Template:Chart top/documentation

This was created to allow for the width of ancestry boxes to adapt if there is a tall thumbnail to the right. Put it and {{Chart bottom}} on separate lines from the Chart template they wrap around.

Options

{{Chart top}}

by default, shows Family of X where X is the name of the article

{{Chart top|title}}

to change the title of the table

{{Chart top|background=yellow}}

to add a named color to the title.

{{Chart top|width=100%}}

to change the width of the table

{{Chart top|clear=right}} or {{Chart top|clear=left}}

to push the table below any prior right or left floating elements

{{Chart top|clear=both}}

to push the table below any prior left or right floating elements

note: width=100% typically will (in most cases) force the table to use the full page width, and push the table below floating elements)

Show/hide

This template will show a collapsed (fully-closed) version of the enclosed Chart when first seen on the page, with a "(show)" option for the reader. To show the reader on first sight an uncollapsed Chart, with a title bar with a "(hide)" option, add |collapsed=no.

Size warning

Remember "Avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes and reference sections.", per MOS:ACCESS#Font size and MOS:SMALLFONT. Use of the {{Small}} template within a chart that uses this template produces a font size 75% of the page default, well below the 85% minimum specified in the linked guidelines.

Per Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 159#Infobox font size, common text within an infobox is 88% of page default. Therefore use of this template in an infobox yields 74.8% of page default (0.88 * 0.85).
