| I'd only use this for families with three generations. Grandparents, parents, children. Or if there are "lateral" relatives like brothers, aunts and such. But not for two parents with a kid or two. That's too obvious. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC) | | I'd only use this for families with three generations. Grandparents, parents, children.

| ::That's for articles. If you mean a series of pages solely for family trees, then we could be more generous, but again, what's the point of a diagram for something simple? -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 17:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

| :I know I'm getting into this late, and that this has been discussed back in April, so I beg forgiveness for my tardiness and resurrection of a potentially dead subject. I'm trying to become more involved with the wiki and thought I'd continue discussing Think Tank Proposals. That said, I think Serenity is dead on. If there is only one member of a family tree there's no point in including it.

| I'd like to know as much as the next guy as much as possible about the character's backgrounds. However, a lot of them lost their families in the Cylon attacks and there's no real point to including Unknown Mother, Unknown Father, Cally - Chief Tyrol - Offspring, etc. That becomes too lengthy and it also falls close to, in my opinion, fanwankery.--[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 00:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

| ::: I believe the use of "family trees" should be done on a case by case basis. For instance, I believe the Adamas should have a family tree, since that family is huge and we can trace the tree back within a couple of generations. Beyond that, I don't think the Tyrols need one, since that family tree is more of a shrub, and is summarized by the character's infoboxes. Same can be said for some of the characters from the original series, like Adama and his family... no need for a tree there, really.

| ::: There is such a thing as over-stating facts, and I believe that the whole family tree thing is a prime example of that, if used incorrectly and indiscriminately. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 00:54, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
