Template:Chart top/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Chart top. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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.

{{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)

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.

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).
