Template talk:Infobox architectural practice

Shorter field names
The last three fields of the infobox (significant buildings, significant projects, significant design) are a bit too long and get sometimes wraped into two lines, messing up the layout. I suggest removing the "significant" (since this is self-explanatory for an infobox); Eventually it could be reintroduced in the title bar (i.e. "Significant work").

URL?
The documentation for this infobox says "If it has a URL, use " — but there is no website/homepage/URL parameter. Should one be added, or is there already another way to handle this? Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 23:27, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There hasn't been an "official website" field yet. The aim should be to make the articles so good that there is no need for external links, particularly not in the infobox, but in the present state of most articles about architecture offices I understand that most readers would just wish to navigate away from Wikipedia. Anyway, I invited further input from WikiProject Architecture, as this is a template used in ca. 100 articles. -- ELEKHHT 00:55, 11 May 2012 (UTC)


 * My point of view is that, if the subject of an article has an official website, it should be listed under 'External links' as is normal custom and practise. Sionk (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm just talking about consistency here. If this infobox doesn't/shouldn't have a URL field, then the line about the URL in the documentation should be cut. If it should have a URL (as do, , and , to list some occasionally-used templates), then that should happen. But right now, the documentation and the infobox don't match.

 * Note that the documentation states "if" at the beginning, so the whole thing does not apply. But I do agree with you that that instruction is confusing, and not user friendly. It is a generic message being transcluded from UF-hcard-geo, and I guess is the result of some kind of technical efficiency drive to merge template documentations. It was added September 2008 without discussion at WikiProject Architecture. I am not sure how to get rid of it. -- ELEKHHT 03:54, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Getting rid of it would just entail editing Template:Infobox architectural practice/doc to swap out UF-hcard-geo for only its relevant parts. Not a big deal if hCards aren't considered valuable; if they are considered valuable, then a URL ought to be added to this template to make the hCard more useful.

 * Modified per your request. If you find other irrelevant instructions please feel free to remove them. Thanks for suggesting these improvements. -- ELEKHHT 03:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Number of employees field
I think company size is often relevant for infobox, so I am proposing to add a field for the number of employees. -- ELEKHHT 07:16, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
