Awards

edit

@Duncan.Hull:, if you don't think |honorific_suffix= should exist, I'd suggest proposing its removal at Template talk:Infobox scientist and/or Template talk:Infobox person. Until that happens though, suffixes are appropriately represented using that parameter rather than |awards=. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:48, 30 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Duncan.Hull: What I meant was that your edit had duplicated information by removing FRS from "awards" to "honorific_suffix". For clarity, the full name of the award (Fellow of the Royal Society) is more descriptive than the post nominal letters (which were already in the lead section anyway) Duncan.Hull (talk) 08:51, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
You don't seem to be reading the diffs properly. It was actually your edit that duplicated information, by presenting FRS in both |awards= and |honorific_suffix=. My edit removed that duplication, by ensuring that FRS was presented in only |honorific_suffix=. Your second sentence seems to be an argument against any use of |honorific_suffix=, which again should be made at Template talk:Infobox scientist and/or Template talk:Infobox person. Until that happens, postnominals are appropriately presented as postnominals. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:27, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
