Category deletion
I've been trying to narrow the template cats as much as possible. In other words, using general cats for subcats or for templates that can't otherwise be categorized. Lots of cases where a template is in a subcategory AND a main category. In this case, it was in both. Geography infobox and regular old old infobox. Well the template in question was in a category (North American country subdivision infobox templates) which was already indirectly in the Geography infobox category, which is in the general infobox category. So the specific cat basically replaced the 2 general ones. Hopefully I'm not talking gibberish. :) --Woohookitty 00:15, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well. Maybe we should call it Wikipediaese. :) I'm just trying to get it as organized as possible. I guess that's the best way to sum it up. And templates in particular tended to be categorized in as many places as possible, so you'd end up with overpopulated cats. That's what I'm trying to fix. Probably makes more sense. :) --Woohookitty 02:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm not from PA.. I'm from TX. Maybe the other guy was from PA, but I'm not sure.
Why not use "near Shanksville" ? The crash did not happen in the Shanksville limits... WhisperToMe 01:03, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Infobox U.S. County question
Low importance question: De Baca County, New Mexico uses the Infobox U.S. County template, but it seems to be generating a link for a .png file, not the .svg file as shown on the template page. There is an .svg file in the commons, but I assume it was not being shown due to a file name mismatch. The syntax on the De Baca page doesn't currently match the template's syntax, but it didn't seem to make a difference in the preview. For now, I've uploaded a .png file so an image will be displayed, so that's not an issue. I was mostly wondering what I was missing, but I'm also bringing up the subject here in case there's another issue that should be attended to. --Mud4t 07:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Is the De Baca SVG file named
? That file is red-linked, so I didn't think it existed. De Baca County is the one exception in the Infobox U.S. County template — because that file couldn't be found, there's actually a line in the template that says "if it's De Baca County, get me the PNG file, not the SVG file:
[[Image:Map of {{{state}}} highlighting {{{county}}}{{#switch:{{{county}}}|De Baca County = .png|.svg}}
- Maybe the file isn't named correctly? In any case, if you can help to get this resolved that would be great — it's not cool to have that exception county in the template. Timneu22 11:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
