These seem redundant, almost every article has them explicitly. They also break things if the dates are put in wikilinks. I've removed them. Rich Farmbrough 18:46 3 May 2006 (UTC).
Changed color to Corn (color) after several attempts. I think the existing color clashed with ((s-pre)); and this should be pastel enough to go with the rest of the series. Septentrionalis 17:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

suspending now for input // FrankB 17:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Despite the flaws that can occur due to the inconsistencies between page title and the person's name, I believe that this is a nice overhaul of the s-hou template. I never was completely satisfied with it when I created it. For one thing, I always wanted to put the person's name at the top of the chart, but I wasn't sure if it would work. Now seeing it, I believe it does. I also was never able to get the switches and the #ifs to work properly so I abandoned the effort. Now it seems you have done such a good job that Template:s-hno, the dateless version of this, is completely useless and can be phased out. Good job and keep up the good work! Finally, please if you haven't already done so, join Wikipedia:WikiProject Succession Box Standardization. It is the project that is trying to support these types of changes!

I'm sorry, but this change hugely uglifies tiny succession boxes. Look at Henry II of Navarre for an example. Half the height of his box is taken up by this template. And the changes in bolding and such are also worse than the previous version. I'm sorry, but I feel strongly that it should be changed back, and for this reason am reverting it to the version from 10 May 2007.
Also Louis88 and KuatofDY, you two make up the past 68 edits to this template and appear to edit it multiple times in the same minute. This is a hugely reckless waste of the WMF's resources, as this template is transcluded to over 1500 pages. Atropos 01:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Apparently there is a major problem with your edits to Template:s-hou that require your immediate attention. in the common event of someone types a birth year but no birth month (thus a 3 but no 2 in the parameter listing), the birth title disappears and the date appears beside the royal house name as such:
(Note... Template used, so solved problem no longer manifests in below!)
We need to fix this problem post haste before an admin comes and reverts everything, screwing up the entire WP:SBS and throwing us back about three months. Please do something as soon as possible.

(reply, belated) So sorry to be MIA... but I've got those ole summertime wiki-blues. The succession of changes and the talk discourse looks to be on track...

The 'Royal House' pages has now been merged with Dynasty, as such I suggest that the link on the template be updated to fix the redirect. Sotakeit (talk) 14:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

It has come to my attention that this template in its current state is somewhat broken. If used at the top of a list of succession boxes, it appears that its width overrules that of the successive boxes. The subsequent squeezing causes some hard-to-look-at wrapping issues.
Example in sandbox and some other examples:
Could someone please have a look at this? Thank you. --Jay D. Easy (talk) 14:40, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

template.Looking at a real-life example of this template in use: Charles VIII of France, I find that the title of the page (Charles VIII of France) gets lost amongst the links. It would appear to me that bolding the title would strengthen it and visually reinforce its position as the title of the entire box structure.
I'd like to propose the following edit:
from:
-->|((PAGENAME)) )) ))}</div><!--
to:
-->|'''((PAGENAME))''' )) ))}</div><!--
It would appear to me a simple, straightforward and uncontroversial edit, with little potential for unexpected side effects. 2001:558:6017:107:253E:85F6:C00:670 (talk) 01:52, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
The visual effect is even more apparent on Louis XII where the second line, "House of Valois, Orléans branch" totally overpowers the first line "Louis XII". The proposed bolding would really help balance the page. 2001:558:6017:107:253E:85F6:C00:670 (talk) 02:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
