Template-protected edit request on 3 August 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Could you please add fields honorific_prefix and honorific_suffix fields to this template from {{Infobox sportsperson}}? My rationale is that Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus is recognised with a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) and it would be cleaner in its own field than using a line break in the name field.

Added to the {{Infobox swimmer/sandbox}} (diff). See test at Template:Infobox swimmer/testcases § honorifics. -DePiep (talk) 05:52, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The sandbox and the testcase look good to me, thanks. Reader781 (talk) 06:18, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
