If anyone wants to change the appearance of the template to look more like the old table that used to be on a few pages, go ahead.  This is what it looked like (to the right). — Chris ( t c ) — 22:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have the skillz to change it, but it definitely looks better without the internal borders. 5minutes 17:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this field really necessary? It seems like it could change frequently as that site adds additional waterfalls or updates existing heights.  Also, not all waterfalls that exist are listed on that site. --MattWright (talk) 17:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll echo this comment.  There's enough debate about "highest" waterfall, whether talus is included, etc. that this field seems a bit extraneous. 5minutes 17:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I think an optional locator x and locator y should be added, using :Image:Locator Red.svg. This way if their is no picture of the waterfall, someone could add a blank map and use locator x and locator y to make a red dot. Nocturnal Wanderer sign 01:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Should Run (horizontal distance a stream flows through a waterfall) be included in the infobox?

replies: text: No.  Its hard enough to determine an accurate height for various waterfalls.  Any reference where you see Run listed is more than likely an estimate and thus doesn't belong on Wikipedia due to its speculatory nature (yes, the Run figures used in the World Waterfall Database are largely estimated).Bryan Swan  |  World Waterfall Database (talk) 00:18, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The template page says, under "Usage", that there is an "average_width" field, but it is not described in the "Description of fields" section, or anywhere else it seems. Does it work, and if so what does "average width" even mean? Thanks. Pfly (talk) 04:23, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I documented the parameter and I think I have figured out the meaning. Average width is the width of the falls at the crest (brink) when the watercourse is at average flow. So what is the width parameter. I'm not sure. Perhaps, it could be used as a less well defined measurement. For example, some falls are seasonal and average flow might be a relatively meaningless measurement (but then so is width). This doesn't sound like science. Maybe there should be a maximum flow and maximum width parameters? I don't know where an editor could source that kink of data. See Iguazú. –droll [chat] 19:13, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
