Hieroglyphs edit

I propose that this template be modified so as to have a line for the name of the dignitary in hieroglyphs and with transliteration. Suffice to add an alt_name line that would appear as Name inside the box and would allow for the editor to put hieroglyphs. This is really really lacking in many cases and we thus have to put up with ugly hierobox in the articles. Iry-Hor (talk) 21:49, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Adding hieroglyphs, alt to template edit

Echoing Iry-Hor's proposal from 2014, I suggest modifying the template to add hieroglyphs, probably under "native_lang" and "native_lang_name" sections, as is already done with Infobox royalty. We should also add an alt text feature for improved accessibility :) Let me know if there are other suggestions for changes. Merytat3n (talk) 01:39, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
