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
[edit]Start and finish of the tree
[edit]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
[edit]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
[edit]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
[edit]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
[edit]Ahnentafel style trees can be can be displayed using this template, but usually for fewer than six 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.
