One-name study sticker for descendants?

Question

This is just an idea for consideration. I run a one-name study for Coggrave (a rare Yorkshire surname). Would it be possible to create a sticker to use on profiles of people who don't have the surname, but who have a Coggrave ancestor? 

(it could say something like "Josephine Bloggs had Coggrave ancestors.")

A category doesn't have the same visual impact; a sticker might help people who have Coggrave ancestors to find out more about the project and consider contributing.

Answer 1

Use the Descendant sticker and insert your required text.  For example:
{{Descendant|id=Coggrave ancestors}}

Thanks, I did not know that sticker existed!

You can also link the text to the space page...

{{Descendant|id=[[Space:Coggrave Name Study |Coggrave ancestors]]}}

The Heritage Sticker gives another option - see Template: Heritage Sticker for details, but here's one possibility:

{{Heritage Sticker|ancestors=[[Space:Coggrave Name Study |Coggrave]]|imagetext=Tree silhouette}}

Here's what the two would look like (the "..." would be the Preferred Name from the profile's datafields):

Descendant of Coggrave ancestors.

... has Coggrave ancestors.

Thanks Liz, that's another good option. Here's what I'll probably go with.

{{Heritage Sticker|ancestors=[[Space:Coggrave Name Study |Coggrave]]||image=Coggrave_Name_Study-1.png||imagetext=Coggrave Name Study logo}}

Nice :D

Hello! I'm now getting two error messages on profiles that use the 'Coggrave ancestors' sticker mentioned above (example here). Both messages say "Unknown parameter in template" but I'm not sure what the issue is. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Hi Katie. Your sticker text on the biography reads

{{Heritage Sticker
|ancestors=[[Space:Coggrave Name Study |Coggrave]]
||image=Coggrave_Name_Study–1.png
||imagetext=Coggrave Name Study logo}}

(I've separated out the lines for easy reading.) The problem may be that in two places you have a double pipe character instead of a single one. Remove one | before image and one before imagetext.

Thanks Jim. I'll try that, but the suggestions are only updated once a week so maybe I'll hold on before I go and edit all of them! (lucky it's a rare name)

Sorry that I missed the double pipes - my eyes don't see the multiple ||'s (I have the same trouble with '' and ''', which makes itals/bold coding a challenge). Jim is correct that this is the problem. I took the liberty of correcting the coding on the Coggrave Name Study page. The sticker now displays with the intended text link. (Nice page by the way!)
