[edit] Merging templates

FYI, from a quick scan of articles, I notice more than one venue template is being used (one example is {{uk music venue}}). Ideally, we should merge all the features into the {{Infobox music venue}} template. CloudNine 10:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Thats a good idea. I didn't even notice there were two templates. Acidskater 15:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Added some useful features from {{uk music venue}}. Once I can get these optional parameters sorted out, I'll start converting. See London Astoria for an example. CloudNine 18:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Done that as well. Here's a list of articles to convert. however, there's an annoying space between the title of the page and infobox now. I've posted at Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes to seek some technical help. CloudNine 08:34, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
And {{uk music venue}} is at WP:TFD. CloudNine 09:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Venues lacking geographical coordinates

I've noticed several venue articles lacking geographical coordinates. I plan to extend {{WikiProject Music venues}} in order to categorize those articles without coords, so we can better focus our efforts. CloudNine 17:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Add |nocoords=yes to articles lacking geographical co-ordinates; this puts them in Category:Music venues lacking coordinates. CloudNine 17:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Venue

I created the template {{Infobox Venue}} a while ago for usage in all non-stadium venues. I just discovered the template {{Infobox music venue}}, which has less parameters. I think the two should be merged, retaining the title {{Infobox Venue}} because the template can be used on non-music venues, such as theaters for musicals and plays. I'll go ahead and update the parameters in Infobox Venue right now. –Dream out loud (talk) 18:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I tagged {{Infobox music venue}} as deprecated and added new parameters to {{Infobox Venue}}. The ladder should be used from now on because it has the same parameters as the original infobox, plus many more. –Dream out loud (talk) 03:03, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project expansion proposal

Just a suggestion that it may be better if this project was expanded to cover all venues in general as it may be too narrow for a scope. Similar projects such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports facilities have become inactive and so it may be a good idea to merge such projects to create one project for all venues. Thanks.
