Template talk:Infobox architect

message: I have added 'significant design' because many architects also design other objects, such as "industrial design", funiture, glassware, clocks and even household objects.--TTKK 22:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Alma Matter 

message: Significant Buildings seems to display by default, even when left empty. Can this default action be removed?  I would like to add this InfoBox to Golf Course Architects instead of creating a brand new InfoBox. See: Rees Jones. Gamweb (talk) 17:52, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Significant Buildings 

message: The last four fields of the infobox (significant buildings, significant projects, significant design, awards and prizes) are a bit too long and get usually wraped into two lines, messing up the layout. I suggest removing the "significant" (since this is self-explanatory for an infobox); Eventually it could be reintroduced in the title bar (i.e. "Significant work"). I also think that Awards should suffice (prizes, medals and other honors are included); Elekhh (talk) 07:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Shorter field names

message: The format used for Birth Date and Place and Death Date and Place in Template:Infobox artist and Template:Infobox writer seems more space efficient and legible. I suggest replacing these in Infobox Architect in a similar way. Elekhh (talk) 06:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

message: There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Architecture/Archive 9#Family members in Infobox architect about the proposal to add fields for family members. --ELEKHHT 23:39, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Having read the lively discussion on WikiProject Architecture (now archived), I want to register Support for User:Pigsonthewing's inclusion of the parameters for parents, children, spouse, and partner. In many cases these constitute notable influences on the architect, and the many/all of the same parameters are used in Infobox Artist, Infobox engineer, and Infobox officeholder. For architects like Walter Gropius, Philip Johnson, and Gottfried Boem, who all married influential artits/architects in their own right, the partner/spouse parameters are particularly important.  The infobox is also significantly shorter than infoboxes for allied fields. Nickknack00 (talk) 00:44, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: RfC on [[Template talk:Infobox person|Template:Infobox person]]

message: The doc now advises use of , which requires a full date. However, as per WP:DOB the exact birth date should normally not be included in articles about living people unless it is widely published already, or has clearly been published with the approval of the person. Many editors seem to be automaically following this documetation and insertig full dates of birth where they should not. I have now included a warning about this in the doc.

thread_title:  Date of birth 

message: I would like to see the "other_names" parameter added to this Infobox. It is especially important for women architects, who often work under both a birth name and a married name at different stages of their career.Alafarge (talk) 18:08, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason we don't have a "resting place" parameter? Some of us like to visit the graves of famous architects. It's pretty standard on other people templates. - Kzirkel (talk) 14:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Resting place 

message: We need to have honorific_prefix and honorific_suffix appearing in the documentation. Confer Template:Infobox artist and Template:Infobox writer. --Omnipaedista (talk) 19:55, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Honorific prefix 

message: This wrapper doesn't have years_active (now used in Paolo Soleri) which seems quite reasonable. I also see requests above for resting_place, and the honorifics which all common in other bios. I don't see any reason to think they would be controversial to add here.   or , would one of you add these. Thanks. MB 23:50, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added years_active and resting_place. honorific_prefix and honorific_suffix were already supported. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:11, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Years_active 

message: This template does not have , or . If an architect is particularly noted for a style of work, shouldn't that be significant for the infobox. MB 14:19, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Movement 

message: The template doesn't allow you to embed other infoboxes within, or for it to be embedded in other infoboxes. Also, there is currently no way to reference non-spouse, children, parent relations. Suggest these get added to make this template more useful overall. --Engineerchange (talk) 01:31, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You can use  and embed  to add those parameters to an architect infobox. Use  on the person infobox. MB 02:29, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: , I took my own advice here and embedded IB person into IB architect at James Playfair and the result is a little clunky with the ordering of the data. It would be better to just add  here. The obove comment says partner/children/parents are missing but they are there, we only need relatives added. MB 04:01, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
