Editing User talk:Mindset (section)

== Family trees ==

Hello

You stated in a recent edit that ''using the pagename variable keeps the template in its category alphabetized under "Targaryen tree Viserys" rather than under "Template"''. However, since the pagename variable has been added to all the family trees, while they are still listed alphabetically, they are now all listed as "Template:nameoffamilytree".  Unless I'm reading your 'reason for edit' wrong, that sounds like the opposite of what you were trying to achieve?--[[User:Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys Targaryen]] ([[User talk:Rhaenys Targaryen|talk]]) 13:32, 23 November 2015 (CST)


Hi Mindset, I saw on your sandbox you once entertained the idea of implanting diagonals on family trees. That would be a good solution for characters with more than two marriages and it may even be used to show twins too. But is that even possible to do ? --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 13:06, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
:Hey Thomaerys! I wasn't aware of the CSS methods at the time I originally thought of editing the family tree template some years ago, but it's definitely possible to do diagonals. You can see [https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?title=User:Mindset/sandbox2&oldid=296458 here] that wiki table cells can be rotated, which can be used to make diagonal connectors. (The example there is not what a family tree would look like, it was just to see if the rotation CSS could be used in mediawiki code.) @Ran has fixed my permissions back up, so when I get a chance, I'll try to figure out a way to add diagonal connectors that look good, in a way that doesn't cause issues with existing family trees. Let me know if you have any ideas! --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 12:57, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
