Trial complete. some examples: [3], [4], [5]. I didn't notice any problems. Regards, --T.seppelt (talk) 12:59, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@T.seppelt: Good - and important - work; thank you. Once complete a (say) monthly clean-up job may be useful. I generally put {{Authority control}} above navboxes, BTW, on the principle "things about the subject" before "other things to see".

@Pigsonthewing: I get your point, but shouldn't we follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout? After approval I will implement such a periodic task. Thanks, -- T.seppelt 15:47, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
