Familypedia:Residences template

Showfacts residences is one of several templates designed to create an infobox on a person page, in addition to the "general" infobox (showfacts person) and the "offspring" infobox (showfacts children), which have been the only two developed up till now, April 2011,. Because the original two are now familiar, with several of us able to tweak them as desired, developing another should be within our capabilities.

At present the template looks like this (if you add a few line breaks for easier display): Purpose: Lists residences.

We have experience with place-settings(!). Street address, locality, county, nation-subdiv1, nation, and other places. We can try assembling them in the same way as we do for events.

However, "residence" has a duration too, so we need to bring year, month, day in as well, a total of two dates per residence.

It probably needs separate "subforms" in much the same way as we have separate subforms for child groups, but all could go in one table because they would not have separate headings as child groups do. More of them than child groups, though, almost certainly. Some people, e.g. soldiers and fostered orphans, moved around a lot.

The dates will be compilations from the various subproperties, structurally the same as we have in the general infobox. "Location" could presumably be a similar sort of compilation, as we have in existing infoboxes; "other place" might be better at the start, because it's often a building rather than an obsolete country name.
 * 1) street, locality, county, nation-subdiv1, nation, other place, arrival date, departure date
 * 2) location, arrival date, departure date
