June 2026

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Leo I, Prince of Armenia ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you. '''Zackmann''' (Talk to me ↗/What I been doing ↗) 17:31, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Family trees

I've noticed your interest in articles on medieval nobility. Based on that interest, are you able to make family trees on certain articles or do you know someone who could? I'm reviewing the articles on the counts of Edessa, and I think a family tree would be helpful. Векочел (talk) 18:21, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

:It's on my to-do list. Runciman is a neat source for these. Surtsicna (talk) 20:48, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Tamatou ↗

Per your most recent edit on the page, {{tq|Template:Infobox royalty ↗ ''says: ". This template is only for historic biographies and must not be used for mythical / legendary characters or creatures."''}} The subject of this article is neither of these, as there is no actual doubt to the existence of the subject of the article in its sources, and is indeed a historic article, even if not technically a biography. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 ↗ 18:16, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:The issue is not its existence. The issue is that it is not a biography. Template:Infobox royalty ↗ is for biographies. It is not for dolls. Surtsicna (talk) 18:36, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
::What do I use instead? The information in the infobox is a useful summary of content in the article. It is structured as though it were a biography because the subject was treated like an actual person during its existence. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 ↗ 20:31, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I think that an infobox with the fields "cause of death", "father", etc in an article about a wooden doll looks misleading and unserious. And that's a shame because this is a very interesting article. My advice on what to use? Don't use an infobox. Not every article needs an infobox, and no infobox is often the best choice. Surtsicna (talk) 21:02, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
::::Of course, the "father" of the doll is a particularly central topic to the story of it, as it was installed as a stand-in "son" to Talatama, who had died without a real son. In that case I feel it would be more appropriate than otherwise. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 ↗ 21:05, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
