Just a small tweak that, was brought up in the discussion process for a past CT but got forgotten to be in prose for the final policy text.

Currently there's: 

#'''Family tree''' is an optional section that can be introduced on organization articles that are familial-type groups, including clans, flocks, and other cultural group equivalents that utilize a {{Tl|Family}} infobox. The section should implement the {{Tl|FamilyTree}} template (example: [[Barash Silvain's family]]).

Proposing this vote to tack on to the end: 

{{Tl|FamilyTree}} should be avoided if adding the section would result in only a single information cell being present.

Because, the entire point of a family tree is to show relations between family members. That might look like Barash Silvain's family where it's just a bunch of unidentifieds and that's fine, and it's not phrased as 'only one known member' as sometimes, well, conjecturals or combined parents' pages. But, at the same time, if only one information cell is being added/can be added due to current lack of information, thats pretty much useless as it's just a standalone colored box. Similar to other onsite measures in that regard.—spookywillowwtalk 15:15, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
