Missing parameter

There should be an "influenced" parameter, as there is in {{Infobox scientist}} — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leão Valraios (talk • contribs) 05:21, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Leão Valraios: The parameter was removed as the result of an RFC; see there for the reasons. Wikiacc (¶) 15:36, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IDEAS / RePEc from Wikidata?

Could we have this template retrieve IDEAS / RePEc information from RePEc Short-ID (P2428) on Wikidata? --bender235 (talk) 14:42, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To my knowledge, there's no Wikidata item corresponding to repec_prefix. And IDEAS pages, which appear to require the prefix, are better-formatted than the Author Service pages which don't, e.g., [1] compared to [2]. Wikiacc (¶) 21:55, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Field for Books / Notable works

Hello, Am I missing these fields, should I be looking elsewhere? Thanks. Ktin (talk) 17:21, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request that the Alma Mater parameter moved up

Can someone move the alma mater parameter out of the academic career (up into the same space nationality/birth date/etc). Academic career starts after a person finishes their educational training - also most other infoboxes don't ground the parameter so low as this one does.

Wikidata automatization ?

Hi, I am trying to contribute on Wikidata around social sciences themes. In case you want to automatize this infobox at some point, it may be interesting to create new properties. I started to list relevant properties here : Wikidata:WikiProject Wikidata for research/Data models/Social science results.

Wrap Template: Infobox academic

This template should probably wrap the more-specific Template: Infobox academic instead of just "person", since there's a lot of overlap. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 18:05, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Closed Limelike Curves and others: I have a sandbox version of this template that wraps {{Infobox academic}} (which accepts all parameters accepted by that template). You can see the changes in the test cases. The main change is that "Academic career" is now split into "Academic background" (e.g. "Alma Mater" and "Influences") and "Academic work". "Contributions" has turned into "Notable ideas".

Please take a look at let me know what you think --- if this reaches consensus, I will promote to main. — hike395 (talk) 18:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me! no breaking changes, right? – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No breaking changes: all parameters are supported, just rearranged (and some with different labels). No data will be lost. — hike395 (talk) 03:02, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
