Template talk:Infobox fraternity

message: Thank you ! I have added it to Alpha Phi Omega. I added affiliation to the list of acceptable parameters at the bottom. Let's see how that works and see how much need there is for affiliation2.Naraht (talk) 22:27, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: I've just added the affiliation param to several of the NAPA fraternities.  Looking at Beta Chi Theta they are members of both NAPA and the NIC.  Does use of both acronyms separate by a comma, does this negate their Wikilinks, requiring manual links? Jax MN (talk) 13:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

text: Yes, it will negate the wikillinks. That's (and Alpha Phi Alpha and the other NPHC/NIC groups) was the reason that affiliation2 was also proposed.Naraht (talk) 14:58, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Working!

message: So, what would affilation2 look like. Same as affiliation, but if it exists, it would simply have ' and ' and then the same set as the first? Also, we know of at least 5 groups that need two groups (Beta Chi Theta and the NPHC Fraternities other than Omega Psi Phi) how many more? I'm excluding the entries where one or both is a "former" (the ACHS crossovers with the PFA(and its predecessors) would actually be the worst). Do we have any triple affiliations?Naraht (talk)
:Oh, yeah, forgot about that. I can add it in. Primefac (talk) 22:03, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I cannot think of a triple affiliation.  Such a situation would be expensive, and I know the major fraternities well enough to know their affiliations, limited to one or two. Jax MN (talk) 03:33, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Affilation2

message: I've gone through all of the entires in :Category:Pages using infobox fraternity with non-matching name and there are 29 left that either I'm OK with the non-matching (like alpha Kappa Delta Phi or am torn as to whether or not to change. Note for a few of them, the name in the infobox is actually shorter than the page name like Adelante Fraternity. In some cases, oddly the solution seems to be to change the page name to match what is in the infobox. Please let me know if you think any of them should be changed in some way or go ahead and do so.  Oddly this has really brought home how much a few of the groups that use the template are *very* different from the stereotypical examples with Greek Letters or part of that collegiate culture.Naraht (talk) 02:37, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , it appears you are asking for support, and I concur.  I urge changes to the page names where it will aid in clarity.  For example, I don't mind that the Philippine groups have that country name modifier in their article names.  As for the various secret societies without standard-style Greek Letter names, these may actually benefit (~more clarity) from use of the word "Fraternity", even though that would be an exception to our general rule.  I.e.: the Adelante Fraternity. Acacia (fraternity) is another example. Jax MN (talk) 03:29, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Re: the status param, I do not see it expressed among the other parameters of the template found on the Template:Infobox fraternity article, which is the template I'd always used when writing GLO articles.  Is this an omission?  I've not spent much time looking into the metastructure of where template markup language is derived.  Jax MN (talk) 17:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll be honest, I never update /doc pages, usually because I'm doing a flyby TPER request and don't know how folks want to display the param. This time I just sort of forgot, mainly because of that habit. Primefac (talk) 11:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
