Template talk:Infobox former subdivision

Template-protected edit request on 22 July 2023
Could language fields be supported in some form? An editor (Nederlandse Leeuw) attempted to document official languages of Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo but used a workaround (entered it in a deputy field) that doesn't look or work great. Thank you! –Vipz (talk) 01:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, please! I tried all sorts of things, and eventually I had to come up with this imperfect workaround in order to state languages in the infobox. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 06:11, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Edit request 23 December 2023
Description of suggested change: The "History" section of this template seems to sometimes appear twice - see Province of Catania and Template:Infobox former subdivision/testcases. Could someone please fix the template so it doesn't do this? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 04:48, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ The duplicate (or alternate) History section appears to be present in a couple hundred pages. The parameters that create it do not appear to be documented. I suppressed it with an #if statement if none of the parameters are populated, and it worked on the testcases page and in a couple of pages that I checked. Please ping me with any error reports. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:38, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Populations and missing thousands separator
Due to this edit, there are at least 233 articles without thousands separators. 89.166.104.253 (talk) 12:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Should be sorted now. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 12:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Date formatting issue
This (via parameters like 1741 1867 July 15 October 18) is outputting dates in non-standard (not-MOS:DATE-permissible) format, as July 15 1741 and October 18 1867 – as seen at Russian colonization of North America.

By default, it should be doing 18 October 1867 (dmy being the more common format, site-wide). With some parameter switch like mdy or yes, it should output US-format dates as October 18, 1867. But October 18 1867 isn't a thing. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅, and added a dmy param to match. Primefac (talk) 12:42, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
