 * You should always test table color combinations using the WP:Color tool . All four WCAG 2 AA Compliant results should read YES.

Dead-url is deprecated

 * Hi, deadurl and dead-url have been deprecated in cite web and its variants in favor of url-status, and a red citation error message now appears in citations which use the deprecated syntax. However, I notice that GreenC bot is still generating dead-url, which has contributed to the growth of the maintenance category [[:Category:CS1_errors: deprecated parameters]]. Are you able to update the bot accordingly? The particulars of the cite template update that applies here are listed at the maintenance category page (and also at [[Template:Cite_web]]), but note that the "yes" or "no" values also need to be changed to "live", "dead", "unfit", or "usurped", as necessary. Thanks.
 * Hi, dead-url and related parameters have recently been deprecated in favor of url-status (see Template:Citation), and using any of the old parameters places the article into a maintenance category for CS1 errors. Thanks.

Current
Unless otherwise noted, any unique parameters can obviously be accommodated by custom fields in Infobox character. I'm noting equivalent parameters with different names, but this is an easy conversion with AWB. There are some cases in which crufty parameters have previously been removed from infobox templates (like birth date or eye color), and for simplicity's sake I'm ignoring any related information leftover in the articles themselves.

 * Chart syntax

The chart template is largely compatible with the earlier familytree template. However, to use the additional functionality offered with this template, diagrams must be updated to use chart instead. Many familytree diagrams can be altered to use chart simply by replacing the wikitext  with. A few of the "mixed" tiles had to be renamed, and familytree diagrams using these tiles will have to make a few changes. Additionally, two new "mixed" tiles have been added, joining solid lines to dashed lines. The following table summarises the differences:
 * Migration from familytree

Lastly, if any uses of the familytree template end with, that vertical bar should be removed, leaving the last cell in that row containing either some text or a space.

The familytree.js tool below can be used to convert between syntaxes. Just change the start tag when in edit view, then click "Art → Templates" to toggle back to wikitext view. The other templates will be updated to match.
