Yes, it is a custom tag ( _EPT Epithet). I want to get family historian and genealogist nicknames (like "The Immigrant," "Red John," etc.) out of nicknames so that nicknames are only those actually used in life.

You need this page, it's in the section titled Customising webtrees"!

"The tag and label already exist." And that is so far as the wiki page you referenced goes. And sure enough, the fact can be added with the drop down in "Facts and Events."
Now the question was: How do I get this fact in the accordion (like the Name, name parts, married name(s), aka's, and nicknames, AND how do I get it to show up in the "edit this name" popup?

I would like webtrees wiki to be preserved.
I read it quite often, it is valuable.

Okay, thanks, that is half-way there.
Now how do I get it displayed in the name accordion?

Not sure what you mean by this.
If a name contains your custom field, it should be displayed alongside the other details.

Adding _EPT to advanced name fact does create a Label (Epithet) and a blank field, but it does not set the tag on save. The tag does not show up in the raw GEDCOM and the label and value do not show up in either the name accordion or Facts and Event.
It can be set with Fact or Event add, and that makes it show up in the raw GEDCOM and in Facts and Events, but still the label and a blank field shows up in the Edit Name popup and neither the label or the value shows up in the name accordion.

If this does not save, but other tags (e.g. NICK) do save, then please could you report this on the github issue tracker. Thanks.
