Family tree template isn't working in the article. @WikiDwarf @Bharatwiki Socrates Dokania😎(📩) 11:08, 25 October 2026 (IST)

Fixed. The chart was rendering as an empty table because Template:Tree chart was blank and Module:Tree chart/data contained a duplicate of the main module, which caused a Lua stack overflow. Both have been restored, and the family tree in the article now displays correctly. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 12:53, 25 October 2026 (IST)

There are some mistakes and need for improvement in this family tree but the family tree template is too complex. Can you help me with it? Dokania😎(📩) 13:50, 25 October 2026 (IST)

Explain the technical problem. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 13:57, 25 October 2026 (IST)

The wives of the three brothers, malyavan, sumali and mali are omitted from the family tree and their sons and daughters aren't named properly. Shurpanakha and her husband are also inclined towards vibhishan causing confusion. Dokania😎(📩) 16:40, 25 October 2026 (IST)

Done. The tree has been rebuilt: the wives of the three brothers are now shown (Sundari with Malyavan, Ketumati with Sumali and Vasuda with Mali), and their sons and daughters are now named in full instead of counts, including all ten sons of Sumali and his daughters Raka, Puspotkata and Kumbhinasi next to Kaikasi. The spacing in the last generation has also been redone, so Shurpanakha and Vidyujjihva now stand in their own branch with Shambhukumara below them, clearly separated from Vibhishana's branch. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 16:55, 25 October 2026 (IST)

Some old corrections are reverted shambhukumara isn't real. Not trijata but kalaa is her daughter Dokania😎(📩) 17:17, 25 October 2026 (IST)

Corrected. Shambhukumara has been removed from the tree, and Vibhishana's daughter is now shown as Kalaa instead of Trijata, matching the article text. Shurpanakha's branch now ends with her and Vidyujjihva, with no child box below them. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 17:22, 25 October 2026 (IST)

I have added some more names, can you include them. separate ravana sons by wives and correct the rendering of kumbhakarna and shurpanakha?

See here Dokania😎(📩) 19:02, 25 October 2026 (IST)

Done. Ravana's sons are now separated by wives: Mandodari has her own box on one side of Ravana and Dhanyamalini on the other. Indrajit and Akshayakumara hang from Mandodari's branch, Atikaya from Dhanyamalini's, and Narantaka, Devantaka and Trishira are grouped as the other sons on their own branch below. The names you added are also in: Jambumali is noted in Sumali's children box as Prahasta's son, and the other descendants of Vishrava (Khara with Makaraksha, Dushana, Mattanika, Mahodara and Mahaparshva) have their own box in the same generation. Rendering fixed as well: Kumbhakarna's drop now meets the Kumbha-Nikumbha branch exactly at its junction, the stray line under Shurpanakha's connector is removed, and Kalaa's box is centred under Vibhishana's drop. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 22:58, 25 October 2026 (IST)

It is still not aligned perfectly, especially shurpanakhas. I think so of prahasta and khara should have their own separate box below. Also, I had generated this but it's also not very good

Done. Prahasta now has his own separate box in Sumali's children row, with Jambumali in his own box directly below him, and Khara has his own box in Ravana's generation with Makaraksha in his own box below him; the collective box now keeps only Dushana, Mattanika, Mahodara and Mahaparshva. For Shurpanakha: the plain connector used in the last version rendered without the vertical mark, so her couple looked disconnected from Vidyujjihva; she now has the same standard connector as the other couples, and her pair has been shifted slightly left so the spacing against Vajrajwala and Vibhishana is even. There is still no line dropping from her branch, since she has no children in the tree. I have kept the plain uncoloured style rather than the colours in your draft, but followed its structure for Prahasta, Jambumali and Khara. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 08:58, 26 October 2026 (IST)

Changes to be made in family tree

1. Integrate the following pairs: Analaā–Viśvāvasu, Kumbhīnasī–Madhu, and Lavaṇāsura.

2. Khara and others are currently tagged as the progeny of Kaikasī and Viśravā. In reality, they are the progeny of Viśravā and his other wives. All three sisters of Kaikasī (Rākā and the others) were also married to him.

3. Likewise, Narāntaka and others are listed as the sons of Rāvaṇa and Dhānyamālinī. It would be better to attribute them to Rāvaṇa alone, as their mothers are unknown.

4. Vishrava is listed as progeny of mali and his wife which should be fixed. Dokania😎(📩) 06:32, 3 November 2026 (IST)

Can you contribute @Bharatwiki Socrates --Dokania😎(📩) 06:32, 3 November 2026 (IST)

@Dokania Done, all four changes are made in the article:

1. The pairs are integrated: a branch chart below the main chart now shows Analaa with Vishvavasu, their daughter Kumbhinasi with Madhu, and their son Lavanasura.

2. Khara's box and the collective box in the tree now read as descendants of Vishrava by his other wives, not of Kaikasi, and the article text now states that Kaikasi's three sisters (Raka, Pushpotkata and Kumbhinasi) were also married to Vishrava.

3. Atikaya's box now says "(by Dhanyamalini)", while Narantaka, Devantaka and Trishira are marked "(son of Ravana)", with no mother named for them.

4. Vishrava's box now says "(son of Pulastya)", and Mali's children box is headed "Mali's sons", so Vishrava no longer reads as a progeny of Mali.
