The date of what? --Palosirkka (talk) 16:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The current template only allows the "organization" spelling which accounts for the US, Canadian, and Oxford English variants. There should be a way to trigger the "Organization" label to show as "Organisation" for all the other English variants as per

{{Infobox criminal
| name = Foo
| birth_name = Foo Bar
| residence = Baz
}}

Thanks! -OXYLYPSE (talk) 08:09, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@OXYLYPSE: This template uses {{Infobox person}} which removed the residence parameter in [1] after discussion at Template talk:Infobox person/Archive 34#Residence parameter. I have removed it from the documentation.[2] PrimeHunter (talk) 13:53, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@PrimeHunter: I've spent some time today updating the articles that have been using the parameter, where the subject mentions the residence to be a prison or other place of incarceration I've moved the information to the imprisoned parameter. Mrbuskin (talk) 05:43, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

There should be spaces between beginyear and endyear

{{#if:{{{beginyear|}}}|{{{beginyear}}}–{{{endyear|}}}}}
-> {{#if:{{{beginyear|}}}|{{{beginyear}}} – {{{endyear|}}}}}

Ah ok, yeah makes sense, cause i've been noticing it on boxes were the month and day was included. I'll then change it to only show the year from now on, thx FMSky (talk) 21:03, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

minor thing, in the line....

  |  data5     = {{#ifexist:{{{trial|}}}|[[{{{trial}}}]] {{#if:{{{trial_start|}}}|({{{trial_start}}}{{#if:{{{trial_end|}}}|-{{{trial_end}}}}})}}}}

....the "-" should be a "–" instead FMSky (talk) 21:50, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings and felicitations. In the fields

  | data4      = {{if empty|{{{criminal_charge|{{{criminal charge|}}}}}}|{{{charge|}}}}}
  | label6     = {{#if:{{{criminal_charge|{{{criminal charge|}}}}}}{{{charge|}}}|Penalty|Criminal penalty}}

change to

 | label6     = {{{criminal_charges|{{{criminal charge|{{{criminal_charge|}}}}}}}}}

and change the field " | data4 = " to match this if necessary. Basically, allow the name(s) this/these fields to be be made plural, as is possible with Template:Infobox person. —DocWatson42 (talk) 12:59, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. The proposed code does not look like it will work. What happened to |charge=? Are you proposing to remove it? What happened to the if statement and the "Penalty" label? – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:15, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: I'm sorry—I just copied and pasted the code from Template:Infobox person, where the fields are: | label51 = Criminal charge(s) and | data51 = {{{criminal_charges|{{{criminal charge|{{{criminal_charge|}}}}}}}}}. If I was familiar with how the markup worked, I wouldn't be making the request. :-/ How else can I help you make this change? —DocWatson42 (talk) 07:31, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think you want to change {{{criminal_charge|{{{criminal charge|}}}}}}{{{charge|}}} to {{{criminal_charges|{{{criminal_charge|{{{criminal charge|}}}}}}}}}{{{charge|}}} in two places in the sandbox, and then test the new parameter on the testcases page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:15, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:16, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: Thank you. ^_^ @Jonesey95: I apologize for being MIA. —DocWatson42 (talk) 03:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jonesey95, this one is showing errors also: |salary=, |denomination=. I found this in preview of Carl Panzram MB 20:35, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:44, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In July 2021, the |net_worth= in {{Infobox person}} was deprecated. Should it be deprecated here as well? — DaxServer (talk) 12:07, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done in the template wrapping — hike395 (talk) 17:46, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is this parameter intended to show the location of current imprisonment or previous imprisonment? Should it be used after the person has been released? 76.14.122.5 (talk) 18:04, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where a substantial percentage of criminals will have had a lawyer appear for them, it would make sense for the infobox to have a spot to list the prominent lawyer who defended them, etc. Virginia Courtsesan (talk) 02:06, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In Template:Infobox person, the partner parameter is for "unmarried life partners in a domestic partnership", and is thus confusing. Can this be changed to something along the lines of "accomplice" or a similar term? ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 17:12, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
