Family Tree - Allow characters without articles to be used in relationships
Feature Upgrade · Family trees · Created by BloodKnightX
declined
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Currently only characters with characters sheets can be used when creating family trees. Sometimes the names of the people in those relationships are known but the character isn't important enough to have a full article about it. Because of this the family tree function may not be used or wasteful articles are created just to flesh out the family tree.How does this feature request address the current situation?
Adding the ability to use variables instead of articles would allow for the creation of tooltips when hovering over the name on the family tree with stub information that doesn't call for the creation of a full article. Adding the ability to input a name that doesn't have an article or variable would allow for the fleshing out of family trees with the names of characters that don't have enough information or importance to call for the creation of a variable or article.What are other uses for this feature request?
No other uses I can think of other than allowing for the family tree to be more viable. This modification to the feature would result in less overhead server side with less articles being created for minor characters that were only created for the purpose of the family tree.The Team's Response

on 2021-05-14 03:46As SolarCat02 mentioned, this sounds like it could use the variables system in the background, even if the variables are not shown to the user. If they are shown to users because of a high enough guild rank, then it'd be nice to have a "auto-generated" tag added.

on 2021-05-14 01:22I agree with this because I don't need an article for all historical characters that exist - in the interest of keeping the collection of articles clean, I would support this.

on 2021-05-14 00:34I would love this option! I have so many unneeded articles just flesh out one family tree that it almost doesn't seem worth it to have that tree, but I keep them because I worked too hard to get the timing down to make the tree flow smoothly.

on 2021-05-13 19:37Honestly, this is a necessary feature for me before I even use family trees. I'd love to create complex family trees without making a page for each. Being able to just manually create your tree would be better than generating it based on character relationships, in my opinion. But that's a much bigger ask and a total overhaul of the feature as it stands.

on 2021-05-13 16:10When family trees first came out this suggestion was made and Dimi stated it was not possible. That said, this was before variables and organization trees and a lot of other great features which also do not rely upon articles to function. I think this suggestion is therefore one worth revisiting, as what was not possible before may be possible now.
