message: Should there be an attractions section? Maybe a spot for large parks and stuff like the mall of america. -Ravedave 23:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's worth considering. Including that may push the template towards become more cluttered, but it seems like a noteworthy topic. We might have to come up with some kind of criteria for what attractions to include, though.--Daveswagon 04:37, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: U.S. state templates

message: Does anyone think it would be a good idea to replace the "Rivers" link in the template with one for "Lakes"? The state is noteable for its lakes, not its rivers. I suppose we could have both, but I'd rather keep the template clean.--Daveswagon 04:41, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Replace "Rivers" with "Lakes"?

message: There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding standardization of state templates (primarily regarding layout and styling) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates. An effort was made earlier this year to standardize Canadian province templates (which mostly succeeded). Lovelac7 and I have already begun standardizing all state templates. If you have any concerns, they should be directed toward the discussion page for state template standardization. Thanks! — Webdinger BLAH | SZ 22:51, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Standardization of state templates 

message: This is minor, but I think consistency is desirable for an encyclopedia. Saint is spelled out for 2 names, but not for the other 6 names with Saint in them. The articles for all the places, except Saint Paul, abbreviate the name as St. in the actual title. Here is how they're currently spelled in the template:
* Saint Paul
* Saint Cloud
* North St. Paul
* St. Louis Park
* St. Peter
* South St. Paul
* West St. Paul
* St. Louis county
I propose we just abbreviate to St. in all the names. Nathanm mn 18:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed Saint Cloud to St. Cloud because I noticed that city ordinances use the abbreviation. P.Haney 03:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  St. vs. Saint 

message: Someone recently added the "view", "discuss", and "edit" navigation capability.  I think that will severely increase the amount of vandalism and undesirable editing the template receives, since it will be much easier for novices to find it.  I propose reverting that addition.  Anyone agree or disagree?--Appraiser 12:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *I reverted the edit because it broke the link to Saint Paul (capital). I would like to see Template US state navigation box have a hide option. What do you think?-Susanlesch 16:41, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Are you talking about modifying Template:Infobox U.S. state?--Appraiser 17:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: *Hi. No, Template:Minnesota uses Template:US state navigation box. (Template:Infobox U.S. state is the Infobox at the top of the page not the navigation box at the bottom.) But yes there was related discussion of omitting show/hide. So, what do you think about adding show/hide? Minnesota's box is quite a bit longer than some other states'. -Susanlesch 19:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *I use good-sized monitors, so probably would never hide it myself, but if other people have a reason to do so, that would be fine.  I see that the Template:US state navigation box now has a Tnavbar-header in it, so I suppose I need to take my objection there.  I still think we're likely to get many more undesirable edits to the template with the Tnavbar-header on it.--Appraiser 19:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *At the discussion Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates#Straw Polls, it was agreed not to use the Show/Hide form for these boxes, but you're welcome to continue that discussion on that talk page.  --CapitalR 23:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: *I'm not too worried about people using the view/discuss/edit tag for vandalism at this point.  I say we see how it goes for now instead of pre-emptively removing those options.  --CapitalR 23:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This still has absolutely nothing with being a region of Minnesota. You don't hear anyone say "I'm from the great river road region" because it doesn't exist. -Ravedave 05:22, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia cannot be used as a reference. You can't provide a reference that this is a region, so logically it should be removed from the other states as well. -Ravedave 16:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Does the "regions" section of the template mean 'political regions', 'geographical regions' or 'cultural regions' or all of the above? -Ravedave (talk) 15:21, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Here's my proposal:
We have a new section entitled "Large townships (Population over 5,000)". This won't include many townships, and White Bear Township can also be added.

thread_title: White Bear Township

message: With , the 'Smaller cities pop. over 10,000' section was accidentally hidden. After two years, no attempt has been made to restore the list, so it seems like it isn't really missed. Including all cities over 10,000 makes the box pretty large, anyway. So I combined the largest cities into a single list, with a threshold of 25,000, hopefully a nice average. I think 36 cities is a good number to list at once. Kennethaw88 • talk 23:33, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally, you should ask at the talk page before going through with the edit, not the reverse. I don't disagree with you, I just reverted on instinct because I couldn't figure out what discussion you were talking about. You can go ahead and revert again, but I'd like there to be a note that states the threshold is 25K. TCN7JM 23:37, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
