- Description
- Displays a table or tables of the siblings and half-siblings of an individual on the individual's "basepage" or any of its subpages. It is very similar to Showfacts children and calls the same sub-templates (listed below).
- Property Types
- Very Important - the Person profile must properly declare children group data as a data type.
- John Mangum (1817-1881) - data type declaration not working
- Brigham Young (1801-1877) - working data type - first six children groups are declared data type. Confirm this with looking at the special browse page (Special:Browse/Brigham Young.
- I suspect this problem has something to do with needing the FORM to declare your children!
- Assumptions
- Assumes father's file is primary data source of siblings data
- If no father's file exists - then mother's file may be a secondary source
- Mother may have children from multiple fathers/marriages - those would be half siblings of the individual.
- Syntax
- Type or paste {{Showfacts siblings}} where you want it to appear
- If there are half-siblings or the father has no facts page, you may need to use parameters. See Help:Children#Siblings.]]
