Template talk:Infobox historic site

Not sure why param 6s are not working
I recently added all the parameters to support a sixth designation. But they are not appearing on pages. See for example Statue of Liberty. Does anyone have any ideas?  Ergo Sum  19:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Edit request 5 August 2023
Adding 'event' and 'associated people' parameters

Hello! I'm just wondering if it would be possible to add the above parameters, both of which are inspired by Template:Infobox military installation. 'Event' would allow editors to list any notable events which took place at a site, and 'associated people' would allow the same for notable people. For example, a castle infobox might list a major siege and a famous castellan. The exact names of the parameters don't matter, feel free to suggest alternatives.

On a separate note, templates which use 'native name' or similar rarely bother to subtitle the section as it's typically obvious from the context that any alternative name is from another language (example). Does this template therefore need the "Native name" subtitle?

I would lay all this out in wikitext but I'm not particularly good with templates, apologies. Thank you, A.D.Hope (talk) 09:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The addition of two parameters and deletion of one parameter requires a consensus to put into effect. Please garner a consensus before reactivation of this request.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 01:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * What should I do when nobody seems interested in forming a consensus? This discussion was opened 17 days ago and hasn't attracted any input besides yours. A.D.Hope (talk) 08:49, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The consensus link presents editors with options, for example, starting an RFC discussion will often attract editors and result in consensus.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 09:11, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd support the addition, and I don't think it's controversial enough to require an RfC. ɱ  (talk) 15:43, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: add Template:Location_map label and label parameters, and mark size parameter, currently they are not available, no label parameter available. Ideally add all Location Map parameters to template.

 * Pictogram voting wait.svg Already done See the documentation, where the locmapin and related parameters are explained. To see an example of how they are used, look at the infobox at State Thomas, Dallas. I have added documentation for map_dot_label. For a mark size option, there should probably be a discussion about allowing non-standard sizing. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Request renovation fields
Would it be possible to add fields for Renovated/Renovated by/Renovated date? Sometimes with older buildings like castles and stately homes, there are significant additions over the centuries, often by notable architects. There is the "Rebuilt" field, but this implies the original was destroyed. Thank you! —KaliforniykaHi! 06:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
