[edit] Discussion moved here from Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Pennsylvania state parks
Comment: I would love to see {{State parks of Pennsylvania map}} incorporated into the {{Protected Areas of Pennsylvania}} template, similar to {{National parks of the United States}}. Nationalparks 21:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's a good idea. I wish I knew how to do it. Do you? How about you Ruhrfisch? This would be a lot of work. There are many protected areas in PA that are not state parks and therefore not on the locator map. Dincher 01:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think I can do it, but I am also concerned that there are many other protected areas (state forests, scenic rivers, national parks and a national forest) which would make the map even more crowded, and in the cases of the state and national forests and rivers are not easily represented by one dot. I am not sure if I could do it just for the state parks section of the template? May I suggest that further discussion of this idea be moved to Template talk:Protected Areas of Pennsylvania as it is not really concerned with the peer review of the List of Pennsylvania state parks? Thanks, Ruhrfisch 05:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I moved the discussion there, but {{Protected Areas of Pennsylvania}} template is not a nav box (it is a very fancy wikitable) so my kluge idea of pasting from {{National parks of the United States}} and tweaking won't work. Maybe VerruckteDan can do this - he made the Pennsylvania Protected Areas template. Ruhrfisch 05:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I do like the suggestion, just not sure the best way to try and implement it. I'm gonna spend some time this weekend to see what kinds of alternatives I can come up with. VerruckteDan 16:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. My guess is there are enough parks it would be in the upper right corner and still have text of park names below it (so not as confusing with the other protected areas). I tried pasting the template in in various places but either broke the nav box table or could not get the text to wrap around the map. All my tries were previews, no saves.
