Edit request on 11 May 2012 (Rail Transport/Barbados)

Suggestion: On the Rail Transport in North America template, someone may want to wikilink Barbados to Transport_in_Barbados#Railway. Textorus (talk) 02:50, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what the "Rail Transport in North America template" is, but it doesn't appear to be this template. {{Transport in North America}}, the closest match I found, does not have a railway-specific section. Please clarify the request. Thanks. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:24, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Edit Request - United States

There is actually an article that encompasses Christmas tree production in the United States, it should probably be titled that but it is titled Christmas tree cultivation in the United States. It should be added to the template. I doubt a lot of these places produce too many Christmas trees. IvoShandor (talk) 08:40, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

This request has to do with the "Christmas tree production in North America" Template. IvoShandor (talk) 08:42, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Nevermind about this. I am building a new, more appropriate article, that will automatically link. IvoShandor (talk) 13:06, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Had this still been "open", I would have pointed out that the way to fix it would have been to create a redirect from Christmas tree production in the United States to Christmas tree cultivation in the United States. Do consider whether it would be better to expand the existing article (and create the redirect) or have separate articles for production and cultivation; I personally am unsure on that issue.

I think I am going to merge what content I can to the production article and drop anything else in the main Christmas tree cultivation article. I didn't actually create the U.S. cultivation article, but i think it's my fault originally for created a poorly framed article on a related topic in the past.

Edit request 17 July 2013

There is a version in the sandbox that will update the "state" parameter to match that in the directions at Template:Navbox#Setup parameters. Please update this navbox, thanks. --Funandtrvl (talk) 20:23, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Please replace the line

with

|group2 = {{#if:{{{countries_only|}}} | |{{longitem|Dependencies and<br/>other territories}}}}

There is no article named "Cabinet of Greenland". The proper article to replace said name is "Naalakkersuisut" Kristoffer "Wiki" Winkler (talk) 13:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Where do you see Cabinet of Greenland and where do you want it replaced with Naalakkersuisut? Please remember this continent-topic template is transcluded on multiple navigational templates. If there is a technical problem with a specific transclusion (e.g., {{Topic of North America}}), it cannot be corrected here. See the template's documentation for help with fixing a specific transclusion. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 13:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

A simple solution for problems like this is creating a redirect from Cabinet of Greenland to Naalakkersuisut, which I've just done. As T13 says, there's nothing that can be done at this template page. SiBr₄ (talk) 14:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

This template is supposed to be about ski resorts, but instead it has a bunch of countries and territories with red links. It needs some fixes but is currently protected. I would request that either (i) it be fixed or (ii) it be unprotected so that the Wikipedia community can start to fix it. As it stands it looks screwy and gives Wikipedia a amateurish look. See its use here (bottom of page): List of ski areas and resorts in the United States

@Mdukas: Not done: Please see the "Attention" box at the top of this page. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:42, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

This template is not supposed to be about ski resorts specifically; it is a general template that can be used in articles on many different topics. For the linked article, where pages for only two of the navbox's entries exist, I would suggest just removing the template, moving any non-red links to the "See also" section. SiBr₄ (talk) 17:49, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have done as you suggested and removed the template but added back the single non-red link to the See Also section. Issue resolved, thanks for the guidance. Mdukas (talk) 23:51, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
