-== Othername ==
-I've presumed that the othername category, described as "any other name the person has been known by" means ''widely'' known, and not merely something one person or another might have called the person, i.e., a spousal nickname, or the name of a character the actor might have played.  Would it not be helpful to clarify this?  I've heard people (usually fans) call famous actors by their character name, but that wouldn't qualify as "othername", would it?  To throw the net wide enough to include such things would, I think, open infoboxes to enormous clutter.  Thoughts?

-:Have you seen anyone try to use this parameter for character names? <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (User:<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Andy's talk]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 10:10, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
-::Yes.  That was the reason for my original post.  It's been nearly a month and I've forgotten who, but I had a bit of back and forth with someone who swore that a certain actor's character name in some film should be included in his othername category.  I went to the template guide and was surprised to see there was no clearly-defined definition and thought there ought to be, thus the request for discussion.

-:::It wouldn't hurt to explicitly state this in the documentation, so I was bold and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AInfobox_actor%2Fdoc&action=historysubmit&diff=376961760&oldid=375745548 did so]. [[User:PC78|PC78]] ([[User talk:PC78|talk]]) 16:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
-== Origin ==
-Is it possible for anyone to add an "origin" field to this infobox as per the musical artist one? Very helpful to add info if someone grew up somewhere other than where they were born.
-Thanks.

-:Better to replicate the birth_place/ residence/ nationality/ ethnicity parameters from {{Tl|Infobox person}}, on the interests of standardisation. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (User:<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Andy's talk]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 10:07, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
-== categorization ==
-We should place this template under [[:Category:Actors]]. --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] ([[User talk:Scriberius|talk]]) 20:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
-:No, because it's a template, not an actor. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (User:<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Andy's talk]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 10:08, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
