Template-protected edit request on 30 July 2024

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

I request that a new parameter be added for flag (and its formatting) as in {{Infobox state}}, this specific is for the page for Leeward Islands (Society Islands). Juwan (talk) 17:45, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done It seems to me like either your talking about the island geographically, in which case you don't need the flag, or you're talking about it as a political entity, in which case you should use a different infobox. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:47, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add field for mean elevation

I feel as though this field could be useful. For exapmple East Island (Hawaii) has no public info for highest elevation, only the mean. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 12:19, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bug in length_km parameter

On Jaco Island, the length in the infobox is displayed as "4,2 km (26.1 mi)". "length_km=4,2" is in the markup. Of course, the automatic conversion should read "2.61 mi". (No comment on the extra significant digit.) 128.91.40.237 (talk) 14:53, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is invalid input. I have fixed it and created a test case at Template:Infobox islands/length/testcases if anyone wants to fix the template itself. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:17, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I expect Europeans might do this a lot, though. ~2025-31453-37 (talk) 17:07, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
