Please can you add Salary to this. It's particularly relevent for licence/taxpayer funded stations - [1]. Thanks -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 13:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Embedding voice files

A project I'm running, and a related event in mid-January will soon add around a thousand recordings of article subjects' voices to their biographies. I'd like to embed those in the relevant infoboxes, as in this example (using {{Infobox person}}). Can we add the necessary |module= parameter to this template? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:33, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, please - give them their own little box. Much too crufty and against WP:INFOBOX principles. Of course adding them is an excellent idea, but not in the main box. Johnbod (talk) 18:02, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please. Nobody except Johnbod would prefer an ugly separate box to an elegant integration within the infobox. It works well with {{infobox person}}, and it should be just as useful in this template. --RexxS (talk) 20:11, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"module" appears at the bottom of this template

Good evening, I noticed that the word "module" now appears at the bottom of every "Infobox presenter" template. Is this normal? And if not, is there a way to remove this? Thank you! KiwiNeko14 _(Meow) 20:38, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just attempted to remove it, but it didn't seem to work. DougHill (talk) 22:20, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, since your change, the word disappeared so it works fine now! Thank you again. KiwiNeko14 _(Meow) 10:46, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wrapper

I've made this template, like many of its biographical siblings, a wrapper for {{Infobox person}}. Please report any issues here. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:46, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pigsonthewing, {{infobox presenter}} needs to be updated as there have been changes to {{infobox person}} including the deprecation of some parameters (e.g., residence, weight, home_town) and some renaming of parameters (even though the aliases still work). Also, {{infobox person}} reports this error in "Show preview" when |parents= is used (see, e.g., Tania Bryer):

Infobox person warning: Using more than one of the following parameters: parents, father

Using more than one of the following parameters: parents, mother

If |father= or |mother= are used instead of |parents=, there is no error displayed, but the parameter values are not displayed in the infobox.

Maint cats

The four sub-cats of Category:Pages using infobox presenter with unknown parameters are now all empty, so they can all be deleted and just the main category used in the future. Although, I'm not sure why |nationality= should be invalid since it is valid in infobox person and could be needed here as well. Jonesey95? MB 21:27, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think we may have to ask Frietjes why |nationality= was specially tagged. I thought about undoing it, but she usually has a good reason for the choices she makes and is a much better template editor than I am. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:56, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95 and MB: nationality was marked because it was (a) frequently used and (b) not supported by this template. if you want to pass |nationality= through to {{infobox person}}, go ahead :) Frietjes (talk) 19:30, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jonesey95, Nationality, although frequently over-used, is valid in some circumstances with all bios. Can you add it as a para and also delete all four sub-cats. MB 22:33, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The cats were already removed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:20, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
