Infobox settlement/ukr
Why is it necessary to fork this template? Plastikspork (talk) 04:46, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I find Category:Populated places in Ukraine and see, that many articles are without Infoboxes. Then I try to use Template:Infobox settlement. Then I see, that some parameters are repeating for articles Category:Populated places in Ukraine and some parameters of Template:Infobox settlement do not use.--Амба (talk) 11:11, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Why not have this one call the parent template, rather than simply duplicating the code. What features are missing in the parent template?  Where was this discussed?  Also, what in particular was missing from Location map that required that one to be forked?  Please suggest changes/improvements at Template talk:Location map and Template talk:Infobox settlement. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  14:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Anyone can create new template without any discussion. Template:Infobox settlement is protected. I can't edit. Template:Infobox settlement include Template:Location map. Template:Infobox settlement/ukr include Template:Location map2. Template:Location map do not work with location map templates with x, y parameters. Template:Location map2 include function of automatic_position.--Амба (talk) 14:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Next step
Okay, thank you for reverting your changes. I believe you have many great ideas, and my only objection was to how they were being deployed without much discussion. It would be better if you could propose changes, and merge them with the main template if there are no objections or problems. We can continue discussion about this at Template talk:Location map and Template talk:Infobox settlement. Again, thank you for your efforts, and I hope I haven't upset you. All the best.

 * Thank for comment and work.--Амба (talk) 21:29, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I have added the x/y functionality and label position logic to Location map. Hopefully there were no problems.  I have also updated Location map Antarctica which was entirely broken before. Thanks for your help. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  23:06, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thank.--Амба (talk) 00:07, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

You forgot to say: "I reverted, because I do not understand, how it works". I do not wish to explain it now (after revert). Good by.--Амба (talk) 00:40, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Location map: European Russia?
Hi Амба,

I noticed you had done the “Location map+ |Russia”, and decided to write to you.

Since the FIFA World Cup hosts were announced yesterday, I took a look at the 2018 FIFA World Cup page, and was not very happy with the map, which had been done on the basis of your “Location map+ |Russia”. The reason for this is that all of the proposed host cities are in European Russia, and the in present map the locations are rather crowded, and one does not get a good idea of where the host cities are located.

I thought that if there was a map showing European Russia, things would be much more clear and the map would be more informative.

Do you think that you could do a “Location map+ | European Russia”, which could be used for the 2018 FIFA World Cup page?

Or would you have any other ideas on how to imporeve the present map?

Just incidentally, does your username contain a reference to Dersu Uzala?

Yours sincerely,

Apanuggpak (talk)

Thank for questions. It is good idea for Template:Location map European Russia. I can't help to create this template. I do not know, who can help.

May be, Template:Location map Europe can be temporarily used?

While creating my username did not contain a reference to Dersu Uzala. Thank.--Амба (talk) 00:28, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

And one notice. I am not the author of the Location map of Russia. This template - copy from another wiki.--Амба (talk) 04:50, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
