- See here. I want this template to work at the Genealogy Wikia here, but it's not working. I would also like to know how to make one up to 10 generations. Thanks for any help. -AMK152(Talk • Contributions 23:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- This uses html tables in parser functions, which requires htmlTidy to be installed (which Wikia cannot do at this time, even though I have begged and demanded that we do). You can hypothetically try to convert it to using wikitables, but that is a painful process, for a template this complex. Basically, you replace (not magically, but manually)
<tr></tr>
with{{!}}-
and with{{!}}
(needs Template:!). Pain in the ascii. --Splarka (talk) <Staff> 09:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)- Ouch. Well, I used a HTML to wiki markup converter, and it converted it, but when i go to actually use the template, I can only use the first field:

{{Ahnentafel-compact5 | 1 = Person }}
This doesn't work:
{{Ahnentafel-compact5 | 1 = Person | 2 = Dad | 3 = Mom }}
The borders don't appear around the boxes either. Did the converter do something wrong here? [1]. -AMK152(Talk • Contributions 20:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- That messed it up royally. It converted existing pipes to | (which inside parameter names can stay as is) and put in the wikitable pipes as | (which need to change to
{{!}}
with Template:!. - Something like this (a new tr and single td):
|- | rowspan="2" | foo
- to be in a parserfunction has to be converted thus-ish-ly:
{{#if:{{{foo|}}}| {{!}}- {{!}} rowspan="2" {{!}} {{{foo}}} }}
