Why has Landscape Pedigree View changed to show the ancestry of a spouse?

I posted a Community question about Landscape Pedigree view and was directed to this group by Ashlee C.

I now think this may be an unintended consequence of changes made to other pedigree views. I usually view trees using Fan Chart and saw this for the first time yesterday when a guest at the Family Search Library had a question.

"The landscape pedigree now displays the parents of an individual AND the parents of their spouse. This is not genealogically correct.

Also, a person with no spouse (like me) has half of the pedigree blank where there is no ancestry of a spouse to display.

The definition of a pedigree is a display of the ancestors of a person, not the ancestry of their spouse.

If you want to add this type of display, it needs a new name. It is not a replacement for the Landscape Pedigree chart."

…reads - well, as you can see above (there seems no way of just adding a URL to reference Community posts, but that is another issue).

Would you confirm such posts definitely should be placed here? At the top of the page it reads:

Tree Pedigree Views

✨Note: This space is only for posts related to the

🆕 Fan Chart View and Portrait View

Please refrain from posting general questions that are unrelated to these topics.

This appears to contradict your advice to @Charliece Hillery. Would you please clarify and/or arrange a rewording of the instruction shown above if Landscape View queries are to be posted here.

I was about to post a comment at this group but, as it refers to the Landscape View, am confused as to whether this would be appropriate, or if I should stick to the Family Tree category.

Thank you.

@Paul W Yes, questions about Descendancy View and Landscape view also belong in this group.

Thanks, Ashlee.
