{{redirect-distinguish|Template:Tree diagram|Template:Tree chart}}<br />
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:<br />
{{Tree list}}<br />
* {{tl|Tree list}}/<nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''Tree list/start'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br />
** {{tl|Tree list/end}}<br />
** {{tl|Tree list/branching}}<br />
{{Tree list/end}}<br />
<br />
== Syntax ==<br />
=== Start and finish of the tree ===<br />
The tree must include a start and finish, using the templates {{tl|Tree list}} and {{tl|Tree list/end}} respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisk *.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{Tree list}}<br />
* Here goes the content of the tree using asterisks.<br />
{{Tree list/end}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== The branches of the tree ===<br />
Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{Tree list}}<br />
* A first level branch<br />
** A second level branch<br />
*** A third level branch<br />
{{Tree list/end}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
produces<br />
{{Tree list}}<br />
* A first level branch<br />
** A second level branch<br />
*** A third level branch<br />
{{Tree list/end}}<br />
<br />
=== Unlabelled branches ===<br />
An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the {{tl|Tree list/branching}} template.<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Tree list}}<br />
* A first level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}}<br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** Another third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
** A second level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}} <!--- This branch ends the second level ---><br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
{{Tree list/end}}</syntaxhighlight><br />
produces the following:<br />
{{Tree list}}<br />
* A first level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}}<br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** Another third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
** A second level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}}<br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
{{Tree list/end}}<br />
<br />
==Collapse==<br />
To collapse a tree, place {{tlx|Hidden begin}} before {{tlx|Tree list}} and enclose {{tlx|Tree list/end}} with {{tlx|Hidden end}} (however, see [[MOS:DONTHIDE]] before hiding content in articles). {{tlx|Hidden begin}} defaults to just a "show" link on the right, but it takes a number of parameters; see the template's documentation. In this case:<br />
* {{para|border|1px #aaa solid}}{{snd}}A solid border around the tree<br />
* {{para|title|Demonstration tree}}{{snd}}A suitable name for the tree<br />
* {{para|ta1|center}}{{snd}}Center the title= name <br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{hidden begin|border=1px #aaa solid|title=Demonstration tree|ta1=center}}<br />
{{Tree list}}<br />
* A first level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}}<br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** Another third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
** A second level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}} <!--- This branch ends the second level ---><br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
{{Tree list/end}}<br />
{{Hidden end}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
{{hidden begin|border=1px #aaa solid|ta1=center||title=Demonstration tree}}<br />
{{Tree list}}<br />
* A first level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}}<br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** Another third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
** A second level branch<br />
** {{Tree list/branching}} <!--- This branch ends the second level ---><br />
*** A third level branch<br />
*** The final third level branch<br />
{{Tree list/end}}<br />
{{Hidden end}}<br />
<br />
If the parameter <code>|expanded=on</code> is added to {{tlx|hidden begin}}, then the box will be drawn expanded rather than the default, which is to collapse the tree.<br />

===An ancestry tree===<br />
[[Ahnentafel]] style trees can be can be displayed using this template, but usually for fewer than six generations the customised {{tlx|ahnentafel}} templates are clearer (see [[Template:Ahnentafel/doc]]). There is also an ahnentafel template {{Tlx|Ahnentafel-tree}}, that is based on this one, that makes construction of this tree simpler.<br />
