message: What on earth is going on there? I've rolled back a whole bunch of changes, because we are trying to standardise infoboxes with an infobox class and convert them to Wikitax! I'm also finding it tough to see where this is being discussed (there is a comment in the edit summaries that it is being discussed, but nothing on any of the template talk pages) - I thought I'd ask what's going on here. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The previous mountain infobox template had some trimming for the borders (external and internal) and it looked good. The current template unfortunately has lost it. I know there has been a lot of work involved in getting the standard template up and running and we all appreciate it, but how about adding the border back in. I was testing a few styles and have come up with this style. What do people think about this? There is also another style with a thicker border for the outside (check it out here) that I have played with and personally, I am not sure which is better. If it is agreed that a border should be added, then all the templates will have to be tweaked of course. How bout a vote? Nomadtales 23:48, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

*The darker lined border on the outside looks better, I agree. I'm not totally convinced yet of using it on the interior borders (perhaps it will grow on me). I say nay on the other one. RedWolf 05:22, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

text: *I still don't really like all the inner borders. It also makes it inconsistent with the music album and taxo infoboxes. RedWolf 00:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I've searched Wikipedia but there doesn't seem to be a general consensus (a fact I'm surprised about) on hills that shared names. Particularly in the UK there are several hills with brackets, High Street (Lake District) and Fairfield (Lake District) but some with a comma, High Raise, Langdale and High Seat, Yorkshire Dales. Can someone please tell me which one's right, because a lot of hill pages in the UK are going to need moving and that's going to take a lot of work. --Mark J 15:44, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

message: :Category:Himalaya seems a little odd. It includes the country level categories for Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Tibet as subcats and its only parent is :Category:Geography of Asia. Most of the articles are mountains in the Himalaya range. Mount Everest isn't even included (it's in :Category:Mountains of Nepal and :Category:Mountains of Tibet), nor is Himalayas. It seems like perhaps the Himalaya category belongs under the national mountain categories it cuts across. Anyways, I thought I'd point out the weirdness. Mike Dillon 01:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's that odd, look at :Category:Rocky Mountains, which is a trans-national mountain range. It is strange that Mount Everest is not in the category, though. -- hike395 02:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What about the national categories as subcategories. Should it be the other way around? It would be like having :Category:United States and :Category:Canada under :Category:Rocky Mountains and :Category:Canadian Rockies. Mike Dillon 04:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that does seem wrong. I'll attempt a fix. -- hike395 06:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I've made a couple of prototype boxes for inclusion on pages for volcanoes of the Cascade Range, thus avoiding a long list of "See also" links and allowing readers to browse from one page to another.  I've ordered the volcanoes from north to south.  I've not included any of the volcanoes considered extinct, and I've not included any very minor volcanoes (e.g. small cinder cones associated with major volcanoes).  I'd appreciate comments; they are at User:Gwimpey/Cascade_volcanoes.  Please leave comments here or on my talk page.  The image is a shrunk image from Mount Rainier.  It's GFDL'd by the original photographer. Gwimpey 23:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I've created List of Norwegian peaks over 2000 meters, which makes a cutoff for topographical prominence of 50 meters, bringing the total to 186 out of 300 that have topographical prominence more than 10 meters. Please let me know what you think - also note that I included the coordinates for the peaks, so that people can take a look in satellite images. I also included "secondary factor," which is a measure of the horizontal distance between peaks. --Leifern 22:52, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The article Miravalles has a WP Mountains infobox, but for some reason I can't fathom the Last erupted part doesn't redirect to Volcano as do the vast majority since that article was deleted last month. Anyone can work out why it is broken and fix it? I could probably manually change it, but it's probably better in the long run that whatever made it miss out being automatically changed or whatever was fixed correctly.

message: With no objection in the discussion above, I've copied the code from User:Locke Cole/Template:Infobox Mountain into Template:Infobox Mountain (I've also copied the examples to Template talk:Infobox Mountain so you can see how it works). I'll be updating links to old templates to refer to the new (single) template. If you have any suggestions for documentation that should be updated, please let me know. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 22:36, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I copied your infobox, and started filling in the information, and I'm having trouble getting it to work.  Would someone please help me figure it out?  Thanks. --ONUnicorn 19:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone helped me already.  I was having problems with the coordinates box, I had the coordiantes for it, but I didn't have the seconds, and {}{} kept appearing after the coordiantes and wouldn't go away.  As for the photo, I'm planning on taking a hike sometime next weekend and taking a picture, so there will be one.  Thanks!  ONUnicorn 16:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I've been on Wikibreak for quite a while, and I just noticed that the spacing in the coor dms template looks quite strange. Does it bother anyone else? The coor dms template is protected, so I can't change it. hike395 23:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks okay to me (umm, at least in FF on windoze - there's a FF bug on the Mac which has always caused the coordinates to have extra spacing). Is it still happening? RedWolf 23:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
