Template talk:Infobox Micronation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Use this template?
I've made use of this template in Lovely (micronation) to demo it out. The template has been copied about to many micronation articles, so this is an attempt to unify them to one place. Comments? --Billpg 22:49, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- It didn't work as expected with legacy browsers. This caused some troubles on Sealand with the similar , where I was finally able to fix it by adding width="300" align="right". Also added here: Omniplex 05:41, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Micronation statement
In common with the real-country template, I've added a space for footnotes. For Lovely, I've moved the statement that it doesn't claim land into the footnotes. The note that this entity is a micronation may as well go there. I think the fullName looks a lot better in big letters, in common with all the other micronation and real-nation infoboxes. --Billpg 00:47, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Here's a showcase of different designs...
I'm thinking that the "Fixed data value" is best, but make that value unfixed. Possible values could include "Current micronation" or "Historic micronation" (eg Republic of Rose Island which no longer exists). What does everyone think? --Billpg 01:22, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
which infobox guideline exactly? main article mention is not enough, a box must not mislead the reader if he doesn't read the article. -- User:Kolokol 20:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC) copied from edit summary.
- See Wikipedia:Infobox templates under "Design and usage".
- "3. The top line should be reasonably bold, and contain the full (official) name of the item. This does not need to match the article's Wikipedia title. It should not contain a link. Avoid {{{PAGENAME}}} as pages may be moved for disambiguation."
- I'm quite happy to mention "Micronation" in the infobox, but only if the information is in its place. Sticking it right up top like that's the only thing that matters is not that place. --Billpg 22:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
