Template talk:Potterfamilytree

Reduction
Hi folks! So, in case people decided to check my past contributions, yes, I have been modifying family tree templates lately, and some do contain large byte-size reduction, yet I have not held any discussion on their respective Talk page; this is because in those cases, I have not actually removed members featured on those family trees, and that the templates themselves contained a bunch of redundant pipes. I'm writing here, however, because this time, I will be removing a huge chunk, and I'm here to state why.

This template is called "Potterfamilytree", and is understandably used on Potter family, and additionally used on Peverell family, yet, more than 50% of the individuals in this template are not descendent of either of the families, they aren't blood related, they were related by marriage. This would not have been a big deal had it only been the very minority, but here it's like putting the cart before the thestrals. This template should focus on the Potters and the Peverells, and somehow, it's bombarded with Weasleys, and misguidedly being super thorough, so even Muggle families like the Dursleys and Evans, and French family the Delacours were thrown into the mix. They do not belong here.

I will also be combining because it is peculiarly supremely similar to this template to begin with; along with. Those actually contained individuals of immediate relevance and not a bunch of in-laws, because "hey, it's good to know". The Delacours, Weasleys, Dursleys, and Evans, are not descents of the Peverells, and are only related to the Potters via marriage in various degrees. It's not the place. If you aren't seeing the entire Potter family tree incorporated into the ones for the Weasleys, and lol, the Delacours (because this at least have some common sense, not even the Weasleys were all included in this one, you see how distant they are to the Potters?), it should not be done vise versa.

I do not know when I'd complete this, just know that that's the plan.

The following are from the latest respective revisions of what'd be effected. This template will also likely be renamed "Peverellfamilytree" as it would be the one to be traced back to.
