Separated parameters for "antenna" and "spire" or add new parameter "pinnacle spire"
Can the height parameters between the "Antenna" and the "Spire" be separated ? according to CTBUH, where the antenna is the tip of the building while the spire is the height of the building architecture? or add new parameter "Pinnacle spire"? 2400:9800:201:A464:7516:BD12:E79B:2198 (talk) 03:00, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Disable Openstreetmaps
I can't figure out how to avoid it from displaying even if removing the coordinates. Traumnovelle (talk) 22:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Always link to an example page. Have you tried
|mapframe=no
as described in the documentation? – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- Antrim House, yes. Didn't publish but did preview and it didn't work. I presume it may be a Wikidata thing? Traumnovelle (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
|mapframe=no
works perfectly for me at that page. I replaced the mapframe map with a Wellington map. – Jonesey95 (talk) 11:24, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- Did it work before replacing it? Traumnovelle (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I first added
|mapframe=no
and clicked Preview. The mapframe map went away, showing no map at all. You are welcome to continue editing that page to make it look the way you want it to look; I just thought it would help to have some sort of map. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- I tried to do it on Leys Institute to save space but it still shows. Traumnovelle (talk) 00:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know what you were trying to do there, but I have restored the last working version. If you really don't want readers to see a helpful map so that they know where the building is, add
| mapframe=no
on a new line in the infobox. I suggest putting it directly under the|coordinates=
line. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)- Ah I thought it was a parameter of the coordinates template, thanks. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Change record height parameter to be more specific
The Record Height parameter should be more specific, i.e. if the tower was the tallest freestanding building then it should say that. For example, the CN Tower and Ostankino Tower pages both link to successors that do not link back to them because the aforementioned pages are freestanding buildings (see Talk:CN Tower#Tallest in the world?).

Can anyone tell why the map in this article is wildly off?

I'm baffled. At Xscape (building), the map shows a location that is about 100 miles north of reality. If I put the same infobox here (and in my sandbox), it is correct!!! If I edit the section (isolating it from its context in the article, I assume?), it is also wrong . If I remove the the coordinates from the other building in the article so that there is no risk of confusion, still wrong. If I deliberately change the coordinates to (say) 50.04137|N|, I get a location that is only(!) 25 miles west. What am I missing? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:36, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- (I should mention that I've just now set mapframe=off because it is better to have no map than one that is wildly off. If anyone wants to verify, just turn it back on: if you see Nottingham, you've got the (un)desired result.) --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

- @The Equalizer: TYVM. What was it? I'm intrigued to know why it only failed in that article but I couldn't reproduce it elsewhere. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:27, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Did you see the map pre-fix, (link here Map) two shapes for both Xscapes were displayed so the 'centre' of the view was a point exactly in-between. On OSM both have the same Wikidata number but no type parameter so why they have been uploaded, dunno. As the infobox is for MK, I removed the call for the shapes so it reverts to the MK coordinates instead. The article covers the brand so it ideally could cover both, to tidy it all up the mapframe could go back to displaying the two and the OSM entries get the correct flag.

- I had guessed that might be it, but when I removed the coordinates for the Yorkshire Xscape, it made no difference.
- Oh well, problem solved and I'm never likely to encounter it again, so I won't pursue it. Thanks again. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:54, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Mapframe expand button doesn't work
The mapframe expand button (top-right square in map) doesn't work. After logging out it works. Grimes2 (talk) 23:31, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- I see you have a few wiki scripts and stylesheets, check whether if any are having an impact. Also have you disabled javascript in your preferences. The Equalizer (talk) 21:25, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- That hint solved my problem. Thanks. Grimes2 (talk) 12:49, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
