Template talk:Infobox law enforcement agency

Tracking
Hey Frietjes, could you update the tracking? I think the parameter list is out of sync. Also, the logic for the image captions seems strange. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 18:57, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Plastikspork, I think I generally sorted it out. I created Category:Pages using infobox law enforcement agency with paramilitary parameter to separately track that parameter since it seems commonly used, and added additional tracking to find pages using invisible formed or formedmonthday data.  we should probably just merge all of these into formed.

 * I will update the doc to remove defaults for image captions for example "Patch of the {{para|{agencyname}}". I recently added TemplateData and using the monthly parameter usage report I see that imagesize is still used in several articles. Originally, the code included both imagesize and image_size with imagesize removed in Rehman's re-write in April 2018. imagesize will need to be replaced with underscore image_size in the articles. I want to see what articles are using "Local civilian agency" for the "General nature" label. It is tricky as the parameter local has two uses in the code for the "General nature" label. Firstly, it changes police from "Civilian police" to "Local civilian police" when used together. Secondly, local can also be used in isolation to display "Local civilian agency". Frietjes explains in the section above, . Is there a way to generate a list of all articles that use local for "Local civilian agency" in isolation without police? As I am considering removing it or renaming etc.. Usage report shows local is used 689 times.--Melbguy05 (talk) 07:36, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Melbguy05! Rather than try to figure out the tortured logic, I just put some hidden categories next to the labels associated with y.  You can find the entries in Category:Pages using law enforcement agency with local civilian agency general nature and Category:Pages using law enforcement agency with local civilian police general nature.  I also added Category:Pages using law enforcement agency with civilian police general nature, but I don't think you were interested in that one :)  Let me know if need more tracking.  Thanks!

 * Hi thanks for the quick reply. The switch code (3) - local civilian agency displayed with local civilian police as (4) didn't check if police was blank. I have changed (4) so that it now checks that police is blank which means now only local civilian police displays. I think this was the intention of the infobox code author Pee Tern (now Aoziwe), I discussed this a few weeks ago User talk:Aoziwe on their talk trying to understand local. An agency that didn't use the word police was termed a local civilian agency.--Melbguy05 (talk) 15:41, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I want to check the codes used from Template:Specialist lea type descr in speciality1 to speciality6 to perhaps revise the wording and add new ones. From the monthly parameter usage report I can see the unique values for speciality2 to speciality5 but not speciality1 which has over > 50 unique values. Is there another way to see the unique values of speciality1? Otherwise, I need to check each of the 216 articles that use speciality1. thanks --Melbguy05 (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Here are the pages using the speciality parameters:


 * I know you asked for sample values, and this is just a list of the articles. I will work on generating a list of all unique values shortly.  Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  22:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Facilities header: separate parameters with a new header Equipment
The header for vehicles, boats, aircraft and animals parameters is "Facilities". I propose separating these with a new header "Equipment". This leaves stations, airbases and lockups parameters which are buildings with the Facilities header. I created a test case. Some definitions of facilities do include equipment. I prefer a precise heading. The documentation advises editors they can use the buildings parameters for equipment as well. The usage report shows that lockuptype does not have any equipment values so separating shouldn't affect any articles.--Melbguy05 (talk) 08:21, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Colours parameter
Hi I reverted your edit to the infobox as you removed the Dissolved parameter. What is the purpose of the new parameter you wish to add Colours? In the future instead of changing the live infobox you can use the infobox sandbox Template:Infobox law enforcement agency/sandbox for testing and view your changes at Template:Infobox law enforcement agency/testcases.

Overviewed by?
Should read “overseen by” or “supervised by”. An overview is a summary. Kaihsu (talk) 22:33, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Changed it to "Overseen by". Melbguy05 (talk) 07:22, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. There are still: Overseen by
 * The noun is “oversight”. Kaihsu (talk) 07:26, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Is correct? Kaihsu (talk) 19:41, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * OMG UCSD Kaihsu, I knew it would happen some day! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 13:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you helped me with tracking a few years ago. I was hoping you might be able to help again. I need a tracking category for overviewbody. I am replacing overviewbody with oversightbody. I have been using the TemplateData monthly parameter usage report to find articles using overviewbody. Thanks Melbguy05 (talk) 08:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Melbguy05, sure I have added Category:Pages using infobox law enforcement agency with overviewbody parameter for you. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 13:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
