The template should be reverted to the previous version, as most of the pages are in complete chaos! Thank you.--Lasha-george (talk) 12:28, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, oops. See Aaron#Family tree for an example. @Paine Ellsworth? — Qwerfjkl talk 17:08, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See my sandbox! Too chaos... Everything was in order yesterday. Please return to the initial version (See: Template:Chart: Revision history). If there is a review and it is expected to redirect or create another page or similar, Okey and if not I will return to the initial version! Lasha-george (talk) 20:13, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Scrollable

No response in 11 days. Now at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Horizontal scrolling for more eyes. Closing per WP:MULTI. ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 17:40, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have a problem when I add too many people in the same generation. The names become squeezed into multiple lines, and so the tree as a whole becomes taller. How can I make the tree scrollable left to right instead? Surtsicna (talk) 08:01, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An update from the Hebrew wiki

Hi everyone,

I would like to update you that I have created a visual alternative for this template in the Hebrew wiki. It has some aesthetic advantages and more functionality, but the main thing is that it is much easier to edit. Since it is visual, one can move entire regions of the diagram in a single cut-and-paste operation, and there is no need to count cells. I would be happy to help translate this to English if there is a local editor who is interested. Here is the link to the tool:

https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%AA%D7%91%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA:%D7%AA%D7%A8%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%9D

and here are some examples:

See you, Rami (talk) 14:39, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not very active here, so please let me now on aizenr@gmail.com if you answering here. Rami (talk) 14:41, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Class needed

This template should add an HTML class name to the emitted table element so that its uses could be targeted by CSS/JS. This could easily be added to {{Tree chart/start}}. Something like "tree-chart" or whatever is deemed best. Opencooper (talk) 23:46, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
