Not sure why param 6s are not working[edit]

I recently added all the parameters to support a sixth designation. But they are not appearing on pages. See for example Statue of Liberty. Does anyone have any ideas? Ergo Sum 19:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding 'event' and 'associated people' parameters

Hello! I'm just wondering if it would be possible to add the above parameters, both of which are inspired by Template:Infobox military installation. 'Event' would allow editors to list any notable events which took place at a site, and 'associated people' would allow the same for notable people. For example, a castle infobox might list a major siege and a famous castellan. The exact names of the parameters don't matter, feel free to suggest alternatives.

On a separate note, templates which use 'native name' or similar rarely bother to subtitle the section as it's typically obvious from the context that any alternative name is from another language (example). Does this template therefore need the "Native name" subtitle?

I would lay all this out in wikitext but I'm not particularly good with templates, apologies. Thank you, A.D.Hope (talk) 09:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The addition of two parameters and deletion of one parameter requires a consensus to put into effect. Please garner a consensus before reactivation of this request. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 01:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What should I do when nobody seems interested in forming a consensus? This discussion was opened 17 days ago and hasn't attracted any input besides yours. A.D.Hope (talk) 08:49, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus link presents editors with options, for example, starting an RFC discussion will often attract editors and result in consensus. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 09:11, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support the addition, and I don't think it's controversial enough to require an RfC.

Already done See the documentation, where the |locmapin= and related parameters are explained. To see an example of how they are used, look at the infobox at State Thomas, Dallas. I have added documentation for |map_dot_label=. For a mark size option, there should probably be a discussion about allowing non-standard sizing. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
