Notables Sticker

Question

Price Hartstonge has {{Notables Sticker}} on the second line immediately after the == Biography == heading on the first line.

It produces the text

"Mary (Hartstonge) Ormsby is Notable."

i.e. the name generated by his sticker is that of his daughter, for whom I have just created a new profile. This happens both in Mozilla Firefox (in which I created the new profile) and Google Chrome.

What have I done wrong?

Answer 1

I see from the related questions that this bug, and the repeated G2G posts about it, have been annoying people since 2019 or earlier, and that there are no plans to fix it, since it just annoys everyone who rediscovers it for a relatively short time!

The glitch only shows for the briefest of time.  Many times when reported, it has self-corrected by the time anyone else looks.

Not just with the Notables sticker, but with other stickers as well.

Answer 2

It sounds like this issue fixes itself in time, but I'm impatient. When this happens, I usually delete the sticker and then re-add it. It always fixes the problem.

If you edit the profile a second time (put a space in the biography) after the edit that places the template or sticker on the profile, it will generally fix the problem. You can sometimes see this as well after a merge, and a single edit of anything after the bug presents itself will generally fix the issue.
