Requested change:

From: | ADC = [[Aide de Camp#United Kingdom|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)[reply]

Edit Request: Gibraltar[edit]

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

Would someone mind adding support for the country Gibraltar (country code GIB).

The only post-nominals I'm aware of within Gibraltar are MP, for Members of the Gibraltar Parliament. Currently some pages use the UK's MP post-nominal, which is inappropriate in cases where the post-nominal is due to membership of the Gibraltar Parliament. My current workaround is {{post-nominals|country=GIB|size=100%|list=[[Member of parliament|MP]]|MP}}. Recollect4741 (talk) 15:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This would require creating Template:Post-nominals/GIB (compare Template:Post-nominals/GBR), which does not require any advanced permissions. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You, I've done that now Recollect4741 (talk) 22:32, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no option for the postnom FRSA for Canada. It should be above FRSC. Aknell4 (talk · contribs) 02:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Royal Society of Arts is international and uses the same post nominal globally (I am a fellow). Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 03:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
