[edit] Coordinates

• I can't seem to get the coordinates to show up in the article Leo J. Ryan Memorial Park. Smee 01:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

• Fixed - the cut and paste template on the main article page had the wrong tag, [[Geographic coordinate system|Coordinates]]= instead of just coordinates (Bobbacon 08:46, 23 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Image size

• I want to set a default 'image size' of 275px that will automatically be defined, if the template in the parks page does not contain an entry in the 'image size' field. i want to allow each page to remain to have the option of defining its own image size if required.

[edit] Not for state parks

Can this page say clearly that this infobox should not be used for large state parks? Those should take {{infobox protected area}} instead. Daniel Case 14:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] broken image

When I wrote Whale Watching Center back around April 12, 2007, the photo appeared fine. I just looked at the page and now the image is a redlink. It appears this change is the most likely suspect, where someone added a default image if one is not specified.

A sampling of a half dozen articles using this template all seem to be fine, but I did notice they all specify a pixel size for the image. Isn't that against the spirit of image size style recommendations? Whale Watching is easily fixed by putting a pixel size in, but "thumb" worked quite nicely before, obeying the user's preferences. Thoughts? —EncMstr 23:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] annual visitors

A GA reviewer queried why the annual visitors figure wasn't appearing in the infobox for York Museum Gardens ... and I see it doesn't appear for the example given here, either! Is the template broken, or is the documentation wrong (eg different wording needed?) PamD (talk) 15:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Another editor working on York Museum Gardens has solved this: the text used in the template has to be "visitors=" although it then displays as "Annual visitors"! I've amended the template/doc page in 3 places to reflect this, and the demo infobox now includes the previously-missing figure! PamD (talk) 23:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
