Advice on royalty pages: Misplaced Pages follows a strict formula for royal pages, in terms of content, layout and naming. The basic rules are:
- All monarchs and royal families are named using their highest ranking title; for example, King Edward VIII, not the Duke of Windsor.
- Styles are not used in articles; instead, a style box is always used.
- The image goes on the top-right hand side of all pages.
- For past monarchs and their children, the royal house template is used.
- For current monarchs and their descendants, the royal family template is used.
- Both templates are never used together.
- Because many articles are quite small, with the text sometimes smaller than one template, the royal house template for both houses is not used. Instead only the template of the senior parent (ie, whichever was the monarch, not the consort) is used.
- A royal consort has the template of the royal family they marry into, not of the family they were born into, on their page. However once they die, their birth family template replaces the marital royal family template.
With thousands of articles on royalty, and hundreds of contributors to them, the same standard format needs to be used across each article. Any inadvertent content, layout or naming that does not match that format is deleted to restore the article to the agreed format. For full details on royal naming rules, see Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (names and titles).
Any changes that do not follow the Naming Conventions are automatically reverted on sight. FearÉIREANN
