[edit] Living person cautioning

There seems to be something wrong with the living=yes parameter in relation to Talk:Warren Jeffs. The problem is that the usual pale infobox reminder about Wikipedia's BLP policy doesn't show. __meco 20:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Looks like {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} needs a parameter of blp=yes. Although I wrote a lot of the WPBio code the integration with WikiProjectBannerShell was written by User:SatyrTN so if there's any further queries it might be best to ask for his input. I only found this out by experimenting in the sandbox! --kingboyk (talk) 22:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

Is there some way that this template can be modified to reflect the differences between British English and US English. Libellous is the correct English spelling whereas I presume that libelous is the American version. It is quite inappropriate to use American English in articles on British people. If the spelling cannot be adjusted could we perhaps have separate British English and American English templates. Dahliarose (talk) 12:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

No, separate templates would be far too much trouble. However, it was originally spelt "libellous" and we debated it above; there was no consensus to change it. It would seem that later on, as a janitor and in good faith, I pasted in somebody's new text without noticing a spelling change. I've now reverted myself. --kingboyk (talk) 22:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks. That looks much better! Dahliarose (talk) 00:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Change Request

Please add a "section" parameter to {{Blp/BLPtext}} so the text can be used in places like Prestonwood Baptist Church#Events of May 2008 or in a future cleanup-tag-style section- or article-template. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
