NZL/NZL-cats Templates

Thank you for adding MNZGS to the NZL [Post-nominals template]. Could you

1. Update the NZL-cats template and
2. Documentation for both templates?
3. Are there any other types of membership that need to be added such as Fellow of the society? (I'm assuming FRGS is a fellow of the (UK based) Royal Geographical Society and not the NZGS).

@Sinesurfer: Hey there. I'm afraid I'm not a complete expert on this system (I just use it), and yeah, it really does need some documentation. I'll try to write something up. Ultimately it's somewhat flawed because as in this case people can get PNLs from multiple Commonwealth countries, like FRGS alongside other, domestic institutions. Maybe I should try to change it to "inherit" from the UK if it doesn't find it locally? Could be tricky… James F. (talk) 09:36, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Multiple country post-noms can be rendered by using the post-noms template multiple times for each country. The template was originally written by a Canadian gent so when the country parameter is not defined the template defaults to Canada (which is of course ok). If you ever find post-noms OM render as The Order of Manitoba instead of The Order Merit, this is why. Changing the default behaviour now would be problematic where Canadian post-noms use the same index as the UK template but point to different awards/honours etc. The country parameter would need to be added to every use of conflicting post-noms in the CAN/CAN-cats templates.

The professional societies can be confusing, the templates for the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand accommodate their local society and the UK society (for the different professions).

Disambiguation link notification for January 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015 New Year Honours, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SHINE. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
