The WikiData entry for  has (more recent) values for population. Since WikiData is rather easier to update than a MediaWiki template (especially for muggles), surely there is a way to have Wikipedia retrieve the relevant data from WikiData, and even recompute the the related statistics (such as the population ranking position). This does seem to be what WikiData is for. I would do this myself, if I knew how; it seems like deep template wizardry, though. Thanks for your attention.

thread_title: To add to article

message: I've noticed recently that an IP editor has changed the term Monarch in the side bar to 'Duke of Normandy'. I question the aptness of this and would like to hear the views of other editors (including the editor who made the edit if they would wish to) so we can determine the correct way forward and attempt to establish a consensus on the use of 'Duke of Normandy'. If we are to recognise that as the correct title, then I think for consistency's sake that needs to be used across the island's articles.
I can see that the article is linked to (a now outdated) page on royal.uk which states "In the Channel Islands The Queen is known as The Duke of Normandy. At official functions, islanders raise the loyal toast to 'The Duke of Normandy, our Queen'.".
However, there is some debate over the use of this title. Some sources argue that as Henry III renounced the title, the British monarch has no right to use it, except in a historic sense. Channel TV: https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2022-09-09/why-do-channel-islanders-call-the-queen-the-duke-of-normandy. Jerripedia quotes an article from the Jersey and Guernsey Law Review which argues the title was given up in 1259, and since then the job of the French monarch to issue the title (to a Frenchman, not an Englishman) and that the King is the sovereign of Jersey in right of being the Monarch, not the Duke of Normandy. There is no legal recognition of a distinct royal title in Jersey and the use of Duke of Normandy is "a piece of harmless after-dinner whimsy".
I would definitely argue that in common usage the King (/Queen) is more commonly referred to as monarch by the island rather than Duke of Normandy.
Therefore I would argue that the word in the infobox should be "Monarch" and not "Duke of Normandy", also in line with other territories in which Charles III is King. Jèrriais janne (talk) 19:58, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Having just attended the proclamation there was certainly no mention of Duke of Normandy. I would say 'Monarch' is definitely more appropriate. Jèrriais janne (talk) 13:14, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: correction : having rewatched the video, it seems the Bailiff says "His Majesty, our Duke", so maybe Duke may therefore be appropriate. unsure, and hence would like to hear others opinions. Jèrriais janne (talk) 15:09, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed at least two instances in the Bailiff's speech: "His Majesty King Charles III sits on the throne, and is our Sovereign and our Duke" and then later "to bless His Majesty, our Duke with long and happy years".  The Queen was often referred to as both ("the Queen, our Duke") when I was growing up, so I'm not necessarily saying which one the infobox should use. Bratch (talk) 15:49, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The title 'Duke of Normandy' doesn't actually exist now; Islanders use it because it reminds them of their Norman origins. Therefore, monarch is correct. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Duke of Normandy' 

message: @Mikebisson  Hi, I want to clarify whether your intention with recent changes to the article is that the "Bailiwick of Jersey" is an incorrect/contentious secondary title for Jersey or to change the scope of the article to refer to the physical island of Jersey ("the Jersey mainland" so to speak, sans Les Minquiers or L'islet/Elizabeth Castle etc.)?
If the former, it would be worth sharing the sources for such a contention, as I'm not aware of one, though I suppose it could be argued that "Bailiwick of Jersey" is simply an anachronistic title, but I don't know of any source to back that up.
If the latter, that would entail a change of this article's historic scope from the Crown Dependency of Jersey (which, of course, includes the islets and reefs other than Jersey) to the physical feature, the island of Jersey. [Note: I was the instigator of an inverse of this discussion on French Wikipedia a couple of years ago, which resulted in the merging of previously separate articles of the island and Crown Dependency: , not that this dictates how English Wikipedia should be organised]. If so, I would say a proper discussion of the merits/implications of such a change would be beneficial before any such change is made. Jèrriais janne (talk) 17:51, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
