Template talk:Infobox German place

message: : This undiscussed change has changed the case where the  parameter is set to Bürgermeister. Before today, that value linked to Mayor, but now it links to Burgomaster. Is that intentional? See this test case for the difference. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:24, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked whether there were any articles that used the parameter value Bürgermeister, and there aren't any in Article namespace, but clearly there is one in Template namespace: the testcases page. I've unlinked it now, if someone should add a linked Bürgermeister to the Bürgermeistertitel parameter it will show up in the parameter report I check regularly.

message: In Frankfurt we have 4 ruling parties. The template shows only 3 of them. Is there a way to handle that issue? --Nasiwin (talk) 11:43, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Bonn also has 4 ruling parties. The workaround chosen there was to fill in two parties in the 3rd ruling party field: |ruling_party3 = Left / Volt It's not perfect, but it works. Markussep Talk 18:34, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

text: just added the option to add a 4th and 5th party (thanks!), so the workaround is no longer needed. Markussep Talk 20:04, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

message: The documentation is unclear, how does one activate a standard mapframe on a location that doesn't have a specific image file? --Joy (talk) 14:21, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Remove  from the infobox in the article. You can test this at Aalen. Remove  and its value without saving the article, and click Preview. You will see a mapframe map if you click "[show]". – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, it's an either-or situation, I see now, thanks. Can we make it possible to see both? Sometimes the prepared map is nice, but sometimes the maplink zoom out function is also nice to better see context. --Joy (talk) 19:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I expect that it is possible, but I am not willing to try to figure out the code to make it work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, the syntax is horrendous, looks like nobody made an effort to use better indentation. --Joy (talk) 10:24, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone, the way this infobox is formatted is giving the :Category:Pages using infobox settlement with bad settlement type error on some pages (see, for example, Hellersdorf), and I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks so much! HeyElliott (talk) 18:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm puzzled by this error, I can't see why Hellersdorf would be categorized as using a bad settlement type, when Pillnitz, which uses the same parameters (type = Quarter, City = Dresden), isn't. Markussep Talk 12:48, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I did some troubleshooting, and I found that if I changed  to blank, or anything aside from "Berlin", the error category went away. I don't know if that is a problem with the article or with the settlement short description module. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:47, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That makes sense, then it should be the same problem for places in Hamburg, where state and city are also the same. And it is, see e.g. Eidelstedt. Markussep Talk 21:14, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
