The WikiProject for Genealogy aims to standardize genealogical information on Wikipedia. While Wikipedia is not and never was intended as a genealogy software, this area may still be further improved. Nearly all royalty articles include a section of brief ancestry, as well as a list of spouse(s) and issue. This practice may possibly be extended outside the bounds of royalty and aristocracy where encyclopedically relevant, while taking necessary precaution of personal integrity in biographical articles.
A project such as this one would possibly contradict WP:NOTGENEALOGY: "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic", especially if its scope becomes too large — another reason to keep it limited to encyclopedically obviously relevant data.
Contents
Goals

- Choose the standard form for spouses and issue
- Decide on proper placement of charts within articles
- Expand scope of ancestral table publishing to include everyday people
- Realize Wikimedia genealogy project. If you have not yet supported Wikimedia genealogy project with your vote, please do so here.
Assessment
Templates
The most common template used for displaying ancestroy trees is {{Ahnentafel}}
(for what the German word Ahnentafel means see the Wikipedia article "Ahnentafel"). For help on how to use {{Ahnentafel}}
and other templates and methods that are avaiable for displaying family/ancestory trees see Help:Family trees.
Current tempate discussions
Place below any tempates that are potentially useful for members of this project and that are currently the subject of a discussion (most recent first):
Wikidata equivalent
A Wikidata ancestry equivalent similar to WikiTree, for a language independent encyclopedically relevant database, likely containing mostly monarchs and such. Thus, each generation where ancestry is deemed relevant in biographical articles would not need a complete reformating, while access and implementation over the language board would be faciliated. Naturally, if applied, a new template rendering from this wikidata family tree would be needed. Also, precaution of personal integrity would be a main issue.

- I'd love to see a Wikimedia genealogy project. I invite project members and passersby to contribute to this discussion at Meta-Wiki. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:09, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- I'm with Another Believer. To restrict this project to Wikipedia in the Eglish language is not a very good idea. What about a domain Wikitree, Wikigenea or something similar? Klaas `Z4␟` V 08:41, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- User:Gap9551 ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Strong interest in a Wikimedia genealogy project aimed at building a public single tree (one profile per person), including an option for adding living people using privacy controls. People with Wikipedia entries in any language, or with content on other projects, can be linked. I'm currently a member of Wikitree and WeRelate. Gap9551 (talk) 18:32, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
