:::Well, it is certainly the case that in terms of the Gondolin houses they aren't noble houses (in that they are all related), so they really need to be People; I don't see how it can be confusing for people within people, which we've had before and it's not been an issue. It's an issue where the templates are too granular (and I know Wikipedia has had this issue), as it becomes a total nightmare to manage them, which is why my aim is basically to combine templates for simplicity. Some small modifications to the Peoples template can be made and it would cover this, to be honest.--{{User:Mith/sig}} 19:16, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

So this is the idea. I've never made an infobox, so this can be improved. I only lament we don't have better quality of the heraldic devices. The idea is that all look like the Feanor's. I'll wait for any opinion before using it. --LorenzoCB 16:17, 7 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The "leader" section is for titles of the leaders or when the founder is always the same leader, like in the Houses of the Gondolin.--LorenzoCB 16:24, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm really not sure about this infobox, to be honest. I think for all uses of this infobox you can just use Template:People infobox. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 08:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Bump.--Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 17:38, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I admit that in some cases, like the Houses of the Gondothlim, the People infobox could be used, but appling People infobox to House of Fëanor or House of Húrin among others could be confusing, as they are houses within proper Peoples. What's the problem having an specific template for this? Also, this one differs a little from People infobox. --LorenzoCB 09:03, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think its fair to have something like this, though I think it has to be different enough from the peoples infobox for it to stay. Gaetano 00:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
