Same? edit
@Antony-22: Sorry, but I'm struggling to read the Dispatch articles again because of limited access. Might you be able to confirm that the Discovery Bridge is a replacement of the Broad Street Bridge, which is still commonly referred to as the Broad Street Bridge? I want to make sure the connections between this article and Commons are appropriate. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:14, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Another Believer: Yes, that's what the cited article says. I'm not too familiar with the history of these bridges, I was just in town for WikiConference North America this past weekend. WP:COMMONNAME implies that the article should retain the Broad Street Bridge name under these circumstances. User:SuperHamster might know more. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 18:38, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Antony-22: No problem, just figured I'd ask since I saw you uploaded photographs to Commons. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:46, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
@Sixflashphoto: Pinging you as well, in case you're familiar. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:35, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
Map of Columbus? edit
Can the map of Ohio be replaced with one of Columbus?
@Ɱ and Tagishsimon: Curious if either of you may be aware of a local map, or have the ability to create one? I think there are many articles that could be improved by a map of Columbus -- Category:Outdoor sculptures in Columbus, Ohio comes to mind. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:39, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Another Believer: Template:Maplink is way, way better than these sort of pushpin maps, really makes that sort of work unnecessary. If infobox bridge or artwork don't support maplink yet let's please add it, or could embed another infobox into these articles as a temporary workaround. ɱ (talk) 17:49, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ɱ, Thanks. I like when I see Maplink used, but I have no idea how Maplink works, unfortunately. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:57, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll take a look. Usually you can just copy existing formatting, like I usually copy it from Rockwood Hall, then you just have to change a few small details. Some templates will even automatically add it if there are Wikidata coords, so all you have to do is remove the pushpin map. ɱ (talk) 18:03, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- I did it for all the bridges. Infobox artwork is apparently too outdated to have the option for maplink... It's also protected, so even if I knew how to add code in for it, I wouldn't be able to. ɱ (talk) 18:21, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ɱ, Thanks for your help here. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:49, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Evad37: this conversation is a good indicator that {{infobox artwork}} needs mapframe maps. Right now all of Category:Outdoor sculptures in Columbus, Ohio uses pushpin maps, which I would like to change out (they really only pinpoint Columbus).
- @Another Believer: hopefully this will be changed, as Evad37 and I now have a list of infoboxes needing mapframe maps, which will all be fixed, hopefully. ɱ (talk) 22:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
