In order to show the birth name as part of the "Birth" section as in template:infobox person. –DMartin 05:44, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Not done for now: looks like a consensus needs to be established for this alteration. Please garner the needed consensus before using the {{edit template-protected}}template again. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 10:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)- The birth name should be included with the "Birth" section. If this is the change to the code needed for that result, I'm for it. ~BappleBusiness[talk] 06:33, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 07:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- That would put "Died" before "Born" in the infobox so I think this needs further thought. I've put a test on Template:Infobox comedian/testcases#Mel Smith — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Make the title of the "birth name" parameter in nowrap, or some other way to make it on one line. It looks strange to have it on two lines, as people rarely have names that span two lines in normal zoom levels. Example of issue can be seen at George Carlin. --IWI (talk) 12:04, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

To any administrator, apply my edit to this infobox's sandbox: replace font-size: 125% in |abovestyle= with {{{abovestyle|}}}. Santiago Claudio (talk) 04:29, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Please explain the purpose of this edit. Also, I have removed the setting in the edit request saying that this is an edit request for Template:Infobox officeholder rather than Template:Infobox comedian. SilverLocust 💬 10:25, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

{{{abovestyle}}}in Template:Infobox person. Santiago Claudio (talk) 02:09, 16 August 2024 (UTC)- Please see my comment and questions are Template talk:Infobox writer. When you have a bunch of similar requests, it is generally better to post them somewhere centrally so each one does not generate its own discussion. Maybe something to consider in the future. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:35, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
