I would suggest introducing standardized infoboxes for monarchs, starting with the British. It seems the only country with infoboxes for her monarchs at the moment is Sweden (example: Charles XV). It seems like a good one, but I’ve made one for Edward II of England where there are a couple of changes. First of all, I’ve left out ‘Royal motto’, secondly I’ve removed ‘Predecessor’ and ‘Successor’ (these already have their own infobox at the bottom of the page). Instead of these I’ve included ‘Father’/’Mother’ and ‘Issue’ (this last one should perhaps be kept to a limited selection in some cases).
