Template-protected edit request on 11 October 2025

[edit]

I want to request a new parameter for having a multiple name for religious structures, for example Gulou South Street Mosque, sometime also called as Drum Tower Mosque.

another example Lhasa Great Mosque also called as Hebalin Mosque.

Edit request 13 October 2025

[edit]

Description of suggested change: @Jonesey95: Consider reverting this rev, which overrides color of religious affiliation colors. Shinto is currently rendered as background-color: #A12F25; color: #FFF;;color:inherit; which is like this.

Thanks for the ping. As I said in my edit summary, "this generally works but may cause problems". I modified a few hundred infobox template pages, and there were maybe three or four that didn't quite work right. It looks like this was one of them. I have reverted pending a more refined fix; this is not an urgent issue. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:12, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request - Catholic Churches

[edit]

For Catholic-related articles, please revise [[Ecclesiastical district|District]] to [[Ecclesiastical district|Diocese]].

The term "district" is not used in Catholicism

Existing Code:

| label4 = {{#switch:{{Infobox religious building/color|{{{religious_affiliation}}}}}
|#FFCC99 = [[Ecclesiastical district|District]]
|District}}
| class4 = label
|  data4 = {{{district|}}}

Proposed Code:

| label4 = {{#switch:{{Infobox religious building/color|{{{religious_affiliation}}}}}
|#FFCC99 = [[Ecclesiastical district|Diocese]]
|District}}
| class4 = label
|  data4 = {{{district|}}}

Thank you. –Zfish118⋉talk 15:34, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't we just link to Diocese? – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:35, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be ok with it pointing to "diocese", though I would prefer a Roman Catholic-specific article. "Ecclesiastical district" redirects to "Particular church", which I was generally ok with as a target article as well. –Zfish118⋉talk 16:54, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The parameter itself is called |district=. The documentation says district — the district the building belongs to (i.e. the United Methodist Church uses districts for organizational purposes). I do not think there is a way to limit the link to working a certain way for Roman Catholic churches. The article for "ecclesiastical district" used to redirect to parish, which may also be an appropriate target. Analysis of how this parameter is actually used appears to be needed. This needs more thought, not just a different link. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:03, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The way it is currently set up, the wikilink to "District" only appears for Roman Catholic articles, using a "#switch" statement; changing wikilink to "Diocese", "Diocese" or another appropriate target article would have the desired effect. "Parish" would be an inappropriate target, because it used for the name of the dioceses or archdiocese that the subject church belongs to. –Zfish118⋉talk 18:49, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I missed that bit, with that unusual deployment of a switch statement. You can see it in action at Sistine Chapel and see that the "District" label is still used at Kul Sharif Mosque.  Done. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:13, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
