Template talk:Infobox airport

message: There are about 300 articles where the runway surface has been specified as "grass". The trouble is, grass is a redirect to the plant family Poaceae, and that's clearly not the intended meaning here. The closest things that I can see are turf/sod and lawn. Which one is the better target article? – Uanfala (talk) 22:03, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The better solution is to unlink grass, asphalt, and concrete used in airport articles per MOS:OL. MB 23:16, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That's an option as well. And another one is to go the MOS:SPECIFICLINK route and pipe via something like Grass runway, which can be created as a redirect to Runway#Pavement surface (though the only grass-related content there at the moment is a brief mention with an example pictured). – Uanfala (talk) 00:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, in prose. But in the airport info box, the usage is Runway: and saying Runway: Grass runway is awkward/wordy and just piping grass is an Easter egg link... MB 02:29, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

text: There's a similar thread at Template talk:Infobox venue#Grass as a surface in sports venues. – Uanfala (talk) 13:46, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

text: A link to a general article on grass is not in any way helpful. It's a common English word, everyone knows what grass is. That being said, a link to an article on grass runways, how they're maintained and what's different than just a field, I'd support a link to. But just to grass or anything that's not specifically talking about runways? Nope. Canterbury Tail talk 14:57, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Such a specific article doesn't exist (yet?), though there's the redirect Grass airstrip (which I created recently), which points to  an article section with a brief mention of grass runways. – Uanfala (talk) 15:45, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The meaning of grass 

message: Base is listed as a param in the doc, but it doesn’t work. This would be a good param to have for airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that don’t have hubs but do have operating bases. RickyCourtney (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That parameter documentation was added in error. I can't find a record of this parameter ever existing in the template. Do you have a source describing the "base" for a few airlines? How many articles would use this parameter? – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Jonesey95 A good example would be Form 10-K for JetBlue which lists its bases on page 24, or the Form 10-K for Allegiant, which lists its bases on page 29. This information can also be matched up to the similar paramter in Template:Infobox airline. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 00:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Following the recent addition to the infobox, please add operating_base to the check for unsupported params module call in the final line of the template.  Implemented in the sandbox and will remove correctly-functioning instances of the template from :Category:Pages using infobox airport with unknown parameters.
