Hello,
Thanks for your message. I was in fact the person who had the previous_post field added to the Infobox several years ago to make a distinction between other posts that a Bishop currently holds (eg a Cardinal who is Archbishop of whereever and also Cardinal-Priest of x church) and posts that they held before their current posting. See Pope Benedict XVI, Raymond Leo Burke and Salvatore Cordileone for how this is used. There was a time when we talked about having the different positions listed with appointment dates and successor/predecessor for each role, as you get in a politician's infobox, though it was decided that in some cases, this would make the infobox twice as long as the article, so we decided it best to just list them as mentioned above.
There has been much debate about the Church section, as it is rather negated/duplicated by the Denomination section below. There was some consensus some years back that this should be their Cathedral - though in many places it is now simply left blank, given that it doubles up lower down. Mangwanani(talk) 12:42, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
Unfortunately that isn't how the infobox is set up: it would be good if |previous_post= was directly below |other_post=. As said before, Church is the top of a cascading set of parameters: If we are thinking of the Catholic Church then |church= could equal any of the particular churches (Roman Catholic, Maronite Church, etc) but they would all by "Denomination = Catholicism"; likewise with Anglicanism there is the Church of England, Episcopal Church etc; "Church = Church of Scotland" would be "Denomination = Presbyterianism". Gaia Octavia AgrippaTalk 12:13, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Well I'll concede the issue of Church in that regard and leave it as that.
However, there is a definite need to make a distinction between |previous_post= and |other_post=, as |other_post= has now long been standardised amongst Catholic clergy, especially Cardinals, to mean other posts they hold concurrently with their see/dicastory. I think it is definitely something we should take back to the Template talk page to be moved to the upper part of the infobox as you suggest. If one looks at the Italian infobox, there is a clear distinction between Incarichi attuali and Incarichi ricoperti, which are both located where you would put them, and I would agree that it is better there than in the personal information section. I must say that I have a slight preference to the French infobox, which allows you to follow the line of succession for each post they have had.

Welcome to the one hundredth and forty second WikiProject Yorkshire monthly newsletter.
Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WP:YORKS has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 15,275 last month to 15,346 on 29 January 2020). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 156 is ahead of WP:GM who have 87. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 68 out of a total number of 4,467 articles.
Currently we have fifty two Yorkshire featured articles:
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.
Brexit
Well by the time you read this Brexit will have happened and this is the tidy-up that needs doing this month. You can leave the constituency link in articles that use {{infobox UK place}} as the template will hide the field in the output. Those using other templates will need to be edited individually to remove/hide the information. There are also a number of articles that mention the fact in the text of the article and these will need editing to remove the information or show that it was only valid until 31 January 2020.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The February 2020 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.
Monitoring is essential Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Moves Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.
Thanks
