believe it should be specified as to which is being used. This would bring it down to only two: "pedigree" and "ahnentafel".
4 and 5 generation pedigrees can automatically be generated using these templates:
{{Showinfo pedigree4}}
{{Showinfo pedigree5}}
These templates generate info from info pages.
An Ahnentafel can automatically be generated from this template: {{Showinfo ahnentafel}} Which leaves out the blanks in case an ancestor is not listed. I think that this should replace all other automatically generated templates. -AMK152(talk • contribs) 02:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- Does that overcome the parser function limit problem which restricts {{Ahnentafel}}?? — Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:38, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- I prefer to see the "red" links when that info is available. Thurstan 05:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- I presume you mean when the persons are links on a child's info page but do not have their own page yet. I like them too (even if just John Smith (?-?)). — Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- I have just created Louis XIV of France (1638-1715)/Ahnentafel (which is far from complete at this time) and it has been truncated by the parser function limit. Thurstan 11:13, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Can you explain how it is truncated? What would it show in addition if not truncated? — Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I almost said it: it is missing a line:

Descendants
List by surname
{{DescendantList|List=
LIST HERE
}}
Makes it neat, and automatically categorizes the person's surname and sorts the list into the "Descendancy lists" category by the person's surname.
As far as how the list is formated, I don't know how we would standardize it. I have seen so many different styles. This template makes it flexible but the categories only work for Info Pages. I have not yet figured out how to generate a list with no error automatically using info pages. -AMK152(talk • contribs) 02:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Tree
I guess (as I've suggested elsewhere recently) that a "chart" or table would "Get" children as an ordinary person page does. For a tree, the second column of the standard children table would instead of birth data be headed "grandchildren" and it would "Get Child1's children", and so on. Right? — Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:38, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Biography
I believe biography should be reserved for only the person's actual article. -AMK152(talk • contribs) 02:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- What if it's huge? (Well, Rtol might suggest that we just link to Wikipedia; I might too.) — Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:38, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
