Inaccessible markup
Found a problem similar to the one you solved a year or so ago with {{Infobox gridiron football person}}. {{Infobox AFL biography}} is using inaccessible markup. Would you mind re-writing your script at Module:Infobox gridiron football person/convert to handle this slightly more complicated fix? The only "new" complication is that now three parameters must be split instead of two, and they don't all use similar parameter names (i.e. clubs vs. sooteams are both "teams" parameters). I copied over your gridiron football person module to Module:Infobox AFL biography/convert if you're willing to work on this. If not, I'd appreciate you pinging me so I can seek someone else. ~ Rob 23:46, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Spread a template
I am in the process of creating {{Edward Elgar}}, and added it already to his article. It should go also to the linked articles. Do we have a bot to do that? Could there be one? It would have to check if the template is already there, and if not insert it before any other navbox, before categories and other things that don't show on the screen, after external links, or references, or whatever is last. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:02, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
