"website" field appearing under "Senior posting" heading?

Latest comment: 8 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The presence of a value for "website" field causes it to appear under the "Senior posting" heading even when no posting related fields (e.g. post, predecessor, successor) are filled in. Like signature, I was expecting it to appear under "Personal". Use case: Pomnyun.

"Military service" heading?

Latest comment: 24 days ago5 comments2 people in discussion

The entries for Church and Order appear in the infobox under the heading "Military service". That seems wrong. AxelBoldt (talk) 14:32, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Please link to an affected article. You might find that there is an embedded infobox. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:27, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

The infobox at the top of the template page itself shows the "Military service" heading. Here's an example in the wild: https:https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=Benedetta_Carlini&oldid=1220882397 AxelBoldt (talk) 17:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Something seems to have been glued together incorrectly over the years, and you may be the first one to notice. I removed a duplicate rendering of |footnotes= that was appearing in the middle of the infobox, and I replaced it with a header called "Organization", which may not be the ideal wording to put above "Temple / Order / Institute / Church / Founder of / Philosophy". Suggestions are welcome for the wording of that header. More extensive reorganization can be performed in the sandbox. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into this! Everything would break down without template hackers :-) Personally, I would put Temple/Order/Church etc. (and also Teacher) under the "Personal" header, where we already list Religion. AxelBoldt (talk) 19:54, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
