Template talk:Infobox peerage title

Blazon parameter

I notice that a "blazon" parameter has recently been added to this template. It seems that if a value isn't given for this parameter it rather strangely shows the string {{{blazon}}} in the infobox. Shouldn't the template test for the existence of a value? - David Biddulph (talk) 01:00, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I believe that I have now addressed this point, but I'm not an expert on template syntax so if I've screwed it up please feel free to revert my edit. I wonder whether the same may be appropriate for some of the other parameters? - David Biddulph (talk) 01:10, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Well done, I was hoping this would be fixed by someone with the relevant competence but thought in the meantime the addition of the blazon line was a valuable addition. Works perfectly. I'm not sure if the problem exists for the other parameters - do they show as strings in the infobox if no content? (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 18:05, 8 April 2012 (UTC))

Is there any particular reason the example blazon parameter doesn't contain an actual blazon, only a caption? Here's what the blazon for the example looks like: Quarterly, first and fourth Sable, a lion rampant Argent armed and langued Gules, in a canton Argent a cross Gules; second and third, quarterly, first and fourth Argent, second and third Gules, a fret Or, overall on a bend Sable three clams Argent; overall in chief an escutcheon Argent, a cross Gules, surmounted by an inescutcheon Azure, three fleurs de lis Or.

Baronetage

FYI, I've expanded the template to be used by baronets as well, and updated the documentation. —Мандичка^YO 😜 08:53, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Merge discussion

@Galobtter: The template from the Baronetage - Peerage merge discussion should not be called "infobox nobility title". A baronetage is not a title of nobility. Please call it "infobox hereditary title" - thank you. —Мандичка^YO 😜 22:38, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Wikimandia, I said "or some other suitably named template" so whoever is doing the merge can after discussion merge to the best title, say {{infobox hereditary title}} Galobtter (pingó mió) 05:23, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

@Galobtter: right but you closed the discussion, so where was I supposed to point out it shouldn't be called that? Thanks. —Мандичка^YO 😜 15:04, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
