This was created to allow for the width of ancestry boxes to adapt if there is a tall thumbnail to the right. Put it and {{ahnentafel bottom}} on separate lines from the ahnentafel template they wrap around.

{{ahnentafel top}}
by default, shows Ancestors of X where X is the name of the article
{{ahnentafel top|title}}
to change the title of the table
{{ahnentafel top|width=100%}}
to change the width of the table
{{ahnentafel top|clear=right}}
to push the table below any prior right floating elements
{{ahnentafel top|clear=left}}
to push the table below any prior left floating elements
{{ahnentafel top|clear=both}}
to push the table below any prior left or right floating elements (note: width=100% typically will (in most cases) force the table to use the full page width, and push the table below floating elements)

This template will show a collapsed (fully-closed) version of the enclosed ahnentafel when first seen on the page, with a "(show)" option for the reader. To show the reader on first sight an uncollapsed ahnentafel, with a title bar with a "(hide)" option, add |collapsed=no.
