[edit] Table

I have inserted a table that WikiProject Airports are trying to make standard, and that I am adding to all Australian airport articles. I have completed the table but for an appropriate image. There was none of the airport in the article for me to use, so I've placed a temporary picture of Perth (from that article). Perhaps somebody could source and upload an appropriate image for use.--Cyberjunkie 09:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

don't they have a proper parameterized template yet? it would really help keep them in sync and keep all the wikitable syntax out of the article itself. if not, it should be created at template:Infobox Airport (i think they had a test version at template:Tmp which could be moved there). clarkk 10:32, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm not participating in WikiProject Airports. I just stumbled across it and figured the table would be a worthwhile addition to the major Australian airports. As far as I'm aware, they are only in 'testing stage' (note the notice at end of table). There are at least three different tables being trialed. I took the one the Canadian and UK Wikipedians are using, and customised it for Australian airports, incorporating some aspects of the US table. Maybe I should just create a template for the Australian airports, and let WikiProject Airports do as they wish.--Cyberjunkie 10:49, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

i would start an australian one (keep it consistent with the other one as much as possible), and ultimately they may choose to adopt the australian one as the standard (or base the standard on it). either way it would be good to have a standard one at least for the oz airports (like i did with template:Infobox Australian University. clarkk 11:42, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've created a template under Template:Infobox Australian Airport. It being the first large template I've ever attempted, it needs a bit of a fix-up. Would you be able to check the syntax? I'm having a hard time with coordinates in particular. And I've just realised that not all airports have two runways - Sydney has three. Does this mean all templates must have space for three runways, even if they only have two?--Cyberjunkie 14:16, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I added two sentences to the end of "Introduction of A380." I think people will find it interesting. -Amit, 07/04/05

Serious doubts about becoming Perth International Airport in 1952 - need proof! Sure it was Guildford Aerodrome then!SatuSuro 13:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC) oops but ok - maybe it was 'official' then! SatuSuro
