This template is one of the most obvious things about a Familypedia article and therefore deserves to be as flawless and friendly as possible. It is gradually being improved, which is very pleasing.
Currently a couple of questions and/or requests are sitting unanswered on its talk page. Would some kind programmer or template creator please have a look and do whatever he or she can? Items I remember noting are "second spouse" and "death age and cause". — Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:35, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
