What are in Family tree?
In the section Template:Tree chart the instructions for converting the tiles,   &   were wrong.

These are the notes I made to check the correct changes to make:


 * Tiles,   &   in Family tree are:


 * The equivalent tiles in Tree chart are,   &   which are:

I have already made the necessary changes. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 11:55, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Double border
Any chance of a tile style with ?

I'm using this template/module over on English Wikisource trying to replace various historical family tree templates, and have run across a style of family tree that uses a double line between boxes to indicate marriages. An example is at s:Page:The Complete Peerage Ed 2 Vol 1.djvu/91 (the scanned page image on the right). I've so far only seen this for the equivalent of the  tile, so simply having   or   or similar would be sufficient, but it's conceivable other use cases exist for double lines.

In any case, I would prefer to not have to patch this over on enWS every time we re-import the code from here, so I would very much appreciate it if we could get this from "upstream". I could mock this up in the sandbox, but I imagine it'll be faster (and less disruptive to any other ongoing changes) for someone familiar with the code to do it. --Xover (talk) 13:10, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

"Crows' feet"
Cf. the above, on s:Page:The Complete Peerage Ed 2 Vol 1.djvu/91, they're using a little crows' feet-like symbol to indicate that there was issue from a marriage but that that branch of the tree has been elided. I haven't been able to come up with any elegant way to support that. Anybody have ideas?

The best I've been able to come up with is a tile with a suitable image in it, set to scale with the size of the surrounding. At the sizes we're talking about here, a bitmap ought to do the job, but ideally, I suppose, one would use an SVG (is there support for inline SVG in data: attributes yet?). It feels a little icky to suggest using an image in an otherwise entirely markup-based template (especially one that, among others, replaces an image-based implementation iirc), but I can't really think of any better alternatives. --Xover (talk) 13:21, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Complicated family situation
This is a complicated situation that I'm not sure how to render: There is an existing family tree at Cyriacus Buyruk Khan. The grand-daughter, Ibaqa Beki, is listed as being married to Jürchedei, which is correct. However, she also was, prior to that marriage, married to Genghis Khan. I saw above how to render a situation with two marriages, however, this is complicated by the family tree, where her sister is married to a son of Genghis Khan.--3family6 (Talk to me &#124; See what I have done ) 18:20, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I also mucked things up trying to add another granddaughter, who married Jochi, another son of Genghis Khan.--3family6 (Talk to me &#124; See what I have done ) 18:34, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Color coding
Dear fellow Wikipedians, as I was editing Medici family tree, where things complicated a bit, I got an idea. Is there any chance of color-coding those lines? This idea is also stated in this article on example of divorce. Another problem I was facing was width and height as new generations were added. Any chance of locking these ratios? Is color-coding possible with our template? Thanks in advance. --A09090091 (talk) 20:05, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Numbering tiles
I have noticed some people, eg Valentinianic dynasty, are using a system in which they seem to be numbering tiles. I don't see any documentation on this, nor can I fully understand how this works! --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  21:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Boxes wider than three tiles?
Is there any method to make a box wider than the standard three (3) tile width? It would be useful in some instance (when using it for org chart examples) to have a box which is the width of several boxes (and the spaces between them in the next row down. – Lestatdelc (talk) 16:20, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
