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! [[User:Kaliforniyka|<b>—Kaliforniyka</b>]]<sup>[[User talk:Kaliforniyka|Hi!]]</sup> 06:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

The {{tld|lang-??}} templates are going away ({{slink|Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2024_September_27|Replace_and_delete_lang-??_templates}}). As the {{tld|lang-??}} templates are deleted, the {{para|subheader}} parameter in {{tlx|Infobox}} will stop working as intended. Consider using multiple calls to {{tlx|native name}} or a single call to {{tlx|native name list}} or use {{tlx|langx}} in some way. The utility functions available from [[Module:Lang]] might also be helpful.

I made a change to the sandbox to allow for the default image size to be used, and removed the limit on the size of the image. Both make it so that the image is able to be displayed how the user and editor wish, without limiting them. Tests look okay.

::Can we discuss this? The "default size" for infoboxes, while it sounds nice, was never too accurate. Most infoboxes have a default width of 250px, and thus upright=1.14 is a perfect default size. As well, many infoboxes have a max size parameter. No infobox should be wider than 325px, and none really are, but this prevents the many newer editors from making such a mistake, and does no harm otherwise. Can SWinxy provide any cases where these edits actually lead to improvements?

:::So, my settings are to make images 400px wide for reasons. The problem is with infoboxes that think they know a better image size, and will override mine and others' preferences, be they set their preferred size larger or smaller, when there isn't a good rationale for doing so (e.g. important visual elements that can't be scaled along with the image). I've ''never'' seen a max size parameter until now, so I would disagree there are 'many' infoboxes with them. The vast majority of infoboxes I deal with don't force an image size. I am suspect of the claim that new editors would change the size of infobox images to be larger than they should. Does this even happen? Do editors not fix that?

I'm not sure where you're getting the numbers of 250px, 235px, and 1.14 from; those pages don't mention those values.

Request renovation fields

[edit]

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)[reply]

native-names subheader will stop working as intended

[edit]

The {{lang-??}} templates are going away (Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 September 27 § Replace and delete lang-?? templates). As the {{lang-??}} templates are deleted, the |subheader= parameter in {{Infobox}} will stop working as intended. Consider using multiple calls to {{native name}} or a single call to {{native name list}} or use {{langx}} in some way. The utility functions available from Module:Lang might also be helpful.

A fortnight gone without comment or action so I have reimplemented |subheader= with {{native name list}}.
