Family-Tree -Tags
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
I would like to hide a character in a family line because it's a bit of a spoiler. I have a workaround right now. But I would like to connect them so I don't have redundant articles.
I also have a test site that has some key characters in a story, but I have the full family tree built and linked into the key characters. I would like to display only the key characters and how they are related.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
Having access to tags can set up the trees to only show people what you want people to see or limiting the generations would allow you to hide that someone is a descendant of someone else in the world.
Tags are already being used in the diplomacy web to show only organizations with a tag. So if can we could have…
[familytree:Tag]
It would pull only characters with that tag to build the tree. I'm not sure how it would handle people who are not related to each other in any way. But someone might think of a way to solve that problem.
We could also have this as an option as well…
[familytree:Character-ID|Tag]
And it finds only characters with the tag linked to the character with the ID.
As for limiting the generations, it could be like this…
[familytree:Character-ID|2]
This would only show two generations back and forward (Parents, Grandparents, Children, and Grandchildren)
What are other uses for this feature request?
I think It could also be used with bloodlines as they use the same system.
I know the relationship and tagging systems have upgrades in the works and this could be built upon with other ideas.
