Currently the "Senator" infobox at Carte Goodwin looks awful because his picture is only 121 pixels across and the infobox is stretching it larger, resulting in a blurry picture. We're stuck waiting for a larger-resolution picture to be available. Alternatively, could it be possible to add a flag of some sort to this infobox instructing it to not stretch a small picture to become larger to fit? Comet Tuttle ( talk) 17:35, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Can we optionally customise the signature image's size? At the moment there is a standard 128px size, which can be far too large (see
John Key). Can we replace the current '128px' with {{{signature_size|128px}}}
?

Would anyone else support the addition of a net worth parameter as in {{infobox person}}? My particular interest in this arises in the specific case of wanting to be able to add net worth to Richard Blumenthal which uses this template where his opponent in the election, Linda McMahon's article, uses {{infobox person}} and incorporates net worth information (at least when it hasn't been edited out).

Am I right to believe that honorific-prefix is always separated by a break line from the name? I removed a break line with this edit and an editor complained in my bot's talk page. The question is if there is supposed to always be a break line then we should add it to template's source code. Opinions? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 19:27, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
The same goes for the leading <br> in honorific-suffix and the small tags to both of them. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 08:56, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

( ←) Also, I think that maybe we could expand this proposal to include a parameter for "district" as well. MitchellDuce ( talk) 19:34, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
So does anyone have any problem with the parameter itself, as opposed to how the parameter could be used inappropriately? MitchellDuce ( talk) 19:50, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Surely there should be parameters for Vice Chancellors and Vice Premiers, those offices do exist in Austria, Germany, the People's Republic of China, and the Republic of China, as far as I'm aware. I made a prior request, but was told to manually add it by the 1blankname, 1namedata parameters. This I feel is inconvenient and would be much easier to add if those offices were made parameters.-- The Taerkasten ( talk) 14:22, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
vicepremier
at least already seems to be supported. This is very hairy code and it shouldn't really be edited lightly. Can you please confirm if vicepremier
works first? Multiple edits will need to be made both to this template and the sub-template it calls in order to add new parameters, and I'd rather not go making edits that aren't needed.

I've noticed that the "succeeding" parameter does not function properly in conjunction with "state_house", "state_senate", "state_assembly" or "state_delegate". For example, Rich Gordon's infobox should read "Member-elect of the California State Assembly". Instead, it's displayed as "Member-elect of the U.S. House of Representatives district". Can someone have a go at fixing it? Many thanks. -- Lincolnite ( talk) 05:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
This line of Infobox officeholder/Office puts office in brackets as a wikilink, which is not how it's treated otherwise.

And can we finally change Alma Mater to "Education", if it needs to be blue linked, and the blue link definition is still nebulous, we have a problem as to which college to list when one has attended multiple. We don't use "Domicile" so why have this one in Latin. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 06:57, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi everyone,
The template is putting "in office" for people who have a term end date.
This is wrong.
For example, for George W. Bush, the template says he is still "in office" as President of the United States. Also, he is still "in office" as Governor of Texas.
I suggest that this could be changed in {{ Infobox officeholder/Office}}:
-- Kevinkor2 ( talk) 16:03, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
If {{{succeeding}}} is set, then //The person will take office at some future time. Output: '''Taking office'''<br />{{{termstart}}} Else if {{{term}}} is set, then //Complex situation. Use the provided term. Output: '''In office'''<br />{{{term}}} If {{{termstart}}} is set, then If {{{termend}}} is set, then //The person has left office or is scheduled to leave office by termend. Output: '''In office'''<br />{{{termstart}}} - {{{termend}}} If {{{alongside}}} is set, then //The person is serving alongside another. Output: <br />Serving with [[{{{alongside}}}]] Else, //The term is ongoing. Output: '''[[Incumbent]]''' Output: '''Assumed office '''<br />{{{termstart}}} If {{{alongside}}} is set, then //The person is serving alongside another.

I'm trying to radically update the U.S. State Senate and then U.S. State House Pages with the Members of the incoming houses, In some States there is a position in the Upper House known as the President of the State Senate, I do not understand why I cannot add this. I feel we could add this just like we can add Speaker of the State House. The Other thing I want to know is, is it possible to combine people who have both served in the State House and Senate, like Make one Template out of it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.150.190.94 ( talk) 05:46, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Why is there a children parameter but not one for parents? We should have both, or none. Why is going down a generation important, and going up a generation NOT important? -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 03:09, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Would anyone else prefer the "parents" parameter restored?
I would change it, to be less US-centric, but I don't know how. There's no reason why it has to be US-centric and I have to use CanadianMP. NorthernThunder ( talk) 08:20, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I would like to add an optional content line "Key Assignments" for those military service members who have not held command and therefore the "Commands Held" label is not appropriate. I am editing VADM Dorsett's wiki page, and he has instructed me to use the "Key Assignment" label vice "Commands Held". Please help.

Hm, not quite. The parameters 'parliament' and 'constituency_MP' previously produced the following infobox text:
Member of the [[New Zealand Parliament]] for {{{constituency_MP}}}
What it should do is:
Member of the [[Parliament of New Zealand|New Zealand Parliament]] for {{{constituency_MP}}}
What it now does is:
[[Parliament of New Zealand]] for {{{constituency_MP}}}
Hope it's easy to fix. Schwede 66 18:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
