I've made a change, feel free to discuss if you think it should be changed back, however this seems to be pretty much the standard. --Mistress Selina Kyle 03:43, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A website link in an infobox is pretty standard, where it makes sense. Look at Template:Infobox City, Template:Infobox School, Template:Infobox Company.   Celebrities are their own companies, in a very real sense.  -- Netoholic @ 07:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Is there a way that someone could add the fields "Birth_name" and "Alias" to the Celebrity Infobox Template, as seen in other Infobox Templates such as "Infobox musical artist"?  Thank you for your time, Smeelgova 20:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is this template being used on historical persons like Benjamin Franklin. Why is this template needed instead of a common Infobox Person? Why is this infobox needed at all? —Centrx→talk • 20:45, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Given that the page name gives the individual's name, and then it is usually in the first line of the text in bold, is it really necessary to have a name field in the infobox also?

message: There is a template pertaining to age of the person. Template:Age is very useful. What are your thoughts on this? Ali KarbassiView my contribs and talk pages.01:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Some biographies name their children in this template (e.g., Brit Hume and Bill O'Reilly), while others (like Mary Sue Hubbard and John Edward) simply give the number of children the person has. I recommend that we standardize this in one of three ways:
# List the names of all children whose names are known (and avoid listing children with unknown names)
# List the names of all children who have their own articles (and avoid listing other children)
# Give the number of children, but leave names to the article itself
I prefer 1 and 3. Suggestions? — Elembis 16:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there consensus about placing flags in the fields for places of birth and death? There's a minor cycle of reversion going on in Steve Irwin, and I'd like to find out what people think about using them: not at all, at the front, before the country, or at the end? —C.Fred (talk) 14:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no consensus, no, someone just added a flag to an article one day and it seems to have duplicated all over the Wiki like a swarm of locusts. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 14:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: How do we get rid of the year of birth thing? I'm trying to get rid of it entirely from one, but it won't let me. Even when all the birth date etc headers are removed, it still says "born" when saved. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Does anyone know how to get rid of this? There are BLP issues on some articles, where people don't want their date of birth to be posted. But because we can't remove "date of birth =" on the infobox, people keep adding it. SlimVirgin (talk) 07:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be practical just to post the year of birth. Birth date being a required field is common among people infoboxes. --PhantomS 07:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Edits made. Not being particularly familiar with the template or the class, is all the inline style information for the footnotes section now redundant? EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, and no; the class "note" has no styles applied to it, it's purely for labelling data. Andy Mabbett 22:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to get the Infobox template to get to work in my personal wiki, created with WikiMedia, but I can's find the extension php-script and demanded edits for LocalSettings.php. Can anyone tell me where to find those? All I can come up with is the use of the template inside WikiPedia, but that doesn't work with WikiMedia 1.10.--Bjrndlw 11:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: There is wrong grammer used in the death date and age of this template. It displays as "aged #" after the date. Shouldn't it be "age #"? INFORMATION CENTER© (T • C) 05:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a dispute as to whether what a person does, and is known for, is necessarily an occupation.  Perhaps not, but if "known for" were added, it would resolve the problem, even if this isn't merged with .  — Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 23:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Name" of the subject is listed above and outside the infobox. Can that be moved into the infobox to be more consistent with other infoboxes such as Template:Infobox Biography, Template:Infobox actor, Template:Infobox company (upon which this is supposed to be based)? I find it disconcerting to have the name floating above the box. ZueJay (talk) 14:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
