Template talk:Infobox vice-regal

message: What is the logic behind the current set up of the template? As far as I know, Canada is the only Commonwealth realm where the Governor(-)General has a distinctive crest. It makes sense to display the emblems featured on the flags of Lt Governors of Canadian provinces, which include the shield of the provincial arms, but the emblems are not simply the shield. Even if "shield" is a fair description in this case, it shouldn't be applied in other situations, such as Australian states. The emblem displayed at Governors of New South Wales doesn't even include the shield from the arms, but is a crown over the state badge. I am not even aware that this emblem is used apart from in the flag - perhaps using the flag would be better, but in any case, the infobox should not insist on a "shield" just because the Canadian emblems include them.

replies: text: The Governor-General of Canada does not have a crest, as there is no coat of arms for the office of Governor-General. The Governor-General uses on her flag part of the crest of the Royal Arms of Canada. At most it is a badge of the Governor-General, not a crest. This should be relabelled.

message: I have removed "The Right Honourable" from the Australian style, in line with comments left at Talk:Governor-General of Australia. While I can see the attraction of automatically generating the style based on the status of the realm/state/etc., the fact that we have to go to the level of country by country cases does sort of defeat the point of a template. Why not leave the style field to be filled in by the editors of each article? JPD (talk) 10:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've made a few botched attempts at getting the hyphen in Governor-General to disappear on the Canadian Governor General page, but without any luck at all. Can someone with better knowledge of html code than I possibly make the template display correctly on that article (as the title Governor General is not hyphenated in Canada). Cheers. --Miesianiacal (talk) 05:22, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Would it be possible to create an infobox FORMER vice-regal?I could have used it for the Viceroy of Norway article, but as this template is today I couldn't. One would think that most Viceroys were in the past anyway. -- Nidator T / C 12:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The colours in the header of this template, purple on purple, are highly inaccessible, being low-contrast, and fail the guidelines described at WP:COLOUR at even the most basic level. I removed them, but have been reverted. We should make our articles as accessible as practically possible; there is no need to keep this style.
