TOC issue

Is there anyway to not show the toc on this page? ---- 13:38, 4 January 2007 (EST)

• I took it out. Just cleared out {{tocright}} and replaced it with __NOTOC__. (Admin 13:42, 4 January 2007 (EST))
  • You're the man. ---- 14:15, 4 January 2007 (EST)
    • Just out of curiosity, why did you want the TOC removed? I added it back in, but can take it out again if needed. Any reason? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:25, 9 January 2007 (EST)
      • I didn't like it. It's fine now under the pic. ---- 01:30, 9 January 2007 (EST)
        • I agree, it's fine on the right. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:38, 9 January 2007 (EST)

Lead Pic

For the lead pic, I'd actually much rather see a picture of the Petrellis around the table for brunch, or else a picture of the most dysfunctional family, The Sanders/Hawkins Union. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:56, 4 January 2007 (EST)

page for each family

for the list of families, I tried to create a link to the most prominent character from each family. Do we want to make disambig pages or regular pages or family tree pages for each family? Thoughts? ---- 01:24, 9 January 2007 (EST)

I actually had this thought today. I think just a disambig page would be fine. I was actually thinking of a modified disambig page with a bit more info and maybe some background on the families. I don't have a clear idea yet - I'd have to write it to see how it turns out. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:37, 9 January 2007 (EST)

• Family trees would actually be pretty cool. We could do them as image maps (like the Heroes image map used for Category:Characters). I think they'd look really slick. There wouldn't necessarily be a great deal of content on each family's page, but they'd be cool for navigation at least.--Hardvice (talk) 02:48, 9 January 2007 (EST)
  • For easier maintenance, we could do them with tables, too, like this:

Mr. Petrelli m.          Angela Petrelli ¦

¦ ¦          Nathan Petrelli m.          Heidi Petrelli          Peter Petrelli ¦

¦ ¦          Simon Petrelli          Monty Petrelli

Family trees are a great idea. I don't think there will be too much maintenance on them - it's not like people on the show are having babies everyday, or learning who their grandfathers are everyday. I like the image map, but that's just my opinion.

The other thing to remember is that most of the families will be small - 2-3 people. The one you just did is the largest one there will be. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:12, 9 January 2007 (EST)

I like the map idea, too keep them simple and clean. But good work on that one! ---- 10:39, 9 January 2007 (EST)

• I remember somewhere, that there is a difference between a solid line and a dotted line, such as adoption, so that could be good to know for the Bennets. ---- 10:40, 9 January 2007 (EST)

It occurs to me that we can easily combine the two, and put family trees on the disambig pages. That way, there's a ready-made category. I agree re: the image maps ... the tables are serviceable, but it'll look much nicer as an image map.--Hardvice (talk) 12:23, 9 January 2007 (EST)

• the Suresh Family was missing from the list of families portion. I took the liberty of adding it. If anyone objects, holler. SacValleyDweller 01:32, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Templates for each family

I was wondering if you could make templetes for each family beacuse you have templetes for the graphic novels' characters. Rayhond 00:35, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
