a new field to embed other Infoboxes

~~I suggest adding a new field titled "Other office" before header68 so that, if needed, another infobox such as Infobox officeholder can be embedded in it. For example: Rumlu/sandbox~~ Rumlu (talk) 11:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We already have that as embed and module parameters. DrKay (talk) 12:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know, but it is the last parameter, that's why I emphasized above that it should be placed before the header68 parameter. Rumlu (talk) 12:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just use the current parameters, like is done at Prince Arthur of Connaught and Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. DrKay (talk) 12:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand, but don't you think it is better, for example, instead of Infobox officeholder/office being placed in the succession field, a suitable field should be added just for this purpose, such as the Module parameter. Rumlu (talk) 12:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. Furthermore, as you are probably a sock puppet of User:Arya.Go, it is not wise for you to draw attention to yourself by pursuing the same edits he did. DrKay (talk) 12:30, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just made a suggestion, I didn't insist that it be done, I thought it might be better Rumlu (talk) 12:34, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I wanted to know if it is better to use Infobox officeholder/office or Template: Labeldata for the parameters that are not in Infobox royalty. Rumlu (talk) 12:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the proposed addition. GoodDay (talk) 23:55, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GoodDay:@DrKay:According to the explanations that were given, I gave up on my offer. Rumlu (talk) 06:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non substantive title: Head of House

I realised that this template is used in multiple occasions for non substantive titles like "Head of House X". The template documentation states, that the filed "Sucession" should be used for substantive titles. Therefore I seek advice how this should be handled properly. -- Theoreticalmawi (talk) 20:33, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Native language names

Could the native language name parameter be expanded to that a |native_lang1_name2= and |native_lang1_name3= and so on can be added to the infobox? Antiquistik (talk) 08:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's already up to 5 (native_lang2_name1, etc.). That's more than sufficient. DrKay (talk) 08:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DrKay: You misunderstood. I am asking for additional _name_ options rather than additional _lang_ options on the parameter. Antiquistik (talk) 12:53, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's obviously unnecessary. Just list them in the one parameter. DrKay (talk) 13:01, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 5 November 2024

I have observed that on many pages where this template is used, such as Elizabeth II or Charles III, the signature image is nearly unreadable in dark mode as it is a transparent image. I have found that Template:Infobox person does not suffer from this issue and appears to have been fixed by changing the signature image class. I have made this change in the sandbox for this template here, which can be seen to resolve the issue on the testcases page. Please could you make this change to the main template.

I wish to add support for upright to the infobox images. see the change below:

| image = {{#invoke:InfoboxImage|InfoboxImage|image={{{image|}}}|size={{{image_size|}}}|sizedefault=frameless|upright=1.0|alt={{{alt|}}}|suppressplaceholder=yes}}

replaced with:

| image = {{#invoke:InfoboxImage|InfoboxImage|image={{{image|}}}|size={{{image_size|}}}|sizedefault=frameless|upright={{{image_upright|1.0}}}|alt={{{alt|}}}|suppressplaceholder=yes}}
