Some PAGENAME parameters return the authors name with qualifier, e.g. Graham Duncan (botanist), which produces an undesirable output including the qualifier (which can be quite long). One solution as with {{botanist}} would be to add a second parameter with desired name format. A simpler solution would seem to be to also use parameter 1, the author abbreviation. This also produces a shorter footnote.--Michael Goodyear (talk) 15:54, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
