Why is this dropping entries? edit
This template is unhelpfully hiding entries it doesn't have special code for. It should just present them as plain text. E.g. {{postnom|FLSW}} produces output of: "". That's a "user-hateful" behavior. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 16:25, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- And it should actually be producing a link like "FLSW", since there's an entry in the /GBR subtemplate for FLSW. Not sure what the bug is there. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 16:41, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Maybe use the proper template
{{post-nominals|country=GBR|FLSW}}instead of
{{postnom|FLSW}}to actually get the result you want. 2605:B100:120:9737:805A:C1AD:A0CE:8FE (talk) 12:26, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

The MP post-nominal redirects to the House of Commons. It should instead redirect to the Member of Parliament (Canada) page as that’s what MP post-nominal stands for. 2605:B100:120:9737:805A:C1AD:A0CE:8FE (talk) 12:29, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

The link to the document "THE ORDER OF WEARING AUSTRALIAN HONOURS AND AWARDS" is dead. The URL has changed to: https://www.pmc.gov.au/sites/default/files/resource/download/wearing-awards-order-of-wearing.pdf
Nothing else has changed, including the date of the document that follows the link. SCHolar44 (talk) 07:15, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Not done: {{edit template-protected}}is usually not required for edits to the documentation or categories of templates using a documentation subpage. Use the 'edit' link at the top of the green "Template documentation" box to edit the documentation subpage. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change:
Would like the template to take account of the ambiguous UK post-nominal "FRAS", for Fellowship of the Royal __Astronomical__ Society and Fellowship of the Royal __Asiatic__ Society. Please bear with me if I'm mistaken but I understand this is usually handled by creating 'pseudo-acronyms' which have, say, a letter added, which Wiki parses to the actual intended tag? E.g. FRSCa maps to FRSC "Fellowship of the Royal Society of Canada" rather than FRSC "Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry". Hope this makes sense - thank you for bearing with a relative newbie! 2A02:C7C:4616:9100:B8F9:5E06:97DB:E74 (talk) 14:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Done Using FRAsS (the second letter of the extra word for consistency with FRAeS -> Fellow of the Royal __Aeronautical__ Society. I find it ridiculous that there are apparently three different post-nomimals abbreviated FRAS, but whatever. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:25, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Requested change:
From: | ADC = [[Aide de Camp#United Kingdom|ADC]]
To: | ADC = [[Aide de Camp#The Royal Household|ADC]]
Aide de Camp#United Kingdom discusses aides-de-camp in general, most of whom don't receive a post-nominal.
Aide de Camp#The Royal Household is specifically about aides-de-camp to the monarch, who are the ones who get the post-nominal. Dan Bloch (talk) 06:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Completed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 15:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
