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?

:::::Those project pages disagree with you. [[MOS:IMGSIZE]]: {{tq|Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified.

I'm not sure where you're getting the numbers of 250px, 235px, and 1.14 from; those pages don't mention those values. There are only 85 templates that make use of the maxsize parameter; hardly 'many.' [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]] ([[User talk:SWinxy|talk]]) 22:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC) |

::::::::"Small carveout exception", or in other words, policies and guidelines have small details you literally have to follow.

::::::::::"I can't recall" isn't a good argument.

Can {{ping|Hike395}} please pitch in on how to adjust this infobox to allow for scalable images and image maps? I was looking through your changes to the infobox language template.

I think {{tl|infobox NRHP}} may work well with the code "|sizedefault=frameless|upright=1.136" (or 1.14). Images scale up with the user preferences set for 400px.

:* Unfortunately, there's no easy way for pushpin maps ({{para|locmapin}}) to accept upright parameters |

::If the maximum size of 325px in the sandbox works, I think it is unnecessary and contrary to MOS. If I have a browser window that is 2000px wide and choose a thumb size in Preferences of 400px because everything else looks too small in comparison to the rest of the page, image declarations should respect that thumb size preference, so the max size in px should be removed. If, on the other hand, the upright value overrides the px value, which it presumably should, then the max px size in the template doesn't do anything and can be removed. I do not have the energy right now to create test cases to see what actually happens. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 13:51, 21 March 2023 (UTC) |

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)
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.
