[edit] Religious Infobox

Hi there, on the religious infobox you made, you have post=, but when this is used it appears as "Previous Post". This seemingly makes the infobox useless for any living person. I would like to adjust it, but thought better to contact you first and see if there was any particular reason for this. Thanks Chopper Dave (talk) 18:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean but if you can improve it, give 'er -- Esemono (talk) 03:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Example Romapada Swami‎. The users have filled out the post field of the infobox with Sanyassi, which is his post. However for whatever reason, it comes up as "Previous Post", like he's no longer a Sanyassi. So they have had to write "(He still is a sannyasi)" which is just silly. Agree?

OK I tweaked it so now there are two fields:

| previous_post =

| present_post =

and so Romapada Swami reads like this:

{{Infobox ReligiousBio

| image          =[[Image:Replace this image male.svg]]
| name           = <small><small>''Romapada Swami''</small>
