Hi, I propose that instead of having separate equations for: "King", "Queen", "Monarch" and "President", we should have one "Leader_title" and another "Leader_name".

Font size
I think the fonts could be made a bit smaller, like the Taxonomy and Presidents templates. BrianCo 18:29, 8 July 2007 (EDT)
- Good idea; I hadn't thought about it. Done. Philip J. Rayment 02:31, 9 July 2007 (EDT)
Several leader equations
Hi, I propose that instead of having separate equations for: "King", "Queen", "Monarch" and "President", we should have one "Leader_title" and another "Leader_name". What do you think --Andersmusician 21:15, 21 July 2007 (EDT)
- Hello Andersmusician, and welcome to Conservapedia.
- I'm an administrator here (and the creator of this template), but my following comments are as a fellow editor, not as an administrator.
- I think the main advantage of your proposal is that it simplifies the template code, and shortens the text you added that is to be copied and pasted to article pages.
- But this comes at the expense of more work by those using the template. Instead of putting in queen=Elizabeth II, for example, they would then have to put leader_title=Queen and leader_name=Elizabeth II. So less work for the creator of the template (except that it's done now, so it's not really less work at all), and more work for the user of the template.
- Furthermore, the current design is for the "Monarch" row of the table to show "Queen Elizabeth II", but for the "President" row to show "George W. Bush". That is, the title of the former is in the second column, but the title of the latter is in the first column. I'm not sure that's absolutely necessary, but it seems to me to be the right way to do it.
- Finally, I'll point out that there is no "monarch" parameter anyway. The only "monarch" parameter is the "monarch-raw" parameter, which is an alternative to "king" and "queen" when something different needs to be done with the linking (there is also an alternative for "president": "president-raw").
- What do others think?
