Topic on Extension talk:Genealogy

So, I've got things working on my main wiki... but all that family data is cluttering up everything else, as the focus of my pages isn't genealogy (but I'd like to display trees and family data when called upon). I'd like to put all the genealogy data in a Geanealogy:Namespace and either transclude it where applicable or put a "see more" link in the main articles. This potentially will break things, as they're looking for [[Person Name]] pages and not [[Genealogy:Person Name]].

Could this functionality be added in? Thanks!

@Celyn Kendrick: This can already be done now by using the full page name when defining relationships. For example:

{{#genealogy:parent|Genealogy:Bob}}
{{#genealogy:tree|ancestors=Genealogy:Bob}}

Will render the correct links, and not show the namespace name.

I'm not sure if this feature has been widely used, so do let me know if you run into any corners where it's assuming the main namespace.

I got it to work, but I managed to foul up my database in the process. Sorted now.
