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}}

Description of suggested change:

Would it be possible to have "Personal details" as a heading, at the moment in the info box above "Born" there is no heading, just a purple line. For other infoboxes we have a "Personal details" heading, so makes sense for this to be the case here too?

Diff: Diogo Costa (talk) 01:51, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why we need an extra line for no added value. Infoboxes should be short. DrKay (talk) 07:39, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue for readability and consistency with other Infoboxes. Diogo Costa (talk) 11:35, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a 'Personal details' section at Template:Infobox person, which is the parent infobox of this one, or one at Template:Infobox military person or Template:infobox noble or many other biographical infoboxes. This is the consistent style. DrKay (talk) 11:48, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting because it does show up on Template:Infobox officeholder, so you'll see in my articles of country leaders across the world. Diogo Costa (talk) 11:58, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish monarchs

For Scottish monarchs, the Coronation parameter only applies to monarchs starting with David II of Scotland. All kings (no queens in their own right existed) before David II went through an Inauguration ceremony per the Gaelic succession rules. So, could we have an Inauguration parameter for these individuals. Presumably, if agreed, that would involve having Inauguration1, Inauguration2, and Inauguration3 parameters as well.

There's one already, through the cor-type parameter. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:57, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect. Bill Reid | (talk) 15:21, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add parameter 'order' Could you add an "order" parameter like the one in Template:Infobox officeholder? It would be useful in tracking the order of monarchs in a country that has/had a lot of them (e.g. Portugal).Oos88 (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. Order parameters must only be used when there is a well-established use of such numbering in reliable sources. DrKay (talk) 18:43, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
