Proposed change: make honorific a name field

@Shii: @JalenFolf:

At User:WhisperToMe/Burmesenametest I have a proposed new version of the template, but for it to work with honorifics it needs to be in this format:

For U Thant: {{User:WhisperToMe/Burmesenametest|honorific=yes|U}}

For Aung San Suu Kyi {{User:WhisperToMe/Burmesenametest}} just says she has no family name.

I would like to roll the change out, but this modification is substantial and needs many changes in Wikicode across various articles. Hence I have a discussion opened here. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:31, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Makes the template more concise in wording and more flexible in usability. Glades12 (talk) 06:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
