Dear Wiki

I submitted a request to change my organizations info box to add some new parameters and make some corrected updates. But it said the response - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:InsideClimate_News - said that some parameters don't exist.

How do I get those parameters in the info box - can I insert them myself?

many thanks!

 * If you try to insert those non-existent parameters, they will not show up in the article infobox, which means adding them will do nothing. For those parameters to work, they would have to be added to Infobox website itself. Because it is protected so that only template editors and administrators can edit it, you would have to propose adding new parameters on the template talk page. — MRD2014 Talk 20:55, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Adding parameters to the template is not a good idea. Websites simply do not come with those properties. Instead, we can consider using a different infobox if this one doesn't appropriately cover the topic - maybe Template:Infobox organization may be a better fit if it's meant to be about the organization behind the website, not the website itself.
