[edit] Overriding Behind the Name links
Could the creator of this template implement a new field that allows us to override the "Behind the Name" link? There is no "Behind the Name" link to Šťastný, but there is for Stastny. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 13:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- I created the template, but I don't know how to make this change quickly and I am really busy right now. I will take a look at it later, but if you want to get it fixed fast, you should probably ask someone else who understands template. Remember (talk) 13:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

- I modified the template so that it checks for a specific name to use for the Behind the Name search. You can specify it using "search = Stastny". If the 'search' attribute is omitted then it will just use the value for 'name' as it already does. This way the templates will still work the same and nothing that currently uses this template will need fixing. I did update the template for Šťastný as mentioned above however.

[edit] Region vs. Origin
What is the distinction between these fields? It seems like the information put in them will be very similar. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 13:27, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
