Template talk:Infobox monarchy

message: I moved the arms back to the top of the infobox for the simple reason that it looked graphically strange to see them below the other info, especially in the context of an article.  I hope there was no logistical reason to move them to the bottom. --G2bambino 21:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The standard text describing the coat of arms should be disabled or altered. The text used for the Danish monarch is factually incorrect. Nobody uses the term "in right of Denmark" and that's not the worst, the title is factually incorrect. The Danish monarch uses a personal coat of arms which is specified by royal decree as dissimilar to the national coat of arms. This private coat of arms is nothing more than a personal symbol, just like the insignia of a noble family. It doesn't represent her "rights" to anything and the mere term sounds very UK-centric.

replies: text: My original intentions as the creator of this template was for the Commonwealth realm monarchies, not for other monarchies. However I believe that I can add more "codes" so that non commonwealth monarchies can be included. nattang 21:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Another think I do not think this is correct see British monarchy Arms of Her Majesty in Right of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is not the correct title for the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom --Barryob  Vigeur de dessus 05:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well then, maybe it should be changed so they all read "Royal Coat of Arms of [country]." Either format is correct, however. --G2bambino 15:58, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you change it ? I had a look at the syntax and would not know where to start. --Barryob  Vigeur de dessus 16:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

text: It's still wrong. Some of the arms shown are state arms not royal arms. DrKay (talk) 08:14, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In a monarchy, where the sovereign is the state, what's the difference? --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 17:28, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The arms of the state and the arms of the monarch are not the same, see for example Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain, the Vatican. Liechtenstein and Sweden have lesser arms that are used as a national coat of arms as well as greater arms that are used as both a national coat of arms and the arms of the monarch. Many of the arms shown on the Commonwealth monarchy articles are not designated as royal arms but as national or state arms. DrKay (talk) 18:36, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't comment on arms in countries that aren't Commonwealth realms; but, for those that are, my question still stands: when the monarch is the personification of the state, what's the difference between the arms of the sovereign and the arms of the state? --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 18:47, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: We shouldn't assume that the arms of the Commonwealth realms are different from or the same as other states or each other. That would be original research. Arms should only be labelled or presented as royal arms when there are reliable sources saying that they are that. Currently, an assumption is made that in all Commonwealth realms the national arms are royal arms, but given that we know in other countries the national arms are not royal arms, in the absence of a source saying otherwise this is not a safe assumption to make. DrKay (talk) 20:31, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. But I hope that same expectation extends to all those arms you're calling state arms. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 21:00, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I believe that there should be section in the infobox where the flag of the monarchy is place if necessary. This may allow readers to identify, the subject's flag easily. Maglame 09:33, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

message: The :Template:Infobox former monarchy has not "small" (in "Style:" and others). Why this template has small? --IM-yb (talk) 18:31, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Small 

message: I've made a ham-fisted attempt at adding a field to the template and failed. I hope someone with greater ability can add an "armsnote", to allow for a bracketed note below the coat of arms caption. This is being requested specifically for the use of the box at Monarchy of Canada, where the image of Canada's arms being used is (for copyright reasons) not the "official" one, which some editors are concerned about. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 17:47, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: Would it be warranted to add "traditional" or "non-sovereign" as an option in the border field (such as for the monarchies of Buganda which are recognized by a government but have no real power)? Also, would it be possible to change the border color depending on the type selected? HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 18:07, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
