Template talk:Infobox cave

Need more measurements

It seems pretty daft that this template has no parameters for the (max.) width and height (internal) of a cave, since this information is obviously of high interest and often readily available. I'm not sure many people care about a cave that's 2 miles long but too small to get into for most people. Most of the notable caves are notable for massive chambers.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  13:13, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

In most cases the "length" given is based on what has been surveyed by cavers, and includes only that portion that a human can fit down. 86.24.39.42 (talk) 18:35, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Should add an attribute to have built in period?

Pushpin map cleanup

As part of a larger refactor of Module:Location map, I will be refactoring the way that this Infobox calls the location map code. The only noticeable change for most will be that the parameter names related to the pushpin maps will now all start with |pushpin_...=. This is part of a larger effort to make things consistent across Infoboxes. When this is done, ALL infoboxes using pushpin maps will use the same parameters. For more information about this, please see this post. As part of this cleanup, I am also going to resolving any conflicting parameters that I can find and cleaning up parameter names that fail to conform to MOS:INFOBOXNAME. Note that this follows a long list of similar clean ups that I have done on countless other Infoboxes. The parameters I plan to replace are the following:

Deprecate	Replace with
|child=	|embed=
|alt_name=	|other_name=
|photo=	|image=
|photo_width=	|image_size=
|photo_alt=	|alt=

|show cave length=	|show_cave_length=
|survey electronic format=	|survey_format=

Please chime in below with any questions, comments or concerns about this cleanup. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 21:12, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
