There have been other fix me messages that show similar lack of knowledge that the fix me message will contain the record they clicked on in the url too. Suggested text:
“You’re here because you clicked a Fix Me button somewhere on Canon Lore. Which fix me you clicked on will be recorded in your message. Use this page to contact the Canon Herald. You can be anonymous if you wish, but then the Canon Herald won’t be able to reply, so please leave a name and an email address if possible. ”
Note I’ve also changed the gender of the canon herald to ambigous rather than masculine.

Well it made me giggle. I hope this was deliberately humerous.
But it does bring up an issue - Landed Barons. Should we be recording who is a landed Baron when?

Regarding landed barons: all you need to do is put their “reigns” into the database, exactly as you do for kings and queens. That’s why the list of realms on the Reign page in Gratian isn’t limited to kingdoms. Once you start doing that, I’ll make the change to the site to only display relevant ones on the Reigns page, to reduce clutter.
