Template talk:Infobox Hindu leader

Clarification

Hi, what exactly is "honors" and "footnote" supposed to be? What type of information fits under those categories? Ekantik ^talk 02:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Image size

This template needs a function for image size as in other info boxes (Ekabhishek (talk) 07:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC))

header color

Hi, I will be changing the color of the name bar to a lighter one present in the Template:Hindu philosophy, I think the lighter color blends well with the black heading. Other editors kindly review this. — Nvineeth ^talk 10:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

+field image caption required

Dear Editors, a field for image caption is required, for ex see : Template:Infobox Person — Nvineeth ^talk 11:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Done! fixed by redtiger! thanks. — Nvineeth ^talk 15:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

semi protect the template?

I think several anonymous users are editing the template, instead of the article to add details, it will be a good idea to semi protect this template (see the history for edits like above). Can some admin do this. Thanks. — Nvineeth ^talk 04:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Founder field

The founder field was unclear. How can a Hindu leader have a founder? Institutions founded by the leader can be put in Titles/Honors. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:33, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I politely differ. Titles/Honors may include 'Swami', 'Acharya', and many other fancy respectful titles routinely dedicated to leaders like Jagadguru Rāmabhadrācārya. However, instead of 'Founder' field we can have 'Founded' or 'Founder of' field for institutions like some ashram, math etc. Putting these in the Titles/honors field may confuse non-Indian readers.

Correct Date of Birth

HI, the correct date of birth is 16 Feb not 18 Feb. Please check http://www.rkmath.org/ the official followers of Ramakrishna Mission founded by Swami Vivekananda —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.94.11.126 (talk) 15:37, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

The Infobox Is Being Modified For Swami Vivekananda Article

We have started to modify this infobox, few days ago we added 'signature' field. now we are going to add few more fields. Please discuss here before reverting or making any changes. --Titodutta (talk) 16:31, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

While signature is a useful field, birth time and death time are not useful fields. As in other people infoboxes, we should restrict to birth/death date and birth/death place. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:48, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree. The timings are not required and will lengthen the infobox. Editing the template is a delicate issue since we hv to keep other articles in mind too and their requirements, rightly pointed out to me by User:Redtigerxyz. Please post your requirements other than the time here n i will c to it. SASSOTO (talk) 16:33, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Hm, I have added that in article body! --Tito Dutta (Talk) 17:21, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Adding new fields is OK if they do not influence other articles. But IMO any other changes should be discussed and a change analysis considered before going ahead. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:27, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Adding the Influenced field

A Hindu leader is a influential philosopher too and I am the adding this field as present in Template:Infobox philosopher. People seeking to use it in articles may do so. Since it is a new field, it's addition won't affect articles already using Template:Infobox Hindu leader. Will update the documentation too. SASSOTO (talk) 03:03, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Seems good. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:57, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
