Template talk:Infobox airport

Base param

Base is listed as a param in the doc, but it doesn’t work. This would be a good param to have for airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that don’t have hubs but do have operating bases. RickyCourtney (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

That parameter documentation was added in error. I can't find a record of this parameter ever existing in the template. Do you have a source describing the "base" for a few airlines? How many articles would use this parameter? – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

@Jonesey95 A good example would be Form 10-K for JetBlue which lists its bases on page 24, or the Form 10-K for Allegiant, which lists its bases on page 29. This information can also be matched up to the similar paramter in Template:Infobox airline. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 00:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Please add:

| dataXX = {{{operating_base|}}}

 Not done for now: Have you discussed with the relevant WikiProject(s)? Izno (talk) 18:01, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. Adding a discussion topic for comment on the WikiProject Airports talk page. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 21:13, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Editors on the WikiProject Airports talk page were generally supportive of the change. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 22:17, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

@RickyCourtney Could you make the proposed changes to Template:Infobox airport/sandbox? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:28, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Does this one I did earlier work?

Just a question. How do we decide whether to refer to it as a focus city or an operating base? For example, JetBlue refers to them as focus cities in its 2021 Form 10-K. Also, for the airline's description of New York as one of its focus cities, it includes all New York–area airports, not just JFK. (Does JetBlue have a separate crew/maintenance base at Newark?) What determines whether we leave it as a focus city or call it an operating base for that airline? --Precision123 (talk) 17:54, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Following the recent addition to the infobox, please add operating_base to the check for unsupported params module call in the final line of the template. Implemented in the sandbox and will remove correctly-functioning instances of the template from Category:Pages using infobox airport with unknown parameters.

Mapframe arguments

Hi, please change this code:

| data35     = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|mapframe-marker=airport}}

to this code:

| data35     = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|mapframe-marker=airport|mapframe-wikidata = yes|onByDefault=yes}}

to show the boder of airport on all articles. See e.g., Changi Airport that the border of airport is not shown. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 15:09, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

See this sandbox that works properly for Changi Airport. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 15:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
