Description of suggested change: The "History" section of this template seems to sometimes appear twice - see Province of Catania and Template:Infobox former subdivision/testcases. Could someone please fix the template so it doesn't do this? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 04:48, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Done The duplicate (or alternate) History section appears to be present in a couple hundred pages. The parameters that create it do not appear to be documented. I suppressed it with an #if statement if none of the parameters are populated, and it worked on the testcases page and in a couple of pages that I checked. Please ping me with any error reports. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:38, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Populations and missing thousands separator
editDue to this edit, there are at least 233 articles without thousands separators. 89.166.104.253 (talk) 12:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Should be sorted now. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 12:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Date formatting issue
editThis (via parameters like |year_start=1741 |year_end=1867 |date_start=July 15 |date_end=October 18) is outputting dates in non-standard (not-MOS:DATE-permissible) format, as July 15 1741 and October 18 1867 – as seen at Russian colonization of North America.
By default, it should be doing 18 October 1867 (dmy being the more common format, site-wide). With some parameter switch like |date_format=mdy or |mdy=yes, it should output US-format dates as October 18, 1867. But October 18 1867 isn't a thing. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done, and added a
|dmy=param to match. Primefac (talk) 12:42, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: First, could someone fix the motto parameter so it appears above the anthem like in Template:Infobox country instead of in the government section? Second, could someone add a currency parameter? Also, the link to the anthem in the anthem parameter feels a bit unnecessary and could be removed. Thank you.

Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. I am not declining this suggestion, but there is no code change proposed here. This is a basic request for template improvement, not yet an edit request. It would be helpful if someone could change the sandbox, show how it works on the testcases page, and then reactivate this edit request template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:00, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
