Description of suggested change: I request that the formatting ofnative_name be updated from bold to roman and the use of{{nobold}} be made obsolete here. I have yet to see a page that does not use that template inside it.
another person would likely need to automate the removal of the template if this request goes through.Juwan (talk)21:36, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

UnlinkTemplate:Infobox people, there is not disappearance parameters. Now I can't add disappearance date and place onDhirendranath Datta. Please add "disappeared_place" and "disappeared_date" parameters like infobox people.Mehedi Abedin20:44, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done for now: please establish aconsensus for this alterationbefore using the{{Edit template-protected}} template. That article is not a great example; the person's disappearance is neither sourced nor discussed in the article. –Jonesey95 (talk)14:10, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]|disappeared_date= be used on? Can you provide ten examples? If not, you probably won't get support. In the meantime, you can use|module= to embed a different infobox that supports|disappeared_date= if you have an article that contains sourced information about the disappearance of an officeholder. –Jonesey95 (talk)03:14, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply] | Thisedit request has been answered.

A "chiefminister" field should be added as there is many chief ministers such asChief Minister of the Isle of Man,Chief Minister of Jersey,Chief Minister of Guernsey. It would be used on the infoboxes of government ministers such as those onCouncil of Ministers of the Isle of Man.Sahaib (talk)08:23, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change:
The formatting of native names in this infobox is inconsistent with that of other biographical infoboxes (e.g. infobox person) -- as far as I can see, only officeholder bolds them; they are usually in regular type.
Demonstration provided (person on top, officeholder below). Could this template be changed for consistency?UndercoverClassicistT·C11:34, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
