If you wish to add more ancestry for MaHaRaL of Prague - המהר״ל מפראג, please first read this article

At the moment, there is no actual evidence of any further ancestry. But please comment if you think you have found something that has not yet been reviewed.

In the book "Elef Margaliot" there is a table with the ancestors of the Maharal from Prague written in it, but I do"nt know if the information written in it is correct or not ... I know that Meir Wonder did a wonderful job in the book, but there are information when he was wrong,

It’s not. He relied of Meir Perles. Read the article by Putik.

There is an ancestry chart of the Lubavitcher rebbe on https://chabadinfo.com/news/the-rebbes-family-chain/,
Going through the Maharal, all the way back to Adam HaRishon. Can we use it?

I looked through the drawings a bit, and there is a problem: there is a reference there through Rabbi Hai Gaon (hopefully I spelled his name correctly in English), the problem: the researchers are not at all sure he had children, so the lists should be treated with skepticism.

By the way, there are people who have opened parallel profiles for him and connected themselves to him and cause damage to the general tree

Private no. That recent list is not a source. It is a typical mix of real people and inventions from over the years. Ideally, a source should exist in something written before 1800. Even then, as with Meir Perles' book, we need to take into account recent scholarship demonstrating mistakes.
