I'm working on the article for Camara (Charity) and I used this infobox on it. Many charities around the world would have a certain tax status, and with that, a charity number. This infobox should include something for that Ebelular (talk) 13:13, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It might not be clear, but the example on the documentation page uses the "type" parameter for this information. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added a "tax_id" parameter. I am not sure if this is vague enough for international use. Cmcnicoll (talk) 08:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Founder" in the code displays as the plural "founders" when used. Can this be repaired, or a workaround be used? Opakapaka (talk) 03:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The logo/image parameter doesn't seem to work. serioushat 04:37, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's not working. I just check Freewheelers EVS and the infobox has a logo. --Biker Biker (talk) 13:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The slogan parameter doesn't seem to do anything. Or am I missing something? upstateNYer 19:44, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The template looks OK to my (not hugely practiced) eye. It translates as "if there is no parameter set for any of non-profit_slogan, Non-profit_slogan, organization_motto, or motto, then omit the line, otherwise add it with the label 'Motto'." If any of those are given as parameters (e.g. "non-profit_slogan = Our slogan") then it should show up. I just tested it on an NPO page and all four parameter names worked for me. Can you point to your Wikipedia page where it isn't working?

| label23 = Motto

| data23 = {{{motto|{{{organization_motto|{{{Non-profit_slogan|{{{non-profit_slogan|}}}}}}}}}}}}

As per Wikipedia:Template_sandbox_and_test_cases I created these because I was interested in the org-name-above-infobox (using "title") vs org-name-within-infobox (using "above") issue. Looking at the template's history, I see that...

08:25, 14 January 2010 Cmcnicoll (talk | contribs) (1,776 bytes) (changed title to above)

which matches the Template:Infobox_organization style, but then...

13:39, 3 April 2010 Thumperward (talk | contribs) (1,844 bytes) (matching the {{infobox company}} style,
 which also uses the more semantically valid caption element for the title)

changed it back. I set the sandbox to use the Template:Infobox_company style, "title within the box," so you can see the difference at the testcases page.

I may try to create a version of Template:Infobox_non-profit that gives editors the option to use either (as per the Manual of Style (infoboxes)), but that makes using the template a little more complex, and also breaks the basic idea that templates give a consistent look, at least format-wise. As it says in Template:Infobox/doc, though, "There are two different ways to put a title on an infobox. One contains the title inside the infobox's border, the other puts it on top as a caption. You can use both of them together if you like, or just one or the other, or even neither (though this is not recommended)."

Hmmm. --MouseRancher (talk) 21:56, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added a coordinates parameter for geotagging the infobox, as found in other infoboxes. I modified the documentation to include it. A description of how to use it was already in there (oddly). -- MouseRancher (talk) 23:08, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A significant number of charities tend to run helplines and advice lines. Wondered if there could perhaps be an option for adding such a phone number in the infobox?--Shakehandsman (talk) 01:19, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would fall under WP:NOTDIR, specifically, point 3. Phone numbers aren't really encyclopedic material. TNXMan 02:15, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
