Template-protected edit request on 12 November 2025

Template:Edit template-protected Please add an option to display names in an East Asian order ("last name" "first name"). KKhuc92 (talk) 06:49, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Wouldn't entering such a name in the desired order get that result? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:16, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Adding substitution support

Template:Moved from I'm trying to add substitution support for this, which would help with e.g. {{AfC accept/B percentage}} (used in the {{AfC accept}} talk page message). However, doing so in the sandbox leads to results like {{subst:Percentage/sandbox|1|5|2}} = <span data-sort-value="7001200000000000000♠" style="display:none"></span>20%. This seems to be offering a more precise value than the displayed one, but the extra code is generally going to be unwanted. Is there a way to resolve this? Sdkb ^talk 20:58, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

@Sdkb That's probably a question for Module:Sortkey --Ahecht (TALK

Sr. and Jr.

As Dicklyon said previously (now in the archives) the examples in the sortname template documentation could use examples of how to put in names with Jr. and Sr.; this is not obvious to everyone. — Misha Vargas (talk | contribs) 08:07, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
