This category is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, his legendarium, and related topics. Please visit the project talk page for suggestions and ideas on how you can improve this and other articles.Middle-earthWikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earthTemplate:WikiProject Middle-earthTolkien
Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material before the current action must be written in past tense. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards for more information about this and other article standards.
Some Family tree templates are overused in articles. They have limited relevance, take up a lot of space, and cannot be tailored to the character or event they are applied to. It would be better to just put a non-template tree into articles and allow editors to tailor them to the article. The Half-elven template is a prime example of overuse and distortion. Its perfect for articles about Half-elven characters like Earendil or Elrond. Its distorting in an article about the House of Thingol. It would be better for even the Half-elven Luthien to have a different tree that prominently displays descent from her and leaves descent from others, like Finwe, to their articles. Tree should fit article, not article fit template.Tttom121:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
