Would someone mind adding support for the country Gibraltar (country code GIB).

The only post-nominals I'm aware of within Gibraltar are MP, for Members of the Gibraltar Parliament. Currently some pages use the UK's MP post-nominal, which is inappropriate in cases where the post-nominal is due to membership of the Gibraltar Parliament. My current workaround is {{post-nominals|country=GIB|size=100%|list=[[Member of parliament|MP]]|MP}}. Recollect4741 (talk) 15:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This would require creating Template:Post-nominals/GIB (compare Template:Post-nominals/GBR), which does not require any advanced permissions. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You, I've done that now Recollect4741 (talk) 22:32, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no option for the postnom FRSA for Canada. It should be above FRSC. Aknell4 (talk · contribs) 02:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Royal Society of Arts is international and uses the same post nominal globally (I am a fellow). Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 03:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Either way, {{post-nominals|country=CAN|FRSA}} doesn't display anything. Aknell4 (talk · contribs) 14:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Completed – {{post-nominals|country=CAN|FRSA}} → FRSA. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 02:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

for the British Empire, include the option ICS for Indian Civil Service. example on M. R. Sachdev. Juwan (talk) 03:13, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Surely that's an organization not a post-nominal? DrKay (talk) 16:50, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template is causing a "Template loop detected" error at Portal:Maldives/Selected_articles#Selected_articles_13. @Pppery: you may be able to help, or perhaps to determine that it doesn't really matter. – Fayenatic London 09:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to not care - that page is extremely obscure and the error won't show up if the entry gets selected to be transcluded onto the base portal. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 14:26, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
