Edit request 30 January 2025

This edit request to Template:Post-nominals/GBR has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: While I understand that Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland can't use FRAS in the template due to naming conflict, changing it to FRAsS seems like an WP:OR. Googling "FRAsS post nominals" have this template as first result.

Using FRAsS internally, while the link label show as FRAS could be better solution.

Diff:

−

FRAsS = [[Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society|FRAsS]]

+

FRAsS = [[Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society|FRAS]]

Please Help with adding The Postnomial FRMetS.

This edit request to Template:Post-nominals/GBR has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Hello Wikipedians. I have been reading and learning, from The Royal Meteorological Society Webpage. I have found Their Fellows of The Royal Meteorological Society (FRMets) Webpage: https://www.rmets.org/frmets-register. I have found there: Professor Liz Bentley FRMets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Bentley. Professor Richard Betts MBE FRMets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_A._Betts. Professor Piers Forster FRMets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Forster. Professor Ed Hawkins MBE FRMets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Hawkins_(climatologist). Professor Peter Stott MBE FRMetS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A._Stott. I wanted to add The Postnominal "FRMetS", to Their Names in Their Wikipedia Articles. I have checked that "FRMetS", is in The List for This GBR|Postnominal Template. However, when I add The Correct Text for The Post-Nominal: | honorific-prefix = Professor | name = First Name Last Name | honorific-suffix = {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FRMets|size=100}}. The Post-Nominal does not correctly appear. There is No Wikipedia FRMetS Webpage. Does there have to be A Wikipedia FRMetS Webpage ? Please Help. RSVP. Best Wishes.

I see above that you use a lowercase "s" after "FRMet". Try the uppercase, as in "FRMetS", because the "s" must be uppercase for the template to work properly. Let me know, as I will be watching this talk section. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 00:37, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 15 June 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Post-nominals/CAN. (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately. Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

I'd like to request the following changes:

• Change | A de C = [[Aide-de-camp#Canada|A de C]] to | AdeC = [[Aide-de-camp#Canada|AdeC]] (no spaces in Canada; see here and here)
• Add | FRCDC = [[Royal College of Dentists of Canada|FRCDC]] (see here)
• Add | FRPSC = [[Royal Philatelic Society of Canada|FRPSC]] (see here)
• Add | FRPSL = [[Royal Philatelic Society London|FRPSL]]
• Add | ECO = [[Executive Council of Ontario|ECO]] (see here)
• Add | FCSCE = [[Canadian Society for Civil Engineering|FCSCE]] (fellow)
• Add | RN = [[Registered nurse#Canada|RN]]
• Add | KHNO = [[Medical Household|KHNO]] (King's Honorary Nursing Officer; see here)
• Add | QHNO = [[Medical Household|QHNO]] (Queen's Honorary Nursing Officer)
• [[Victoria Cross (Canada)|VC]] is missing.
  
  • Change | VC = [[Victoria Cross|VC]] to | VC = [[Victoria Cross (Canada)|VC]]
  • Then add something like VCb or VCs | VCs = [[Victoria Cross|VC]] for the British Victoria Cross. Canada's should take precedence. 2605:B100:120:7E1:7CEE:A0EE:3D78:B7D9 (talk) 01:31, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. I oppose this change because it isn't a post-nominal and it isn't permanent, becoming obsolete on death. DrKay (talk) 09:49, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
