After creating this article as a copy/paste I discovered the text of the source article had no information at all about the lighthouse and then, for reasons I investigated for over an hour, that the infobox was unusable (invalid map). Hence nothing at all remains from the source article. Thincat (talk) 07:25, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- I have seen this issue with the map previously. I am not sure what causes it but it normally fixes itself within a short period. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- @MSGJ: I can't tell you exactly what happened but the map appeared somewhat to one side of its bounding box leaving a white area. The location of the lighthouse was not in the part of the map displayed. When I dragged the map so the location was visible, no marker appeared. The infobox was an exact copy/paste of what was in Turnberry Castle including the qid parameter. All this was in the newly created User:Thincat/sandbox. I experimented with so many ideas (previewing without saving) I have no idea what I tried. I had a year or so back created Girdle Ness Lighthouse (where I don't recall any difficulties) so I also looked there for clues. My eventual theory was that the problem might be that I was operating in user space but after moving to main I didn`t try the infobox again. Thincat (talk) 14:30, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- I have previously commented on the issue at Template talk:Infobox mapframe#Just a pale blue panel displayed intermittently? but there doesn't seem to be much interest in fixing it, and it always sorts itself out in a few hours. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:56, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Title
editWould you mind if I moved this to Turnberry Lighthouse (with a capital L)? I have no particular preference but it would keep it consistent with all the other lighthouses in Scotland. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:03, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
