 ODNBsub 

Probably not top of your priorities at the moment (my sympathies and best wishes) but I'm wondering whether we can find a solution to the formatting of . I can see the reasons why having a consistent format with  is a good idea, but until this edit of yours ODNBsub hadn't had brackets since Feb 2010. Adding brackets then meant that we ended up with double brackets when ODNBsub was used in the ""|format="" parameter of , for example.  So, as a fix for now at least, I've added the formatting directly and eliminated the brackets. This means that people will need to add brackets if they want them but won't be stuck with double brackets.  It does mean that the brackets aren't in the same font style as the message, though (e.g. Boden Professor of Sanskrit election, 1860, which is still accepting comments at peer review by the way... ). If you or any of my fellow TPSers has a better idea, I'm all for it.  Regards, Talk "
