Template-protected edit request on 12 February 2025 (2)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Second request, similar to first. Propose adding Treasure (South Korean designation) as a designation. It meets all the criteria. 1. Reasonable number of sites (2,325) Y 2. article about it on Wikipedia given, see also ext official website listing all the entries Y, 3. should be mostly relevant to buildings in South Korea Y

For color, I'll use the same color that other South Korean classifications use. These classifications do not overlap with each other so there shouldn't be an issue; i.e. the govt does not classify a single thing under multiple labels.

Change Template:Designation/colour by adding the following lines of text below |NATIONAL TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA:

|TREASURES OF SOUTH KOREA
|TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA                                    = #A8BDEC

Change Template:Designation/colour2 by adding the following lines of text below |NATIONAL TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA:

|TREASURES OF SOUTH KOREA

Change Template:Designation/text by adding the following lines of text below |NATIONAL TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA:

|TREASURES OF SOUTH KOREA
|TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA                                    = [[Treasure (South Korean designation)|Treasures of South Korea]]

Template-protected edit request on 9 May 2025: Proposal to use Template:Lang with certain designation names

This edit request to Template:Designation/text has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: Hello. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Non-English terms, I believe it would be appropriate to make use of Template:Lang with non-English designation titles, namely the national designations of France, the Netherlands, and Romania, and the provincial designation for Quebec.

Diff: Monument historique → Monument historique; Rijksmonument → Rijksmonument; Monument istoric → Monument istoric; Patrimoine culturel du Québec → Patrimoine culturel du Québec
