Post-nominals
Hi,

I noticed you've been adding post-nominal letters to a number of pages. The easy way to do this is with a template. If you look at the source code for the infobox of the "Edwin Lutyens" page, you'll see this:

That's a template. You can see its page here.

If you place the relevant letters in that template, the template will take care of linking to the correct page for each honour, avoiding disambiguation errors. It also tends to be more compact than linking each honour separately. There's an entry in the Manual of Style here.

 * Dear Jean-de-Nivelle
 * Thank you ever so much for getting in touch. I greatly appreciate your help and assistance. I shall try my best to look into what you have told me, though I am not the moat technical.
 * I have made it my duty to ensure rhat those who have recieved fine honours from the United Kingdom. My country are correctly remembered and have the correct post-nominals.
 * Kind regards 92.10.114.155 (talk) 22:02, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I'm no expert on this stuff though, so my advice may not be worth very much, and I suspect that there are cases where you may run into opposition.
 * Just to explain about disambiguation - If you look at the edit you made at "Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine", you can see that the edit is tagged with "Disambiguation links added". That's because "VA" can refer to more than one thing, and leads to a disambiguation page: "VA". You can make a link like this:  that will display the text "VA", but link to the correct page, or just use the template I mentioned before and the link is taken care of automatically.

 * PS One more thing - if you look at the "Edwin Lutyens" page, the post-nominal letters in the infobox (top right) go on their own line below the name, so copy that style if you're adding letters to an infobox. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 22:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

See Manual of Style/Biography and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography/2023 archive. Post-nominal letters should not be in the first sentence. Celia Homeford (talk) 08:57, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
