Template talk:Infobox mountain pass

message: I have been adding bits to Tour de France pages, and was surprised how few articles there are on the mountain passes, especially in the Pyrenees. I'll quite happily start creating articles about some of the climbs to be used in this year's tour, but before I do so can I briefly comment on the Template:Infobox Mountain Pass that's currently in use. If you compare the template on Col d'Aubisque with its French equivalent, I hope you'll agree that the French one is far more informative. Would there be any objection to me creating an improved template based on the French one? Daemonic Kangaroo 12:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's time we improve this template and as you said in WikiProject Cycling the french one  looks fine. It would be better if some member of Wikiproject Mountains could give another view on the matter before someone changes the template.Drunt 13:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless someone has a better idea I think we should add the same information that french template currently displays:
 {{
 | nom= 
 | image= 
 | légende= 
 | altitude= 
 | massif= 
 | latitude= 
 | longitude= 
 | pays1= 
 | pays2= 
 | vallée1= 
 | vallée2= 
 | loc1= 
 | loc2= 
 | ville1= 
 | ville2= 
 | déclivité_moy1= 
 | déclivité_moy2= 
 | déclivité_max1= 
 | déclivité_max2= 
 | kilométrage1= 
 | kilométrage2= 
 | accès1= 
 | accès2= 
 | fermeture_hivernale= 
 | carte= 
 }}
lalitude/longitude could be just coordinates. Maybe adding percentages is too technically? Should this template also be used for roads up to ski stations(Alpe d'Huez) or other one-road climbs(Angliru)?Drunt (talk) 20:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pyreneean mountain passes 

message: In fixing a few pass articles just now, I note that national flags have been used to decorate the infoboxes.  There doesn't seem to be any purpose to their presence but decoration, and I'm of a mind to take them out; unless there's already been a discussion justifying their presence?

thread_title: Use of national flags?

message: The problem I see with  passing geocoordinates to  is that  transcludes  with type:mountain hardcoded, whereas  ought to have type:pass.
There are a couple ways to fix this.  One would be to break free of .  Another would be to add an optional coord_type= parameter to .  Any opinions on how to proceed? --Stepheng3 (talk) 03:50, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I like using , because the two infoboxes share a lot of code and formatting. I like your suggestion about an optional coord_type: I am happy to implement it. —hike395 (talk) 04:51, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  --- I checked the Mountain testcases and Wolf Creek Pass --- the coordinates seem to be the correct type. Let me know if you see any problems. —hike395 (talk) 05:06, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi Hike395. The template is only semi-protected so I fixed it myself. I'm sorry for the error and thanks for picking up on it. –droll [chat] 15:45, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Fix typo

message: Recent changes to this template, or perhaps to templates used within it, appear to be broken. For example, see Grimsel Pass or Furka Pass. The coordinates are followed by an unexpected string like this (for the Furka pass):

I get the same effect on both Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Exploder. My knowledge of complex template syntax isn't up to resolving this. Can somebody take a look at it. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 11:41, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
