== Corporation(s)? ==

More than one article including the infobox seems to use the variable "estates" interchangebly for real estates and brand assets etc. Would it be helpful to offer to a more specific variables for the latter information, such as "properties", "corporations" or something to that effect? [[User:PPEMES|PPEMES]] ([[User talk:PPEMES|talk]]) 16:32, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

:I've added <code>properties</code> as a parameter. --[[User:Paul 012|Paul_012]] ([[User talk:Paul 012|talk]]) 06:21, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

== Coat of arms caption ==

I changed the image to {{para|coat_of_arms}} at [[Ancestry of George Washington]]. {{para|coat_of_arms_caption}} isn't showing up and I'm not sure why. --<span style="text-shadow:#FFD700 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em">[[User:Auric|<span style="color: #FC3700;">'''Auric'''</span>]] [[User talk:Auric|<span style="color: #0C0F00;">''talk''</span>]]</span> 14:59, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:Strange. While speaking of it, I observe that "coat_of_arms_caption" exemplifies as "motto". Still, we have a dstinct variable "motto". Why not move "motto" variable to the top, pretty right under the coat of arms capton image? [[User:PPEMES|PPEMES]] ([[User talk:PPEMES|talk]]) 07:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== Proposed change to "Cadet branches"  ==

Hello, I would like to propose changing "Cadet branches" to "Branches". An alternative would be to add an "Elder branches" option. What do you think? --[[User:Brookford|Brookford]] ([[User talk:Brookford|talk]]) 22:08, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
:There are the variables "Parent family" and "Cadet branches". Could you provide more arguments for renaming the latter to "Branches"? [[User:PPEMES|PPEMES]] ([[User talk:PPEMES|talk]]) 11:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
::{{reply|PPEMES}} Sometimes the elder branch is different from the parent family. If a family split into 3 branches, what would the other 2 be called on the page of the most cadet branch?--[[User:Brookford|Brookford]] ([[User talk:Brookford|talk]]) 06:07, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

== "Ethnicity" parameter ==

Does anyone adding "ethnicity" parameter for this article, [[House of Bourbon]]. --[[User:ZmeytheDragon16|ZmeytheDragon16]] ([[User talk:ZmeytheDragon16|talk]]) 22:16, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

== Proposal ==

Shouldn't this template have "seat" as an important parameter, in addition to the "estate" parameter?--[[User:Santasa99|<span style="color:maroon;text-shadow:#666362 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;font-size:0.8em;">'''౪ Santa ౪'''</span>]][[User talk:Santasa99|<span style="color:navy;text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;font-size:0.7em"><sup>'''''99°'''''</sup></span>]] 23:28, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

== Religion ==

This is not working. [[User:Beshogur|Beshogur]] ([[User talk:Beshogur|talk]]) 16:29, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
:It was recently removed. [[User:Celia Homeford|Celia Homeford]] ([[User talk:Celia Homeford|talk]]) 12:23, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
::Is it possible to add it back? Religion is an important part of some families identities so much that they fought wars over it.  [[User:Thomas Norren|Thomas Norren]] ([[User talk:Thomas Norren|talk]]) 10:26, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

== Semi-protected edit request on 22 May 2021 ==

{{edit template-protected|Template:Infobox family|answered=yes|force=yes}}
Currently, {{tl|Infobox family}} flags a page in "Show preview" that uses {{para|branches}} by displaying a warning that "branches" is unsupported and then when the page is published, it adds the page to [[:Category:Pages using infobox family with unknown parameters]], but it still displays the label and value in the Infobox on the published page.  So, if {{para|branches}} is still supported, it should be added to the code that checks for unsupported parameters. On the other hand, if {{para|branches}} should not be supported, then the code that allows it to be displayed (label27/data27) should be removed. – [[Special:Contributions/108.56.139.120|108.56.139.120]] ([[User talk:108.56.139.120|talk]]) 07:03, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

== Sibling duos/trios ==
Is this suitable for professional collaborations within a family, or is there a better template for that? [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo James Barnes]] 17:54, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

== cadet branches wl to [[Cadet branch]]? ==
The term "cadet" or "cadet branch" is not well known, so I think a link to it's article would be helpful in the template. [[User:Bogger|Bogger]] ([[User talk:Bogger|talk]]) 07:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

== Separate "name" and "surname" parameters? ==

Is it possible to 'unmerge' the "name" and "surname" parameters?  Obviously for most families these will be the same, but for some nobles and royals, they'll be different.  For example on [[House of Windsor]] someone has crowbarred [[Mountbatten-Windsor]] in as a "cadet branch" (which it is not) very possibly in an attempt to reflect this.

== Pronunciation ==

Why is there no parameter "pronunciation"?-- [[User:Carnby|Carnby]] ([[User talk:Carnby|talk]]) 18:41, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

== Rivers ==

Many peoples, particularly the Māori people, find which river and mountain is their ancestral river and mountain really important family information. They also often put the ancestral boat which their family / tribe came here from. Would you all mind if I added a River, Mountain and a Boat tab to aid people who are writing about Māori families or families of any peoples who find that important?

== Suggested variables ==

A few proposed variables by inspiredation from other language versions infoboxes, including notably [[:fr:Modèle:Infobox Famille noble]].

* [[Time period]] (perhaps before variable type in the header, i.e. 'Late ancient Gallo-Roman plebeian family'?)
* [[Blazon]] (in addition to and below or close to coat of arms)
* [[Promotion]](s), as general term for [[ennoblement]] (including what year and by which authority) or equivalent for the lack of a better word?
* [[Fief]](s)
* Styles listed above titles, as customarly?
* [[Haplogroup]]/[[Subclade]], in case documented in 21st century/archeological genealogy?
