{{infobox person}} has a footnotes parameter, which allows citations for the information in the infobox. Is there a reason not to have one in this template? See this edit to "Norman Lindsay" for an example where it would be useful. grendel|khan 08:00, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
|footnotes= at {{infobox person}} is explicitly not for citations - see its documentation. Citations in both templates should be added immediately after the claim being cited. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:30, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be reasonable to add a parameter for “position(s)” or similar? Many artists hold significant positions within institutions like galleries or art schools. I’ve noticed people have been adding these positions under |known_for=, which is wrong (…right?). For example: Marta Kuzma (dean of an art school) and Edna Pahewa (head of department), but there are many other articles where I think significant roles would be suitable for infoboxes, (eg, Huhana Smith, head of an art school). — HTGS (talk) 09:52, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This edit to Anna Jermolaewa prompts me to ask whether the |awards= parameter should be limited to notable awards only? I note that {{infobox person}} limits |awards= to notable awards. "Notable" here might be determined by the award or the awarding organization having an article (not just a redirect) in mainspace. Of course, usual requirements for verification apply. This would not limit what is listed in the main text of the article, just the infobox. This is just a suggestion. What do others think? — Archer1234 (talk) 18:44, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, notable awards only. I appreciate that not all notable awards have articles though. -Lopifalko (talk) 20:06, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with using the word “notable”, only because most readers of the template will understand that to mean notable, and it gives the impression that the award must be bluelinked (or even temporarily redlinked). That is far too high a standard. I would change it to “significant awards” because the current wording, (Any awards the artist has won) is far too liberal. — HTGS (talk) 19:37, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe "significant" - and there will be few of these. Infobox clutter should be avoided fiercely, and awards are not really important for artists. Johnbod (talk) 15:42, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
A signature parameter needs to be included in the infobox which can be useful to painters' articles. Michelangelo being one example where the Infobox person is used for lack of the signature option with this template. Kj1595 (talk) 14:23, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Completed – included were four parameters: |signature=, |signature_type=, |signature_size= and |signature_alt=. P.I. Ellsworth , ed.put'er there 18:05, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
