Template talk:Infobox Israel village

message: This template needs more information, such as ability to add pushpin maps (see Municpality template)
The information, regarding geographic position should be the same as that of towns and villages, i.e., addition of longtitude and latitude
And the Infobox itself should be useable by contributors and editors of articles regarding moshavim, as moshavim are, in essence, very similar in structure (especially with the economic changes over the past decade) and layout.
I would also look to see addition of a section wherein an aerial photo could be inserted (perhaps from Google Earth, or Google Map) to show how the settlement (kibbutz or moshav, is laid out (many readers are under the assumption that all settlements are laid out the same), and indicate nearby sites of interest, proximity to important routes or towns.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SZAgassi (talk • contribs) 21:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I've reimplemented the template in the sandbox, using  as a base.  This rearranges information, bringing Israeli city articles into compliance with the look-and-feel of articles about cities in other countries.  It also adds a slew of features while making future maintenance much simpler.  I've also created a page for testcases.  Please let me know if there are any objections or concerns about this change. --Stepheng3 (talk) 22:40, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  looks great, and thank you for the addition of the footnotes parameters, and for fixing the image code.  I made some minor modifications to the line spacing in the native names, expanded the tracking category, and updated the documentation. Frietjes (talk) 16:56, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Two issues I noticed so far: the time zone parameter is not necessary; and specifically for villages, there is no need to separate population into things like "jurisdiction", "metro", etc. There is no possibility for more than one value. —Ynhockey (Talk) 10:03, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  you can remove the jurisdiction label by removing it from , which will change it to 'total' instead.  I have no objections to removing the timezone information. Frietjes (talk) 17:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Mishor Adumim: Mishor Adumim () is an industrial park located in the industrial zone of the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adumim, about 10 minutes' drive from Jerusalem, in the West Bank. --- at the page Industrial park the word "village" doesn't even exist. Note: Ma'ale Adumim uses the generic Template:Infobox settlement. TerraCyprus (talk) 13:09, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Can't really see the issue as readers cannot see the name of the infobox. As long as it's displaying the relevant information, what's the problem? Number 57 13:15, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The "problem" is explained by the first word of the section headline. TerraCyprus (talk) 13:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, reader's don't see the word village mentioned anywhere in the article. But if you think it's an issue, why don't you simply change the infobox to another one? Number 57 13:29, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wrong usage of the infobox 

message: considering that Template:Infobox settlement is used directly in each article about a place ("settlement") in Asia outside Israel/Palestine - and BTW all of Africa and all of Latin America - and considering that it is also used in articles about places ("settlements") in Israel/Palestine - do you know what the purpose of Template:Infobox Israel village is? TerraCyprus (talk) 13:18, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a wrapper of Infobox settlement, and is used to make it more convenient to add Israel-specific information (like district, regional council, settlement movement etc). For example, if you were to use Infobox settlement, you'd have to use the parameters subdivision_type, subdivision_type1, subdivision_type2, subdivision_type3, subdivision_type4 etc. The wrapper (this template) automatically fills these in with Israel-specific subdivisions and creates Israel-specific parameters (district, council etc). Number 57 13:29, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: How many places are created each year a) by Israel which would on an article use Template:Infobox Israel village b) by other entities in Asia (except for Russia)/Africa/Latin America which would on an article use Template:Infobox settlement? Would like to understand the scale of this template making "it more convenient" and not having that feature for most other places. TerraCyprus (talk) 13:35, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: There are over 1,000 uses of this template. As you can see here, several countries have wrappers of Infobox settlement. Number 57 13:42, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you answer my question aimed at finding out the scale of convenience for "Israeli villages" vs. other places in Asia (except Russia)/Africa/Latin America? TerraCyprus (talk) 13:54, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: The purpose of this template is the same as it is for the rest of the templates in . – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:34, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Then it is redundant and could be replaced by "the rest of the templates in " TerraCyprus (talk) 14:42, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think you understand the purpose of wrappers. They exist purely to make using other templates simpler. That's what the purpose of this is, and it isn't redundant. Number 57 15:21, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Yet another bug - no type 

message: The generated description only gives the name of the district without clarifying that it’s a district name.
For instance, I get “Place in Northern, Israel” when it should be “Place in Northern District, Israel”.
Thanks, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 06:35, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The easiest way to fix this is probably to change the wikilinks in  within this template to provide the word "District" as needed, so that in a given article, the line reads "District: Northern District". We can't just add the word "District" to the short description, because Judea and Samaria Area is one of the options for . – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This would also need correcting for anything in the Judea and Samaria Area as those are not in Israel. nableezy - 13:40, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
