Template talk:Infobox person ii

I think it will need to go one category up for place of birth and place of death. So that "Rochester" will be "Rochester, New York". What do you think? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 02:01, 4 October 2015 (UTC)


 * This template has been made in order to display dual information, and wikidata information should stay raw, for example both gregorian and julian dates are displayed, if found. If we are do do more, that would be to add more items like artist, scientist, athlet etc wikidata.··  ManosHacker 20:13, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * "wikidata information should stay raw" I am not sure what that means. "Rochester" is not useful but "Rochester, New York" would be sufficient in an infobox if the goal is to automate the process of generating a useful infobox so it does not have to be written by hand in each of the languages. It is more complex to generate the two locations. "Rochester" gets generated from the entry on the person and "New York" gets generated from the entry on "Rochester". --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:03, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * No, you don't have to generate from two entries. In Susan B. Anthony, for example, the call  returns Rochester (P20=place of death). The call   returns Rochester . It is no more difficult to get a fully disambiguated and linked place name than it is to get the raw text, which may be ambiguous. The first call always returns the name of the article in that language wikipedia or a link to the Wikidata entry if the article does not yet exist in that language. --RexxS (talk) 22:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
