This template doesn't support being embedded into another. Ng Cho-nam is a complicated situation and currently has two infoboxes, down from three. If this could be embedded, that article could use ((infobox person))
as the primary infobox. This is the only article I am aware of presently using many parameters from officeholder, academic, and Chinese - so it may not be worth the effort for just one article. But if it is easy to do, it would help at least in this example. Jonesey95?? MB 21:52, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
((infobox medical person))
is both a wrapper of and child of "person". MB 14:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
|child=
was already supported here, so it was pretty easy to merge the infoboxes at Ng Cho-nam (by adding |child=yes
and moving the braces). – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:43, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
I was getting ready to add Infobox academic to an article, and noticed a red link. I saw it was for a Category that had been removed. I deleted this portion of the tracking category section from the documentation template:

Hi, I was wondering what people would think about adding ORCID numbers to this infobox? They are standarised unique numbers for individual authors and might help readers identify work better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamzze (talk • contribs) 19:14, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Not sure why the thesis link inside the ((Infobox academic)) template is not displaying correctly for Ty Seidule but seems to work when the ((Infobox academic)) template is embedded inside another template when used in Carol T. Christ. -- 64.202.138.67 (talk) 02:08, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

When editing an article containing ((Infobox academic)) such as Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, we see errors stating Preview warning: Page using Template:Infobox person with unknown empty parameter "denomination", "salary", "weight" even if those parameters are not used in the article. Could someone please remove these unsupported parameters from ((Infobox academic)) to remove these errors? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

The contents of the academic_advisors
field normally appear alongside the label "Academic advisors"; however, when the field is used alongside the doctoral_advisor
field, it uses the label "Other academic advisors" with a non-breaking space after the word "Other". In most use cases, this has the unfortunate side effect of substantially increasing the width of the label column and decreasing the width of the content column. While the effect of this may seem minor in theory, in practice this frequently results in numerous additional line breaks in the infobox, substantially increasing the infobox's length.
To avoid this, I would suggest that rather than using the label "Other[
]academic advisors" when the field is used alongside doctoral_advisor
, we instead use the label "Other advisors" in such cases. As the field normally appears under the heading "Academic background", this label would be no less precise than the existing one. And the fact that we are referring specifically to academic advisors is further reinforced by the fact that the label would only appear when immediately followed by the doctoral_advisor
field. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 04:12, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Notes
I have almost emptied Pages using infobox academic with unknown parameters. The few remaining articles need |burial_place=
and/or |resting_place=
. Since this is a standard parameter of ((infobox person))
, it should be available for academics just like most other bios. Frietjes or Jonesey (or anyone else), could you please add this. MB 03:44, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

It is better to added a parameter for the published books of an academician. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 16:10, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
In the sandbox, I have a version of the template that uses Module:Template wrapper, which allows any parameter in ((Infobox person)) to also be accepted here, while also accepting all existing parameters to this template. The downside is that all error checking is now handled by ((Infobox person)), so parameter errors will show up in Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown parameters.
What do editors think? Should I make the sandbox template go live? — hike395 (talk) 05:27, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Can H-index and Citation (as in citation count) parameters be added to this Infobox? KD HU (talk) 15:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
