Should "Princess Mary" be changed to "Princess Marie"? Someone from katoufs.com has written Wikipedia suggesting that it should; I'm not sure which according to naming conventions would be proper. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 06:50, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
We're in a massive foulup here due to the re-use of female names in the Greek branch of the Oldenburg/Glucksburgs (there are two Olgas and three Alexandras); the article for Prince Michael of Greece contains one of each, and when they were linked, they both linked to the wrong person. Fervent and incautious editing and renaming by two editors whom I won't name, and a tie-in to the massive dust-up going on over Russian consorts, has exacerbated the problem. Not sure what the right fix is, I'm trying to research Wikipedia policy on this at the moment. Alexandra I was married to a Russian Grand Duke, and Alexandra II was the consort to the King of Yugoslavia, so the applicable set of policies is wonderfully complicated.

Discussion (and comments) moved to Talk:Princess Alexandra of Greece.
This template is overwhelming some of the pages it's being put on (see, for instance, Alexandra Yurievna), for a couple of reasons.
I agree, most of the dyansty templates are getting a bit out of hand. I started a few by simply copying and modifying existant ones for other houses. What would be great is if we could have an "expand" link next to each sovereign which would work exactly how the show/hide Table of Contents does. I've had a go at using some code to try and put it in the article but I think we need access to a .css/js subpage before it could happen (and I'm not an expert with html anyway). If anyone knows any Wikieditors that are good with html and xsl codes, then perhaps we could ask if they can implement the code if it's possible (without totally revamping Wikipedia's .css rules of course).

"The House of Oldenburg (Glucksburg-Greece)" is in my eyes an unnecessarily complex and mixed wording. In other words, pure crap. As header, something like Royal House of Greece would be much better. Will we have a rebellion of extreme-republican Greeks here if such is to come into use? Arrigo 00:14, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
I added this image to the template. I have secured the proper permissions to use this image. Argos'Dad 14:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Should King Charles III be added as a great-grandchild of King George I of Greece? 172.197.202.179 ( talk) 13:48, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
