Proposal for new fields to be added

• Date of birth
• Date of death (optional and mainly for TOS actors)
• Age (automaticly worked out by a formula by DOB etc?)

I'm game. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:57, 28 November 2006 (CST)

I added the new parameters, is there a way of making it look a bit neater on the pages though? as you can see here the text is squished up against the edges rather than being 50/50 across --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:12, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Fixed and I have {{age}} online to work out age: {{age|1982|5|3}} Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 10:00, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Is it just me, or does no one use {{age}}? It's quite useful, and maybe it should be incorporated into this template. --Catrope 13:48, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Dual nationality

Silly Dan requested that the infobox for an actor specify two nationalities. Because I couldn't edit this template (locked for obvious security reasons), I created a new template with an extra parameter for a second nationality. It's up and working, so could someone with admin access incorporate this parameter into this template? (Preferably Shane, he'll be able to see whether my template inadvertently breaks anything.) --Catrope 13:48, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Good idea, but actors are really only one primary nationality. We record where their born, not where they hold citizenship. Also, if you want to make a suggestion to a template, post it here first and we can work on it. For obvious reasons the other template you created was deleted because we can already do that without a template. I can see about adding a field that changes the nationally into an input to add more than one flag. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:53, 24 February 2007 (CST)
