Template talk:Infobox military person

no "education" (or "alma mater") parameter?

the infobox appears to not have basic parameter of "education" (or "alma mater"). do military people not get educated?--96.232.126.111 (talk) 21:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

• I agree that one should be added. I do Army general officer bios and very very few of them weren't commissioned through ROTC or the Military Academy. Rockhead126 (talk) 20:44, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Honorifics

Unresolved

Rather than add additional parameters that are already in Infobox person why not just Embed Infobox military person in Infobox person on the article in question? --Kumioko (talk) 12:17, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

War crimes

This template should include |criminal_charge=, |criminal_penalty=, and |criminal_status= parameters in order to enable users to input allegations related to their military career such as war crimes and their legal outcome. A note on the documentation stating that these parameters need to be supported by reliable sources like in the {{Infobox person}} template should also be included. -- ◅PRODUCER _(TALK) 17:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Rather than add additional parameters that are already in Infobox person why not just Embed Infobox military person in Infobox person on the article in question? Aside, from that I would say War crime is a criminal charge so its already covered, but thats just my opinion. --Kumioko (talk) 12:17, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

You're assuming the person isn't known only for their military service. If that's the case then your solution is not a good one. -- ◅PRODUCER _(TALK) 17:55, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

I guess it depends on your point of view. Is a War crime a crime or is it not? Just because someone is known as a murderer doesn't mean we use a different Infobox. Its still Infobox person. Same thing with birth date, its all the same. Its still a crime. --Kumioko (talk) 03:59, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

How would you go about adding war crimes to the infobox of Ratko Mladic for example? I have already attempted your suggestion of using infobox person and embedding infobox military person, but it is too compressed and impractical. The Spanish Wikipedia has implemented parameters similar to my suggestion very well. [1] -- ◅PRODUCER _(TALK) 10:37, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Native name

Please can someone add |native_name=, |native_name_lang= and associated markup, modelled on that in {{Infobox person}}? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:23, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Bare filenames in |image=

I can change the code to use bare filenames like all other infoboxes. Check infobox standardisation process in User:WOSlinker/Infoboxes. are there any disagreements on this change? -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:51, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I think its a good idea. --Kumioko (talk) 19:11, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

So long as the articles which use this template are fixed (or, alternatively, so long as the code is structured in a way that doesn't require them to be modified), I see no problems with the proposed change. Kirill ^{[talk] [prof]} 00:36, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

My bot will fix all articles within a few hours.-- Magioladitis (talk) 15:46, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I updated the code. Now a lot of work must be done. Many fields are a real mess mixing images with signature or medals. I'll do the best I can and I already asked for help. Help is appreciated. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
