Template talk:Infobox Christian leader

Template-protected edit request on 31 May 2022
Under Template:Infobox Christian leader, it should be noted that setting the parameter Type will alter the colour of the heading. Colorboxes could be a useful way to illustrate this.

Current text: Type of leader (Priest, Pope, Cardinal, Antipope, or Coptic Pope). If the leader is none of these, leave blank to default to Bishop.

Suggested text: Type of leader (Priest, Pope, Cardinal, Antipope, or Coptic Pope). If the leader is none of these, leave blank to default to Bishop. The heading background will change to, , and. OJH (talk) 15:10, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Parents
Infobox person comes with this explanation/guidance for the parents parameter:



Infobox Christian leader does not include the same guidance about notability/relevance of the parents. Should the guidance for Infobox Christian leader be updated for the parents parameter to match that in Infobox person? I think it should since the purpose of any infobox is to summarize key points (see MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE) and including the names of non-notable/not-relevant parents seems, to me, not to be summarizing key points. I invite others to discuss here. Archer1234 (talk) 12:32, 1 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree that these should be the inclusion criteria. Elizium23 (talk) 12:52, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * While my question has not generated much discussion in the month since I asked it, there has been no disagreement, so I intend, later today, to update the documentation as indicated. If anyone disagrees, they can revert the update and come here to discuss further. – Archer1234 (talk) 15:57, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

New parameter
Hello,

For the Eastern Catholic bishops(or Eparchs as they are called), they lead Eparchies and not Dioceses even though they serve the same function. Can somebody add a parameter to the template which states that, eg. "| eparchy = ". Thank You....

 * Support. I agree with this as well. There should be an alternative option for "diocese"/"eparchy", like with the "elected"/"appointed" parameter. The same goes for the Eastern Orthodox clergy as well. Governor Sheng (talk) 14:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - agree this is appropriate and worth implementing. &mdash; Archer1234  (t·c) 15:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

URL details beneath the personal section
Friends, need some direction, please. The Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, any many evangelical church leaders have personal websites.

I'm trying to include one for the Superintendent of Wesley Mission in Sydney, Stu Cameron. Having used the Christian leader infobox for the job, I'm afraid I'm having difficulty adding it in. (Feel free to edit if you can see what I have inadvertently messed up.)

Is it a case of having that field included here in the template? I imagine at the bottom of the infobox. Archer1234 or any other experienced editor here, would be very grateful for guidance here. MatthewDalhousie (talk) 06:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @MatthewDalhousie, while not very elegant this code added to the infobox might work for your purpose:


 * which will appear something like the first example to the right:


 * If you want to display a label different than the link itself, do not use URL, but rather brackets like this:

which appears like the second example to the right:

 * @Archer1234 that's terrific, shall give it a go now. Thanks for the response and the help.
 * MatthewDalhousie (talk) 00:57, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Success! The URL itself isn't pretty, but the information is there on the article, all neat enough, and all in the right places. Thank you again @Archer1234 MatthewDalhousie (talk) 01:39, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Moving parameter
Please could previous_post be moved up the infobox to sit directly below other_post? Its clearly being used on many articles as part of the religious career summary and so should be in the top bit of the the infobox. Its original intended purpose was an alternative to profession with important pre-religious posts; this is reflected in its current position under the personal life section of the infobox.
