			== Family tree inclusion thoughts ==

			I find that the present inclusion of the family tree to be aesthetically displeasing. Creating a section for the family tree causes a break in the article body that looks very jarring, if not unprofessional in appearance. Shorter articles (such as [[Ila]] and [[Zac]]) definitely suffer more because of this, although it is definitely jarring on larger articles such as [[Apollo (TOS)\|Apollo]] and [[Adama (TOS)\|Adama]].

			Wouldn't it be better to shove this thing in a div container and treat it like a captioned picture? You can still have it linked from the infobox by using the {{tl\|inlineref}} template somewhere near the chart to add the anchor... Or, barring that, perhaps a separate page dedicated to family trees. (Though that might pose its own problem, since there aren't that many family trees to begin with... The only other once I can think of relating to the Original Series is the [[Michael]]/[[Sarah Fowler]] and children family tree.)

(Even then, I find that the family tree is really a regurgitation of information that is already in the Character infobox, since the whole family tree is pretty much laid out in a majority of them, anyway.) Only real difference is that this is in chart form, which may be beneficial for an family tree overview article. Also, I can see this thing spiraling out of control fast... so we should really establish a guideline for the usage of family tress (when they should be used, where they should be used, etc.). -- [[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> 15:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

			== Family tree inclusion thoughts ==

			I find that the present inclusion of the family tree to be aesthetically displeasing. Creating a section for the family tree causes a break in the article body that looks very jarring, if not unprofessional in appearance. Shorter articles (such as [[Ila]] and [[Zac]]) definitely suffer more because of this, although it is definitely jarring on larger articles such as [[Apollo (TOS)\|Apollo]] and [[Adama (TOS)\|Adama]].

			Wouldn't it be better to shove this thing in a div container and treat it like a captioned picture? You can still have it linked from the infobox by using the {{tl\|inlineref}} template somewhere near the chart to add the anchor... Or, barring that, perhaps a separate page dedicated to family trees. (Though that might pose its own problem, since there aren't that many family trees to begin with... The only other once I can think of relating to the Original Series is the [[Michael]]/[[Sarah Fowler]] and children family tree.)
