[edit] Ancestry Chart

Since titles such as Emperor or King or Duke or Duchess or Princess or Infanta are used, for consistancy's sake, use titles for all entries in the chart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cladeal832 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect, when the ancestry charts were first being implemented, they were being linked as the article titles did or should appear, according to WP:NC(NT) and also to avoid redirects. They are going to be changed back to that form for the sake of consistency with article titles and with WP:NC(NT), which is a standard for article titles. Wikipedia is not consistent for all royals and WP:NC(NT) only gives consistency for groups of royals, such as monarchs, consorts and other royals. Charles 20:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted the ancestry and again linked according to WP:NC(NT), and am going to explain here per an admin's advice. The reason for linking the names this way is to bypass redirects and present the names as they would appear in article titles which are generally the simplest forms. That way, if a person decides to write an article by seeing the name, they can put brackets around it and link from there. It avoids misleading people to create articles under titles that will only be moved because of WP:NC(NT). The convention prescribes the form Name of Place for kings, emperors and their consorts, Name, Title of Place for lesser sovereigns and holders of substantive titles and Title Name of Place for all other cadet royals. This is how the names have been adjusted also since the implementation of the new ancestry templates and it in itself is consistent in how it treats groups of royals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles (talk • contribs) 03:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

What's wrong with redirects? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.196.130 (talk) 04:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
