This family of templates can be used to create a properly structured and accessible tree. This can be used to display family trees, succession to thrones, etc. They comprise:
- ((Tree list))
- ((Tree list/end))
- ((Tree list/branching))
Syntax
Start and finish of the tree
The tree must include a start and finish, using the templates ((Tree list)) and ((Tree list/end)) respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisk *.
((Tree list))
* Here goes the content of the tree using asterisks.
((Tree list/end))
The branches of the tree
Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists:
((Tree list))
* A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
((Tree list/end))
produces
- A first level branch
- A second level branch
- A third level branch
- A second level branch
Unlabelled branches
An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the ((Tree list/branching)) template.
((Tree list))
* A first level branch
** ((Tree list/branching))
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** The final third level branch
** A second level branch
** ((Tree list/branching)) <!--- This branch ends the second level --->
*** A third level branch
*** The final third level branch
((Tree list/end))
produces the following:
- A first level branch
-
- A third level branch
- Another third level branch
- The final third level branch
- A second level branch
-
- A third level branch
- The final third level branch
-
Collapse
To collapse a tree place ((Hidden begin)) before ((Tree list)) and enclose ((Tree list/end)) with ((Hidden end)). ((Hidden begin)) default to just a show link on the right, but it takes a number of parameters see the template's documentation. In this case:
|border=1px #aaa solid — a solid border around the tree |title=Demonstration tree — a suitable name for the tree |ta1=center – center the title= name
((hidden begin|border=1px #aaa solid|title=Demonstration tree|ta1=center))
((Tree list))
* A first level branch
** ((Tree list/branching))
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** The final third level branch
** A second level branch
** ((Tree list/branching)) <!--- This branch ends the second level --->
*** A third level branch
*** The final third level branch
((Tree list/end))
((Hidden end))
Demonstration tree
- A first level branch
-
- A third level branch
- Another third level branch
- The final third level branch
- A second level branch
-
- A third level branch
- The final third level branch
-
If the parameter |expanded=on is added to ((hidden begin)) then the box will be drawn expanded rather than the default, which is to collapse the tree.

An ancestry tree
Ahnentafel style trees can be can be displayed using this template, but usually for less than 6 generations the customised Ahnentafel templates are clearer (see Template:Ahnentafel/doc). There is also an ahnentafel template (((Ahnentafel-tree))), that is based on this one, that makes construction this tree simpler.
