I changed the, "Spouse" to, "Partner" in the infobox as she is not legally married but that line is not getting displayed now. Someone please correct it.-27.7.1.254 (talk) 04:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. You accidentally capitalized the parameter "Partner" when it should be all lowercase: "partner". ––FormalDude talk 04:37, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Step-children

@Krimuk2.0: Hi, it is regarding this edit. Per Template:Infobox person, we can include "adoptive, foster, or step-parents" in the "|parents=" parameter, will it not be logical to add stepchildren in "|children=" parameter? Though it is not explicitly mention in the documentation, unlike the former. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:21, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I can't think of them as her stepchildren. They were adults when Malini and their father married. I'm not sure there's any information that they even lived in the same house. They have their own mother and Malini is their father's wife, not their stepmother. This is of course just my opinion. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:49, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on the circumstances. If the stepchildren were to have lived with/been raised by her, then it would have made sense to mention them, as Shahid says above. In this case, they share no relationship. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Shshshsh and Krimuk2.0: Fair enough. Anyway, I'd make a suggestion in the template t/p for the "|children=" parameter to codify something similar to the parents parameter. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:11, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
