This page aims to assist Wikipedians working with biographical articles containing [[family tree]]s.
The most common way is to display a family tree on Wikipedia is as an [[ahnentafel]] by [[Template: Ahnentafel]]. However, there are other options.
This page originated in examples taken from a discussion on the [[Wikipedia:Village pump|Village pump]] in March/April 2005 (see [[Wikipedia talk:Family trees|Talk page]]). It has since been updated to use later created templates.
== Ahnentafel ==
The simplest way to include a list of ancestors is the [[Ahnentafel]]. This is a standard for genealogists, but it is hard to understand for people who have not seen it before.

Ahnentafels can be displayed as horizontal trees using

A similar use of {{tlx|Tree chart}} can be used to construct a top down tree, but there is a template ({{tlx|Ahnentafel-chart}}) that can be used to display bottom-up or top-down family trees using {{tlx|Tree chart}} that is simpler to construct:

==Tree list==
Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{hidden begin|border=1px #aaa solid|title=Demonstration tree|ta1=center}}
{{Tree list}}
Line 187 ⟶ 212:
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
** Another second level branch
{{Hidden end}}</syntaxhighlight>
which produces
Line 200 ⟶ 223:
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
** Another second level branch
{{Tree list/end}}
{{Hidden end}}
For an example see the following template link {{tlx|Houston family tree}}. For more details on this method see the following template link {{tlx|Tree list}}. The templates examples include "[[Template:Tree list#A family tree|Descendants of Herny VII of England]]" and "[[Template:Tree list#An ancestry tree|Ancestry of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge]]".
Trees using {{tlx|Tree list}} are usually displayed collapsed to alter that so they display expanded add the parameter: <
===Ahnentafel-tree===
The template {{tlx|ahnentafel-tree}} uses {{tlx|Tree list}} and will handle up to an ahnentafel of 511 places (9 generations), but will also display as little as one generation.

Although this method was common on Wikipedia in the past,
When this section was originally written an example in article space provided: [[Family tree of the Greek gods]]. The last ASCII version of that table had problems with alignment (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Family_tree_of_the_Greek_gods&oldid=95374094 Revision of 19 December 2006]). It was replaced with one based on the familytree templates (the forerunner of {{tl|chart}} templates) on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Family_tree_of_the_Greek_gods&oldid=97492352 31 December 2006].
