Attempt to stop infobox edit-warring at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
If the name field is not used in the infobox template, the article name is displayed just as if it appeared in the infobox template's name field.
The native name field is displayed immediately below the article name in the infobox.
With no name field to change, and the disruptive editor's preferred name appearing high in the infobox, it is possible that the disruptive editor will go away.-- Toddy1(talk)12:24, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Not all of the articles though. Priyanka Chopra pops to mind, which to me implies that this is not a policy but rather a guideline that may or may not be followed. Regardless, I won't be challenging your edit. Just wanted to know your rationale. Keivan.fTalk20:24, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
@Keivan.f: I'm not aware of that particular article's history. If it is a recent change, it can be reverte4, or if longstanding then can be discussed in its t/p. The default is the common name. It iterates to the article name if the parameter is left blank even. I don't see a reason why we should not highlight the WP:COMMONNAMEs / article names. The other less known names have specific parameters ('birth_name', 'nickname' and 'other_names') for the pupose. And if necessary, we can have a move request / RfC. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:33, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the email, I wasn't aware of the background. I gave the lack of sources as the reason for my revert, but can see that there may be good reasons to exclude the content even if they attempt to source it. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:43, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
I think my edit [1] I was looking at an old version and totally missed you had reverted it already. Completely my mistake! I've reported them to AIV (and they've been blocked for 24 hours) for the continued unsourced edits, but from the history on Shedin Dekha Hoyechilo, I think they're a sock of Halud Foressa.

@Ravensfire: I was able to guess that . I only reverted the long-plot and castlist stuff. If necessary, we can restore this version by "GreenC bot". And thanks for the notification, I've watchlisted SPI case page and some of the articles they trawl. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:20, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

I am having a confusion regarding the Nationality and Citizenship column in Infobox for Indian politicians, should we use these 2 or any one in the BLPs of Indian politicians which are not much popular or are elect for the first time and are not special case regarding their Nationality or Citizenship. Thanks TheSlumPanda (talk) 09:21, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
@TheSlumPanda: According to WP:INFOBOXNTLY, both 'nationality' and 'citizen' parameters are not needed if the 'birth_place' is mentioned. However, if 'birth_place' is empty, 'nationality' is enough. 'Citizen' is only important for non-resident Indians. But for politicians in India, they have be an Indian citizen to run for elections. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:27, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
