Advantages and disadvantages[]

This template is very useful before you have separate pages for the individuals. After that, however, its only advantages over the automated "/tree" subpage are greater possible length and free content (i.e. add any info you like to any box), while its disadvantage is that additions and corrections must be made manually.

Use of this for descendant charts[]

The same template can be used for descendants if there are no more than two children shown for any one person. Main use would be to show how two or more people are descended from the same person or couple without showing all of the other descendants. See example at Mareen Duvall (c1630-1694)/Presidential descendants. Robin Patterson (Talk) 08:00, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
