Template talk:Infobox clergy

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Infobox clergy and Template:Infobox religious biography are redundant with each other, since they serve the same purpose (technical clergy would be a subset of religious biography). The latter has probably more parameters than it needs, the former probably too few. The latter needs conversion to infobox person which the latter provides, while the latter needs more parameter documentation which the former has.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  07:17, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Partner

[edit]

Could the partner parameter ({{{home_town|}}}) be added for cases where the subject has a long-term (or otherwise particularly significant) partner to whom the subject was not married? Thanks, 142.160.89.97 (talk) 04:00, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I'm assuming that you meant |partner=. – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:39, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Laicization

[edit]

Could a "Laicized" parameter be added immediately underneath the "Ordained" parameter, along with an option to use the spelling "Laicised" (as is done with the "Organization"/"Organisation" parameters in {{Infobox person}})?

For those unfamiliar, laicization is where a church returns a member of the clergy to the lay state (cf. clerical state) and forbids them from exercising ordained ministry. For subjects who have been laicized, the date of laicization is probably just as important as the date of ordination. Without such a parameter, the infobox is rather misleading in the cases of laicized subjects as one could be led to believe that a subject continued (or continues, in the case of a living subject) to exercise ordained ministry given that, in most Christian traditions, ordained ministry is regarded as a lifelong affair.

I would have supplied the necessary code, but it appears the template does not have a sandbox. That being said, it shouldn't be difficult to use the code for the "Organization"/"Organisation" parameters in {{Infobox person}} mutatis mutandis. cc: Jonesey95 142.160.89.97 (talk) 06:31, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: I've created the sandbox. Please feel free to reactivate the request when you're done tinkering. Izno (talk) 20:45, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno: No tinkering needed – it was fairly straightforward. It should be good to go in the sandbox. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 05:26, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I know it was probably straightforward--I just wanted to ease future work for unregistered users like yourself. --Izno (talk) 14:26, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citizenship

[edit]

I tried to use this category, which is given in the template, but the system did not recognize it. Has it been removed? Daniel the Monk (talk)

Ecclesiastical career

[edit]

I may be mistaken, but there appears to be something going on with the first line of the source that is causing certain pages (e.g. Girolamo Savonarola) to display the text "Ecclesiastical career" at the very beginning. Being unversed in all things template-wise, I was wondering if there might be some way to amend this? GalacticShoe (talk) 01:33, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
