Unknown parameter CEO edit

The template is displaying an error in page preview mode, stating

Warning: Page using Template:Infobox institute with unknown parameter "ceo" (this message is shown only in preview).

That is by design as this template does not support such a parameter. Based on your edit history, I assume you see this issue with the Esalen Institute article (otherwise I would have to search in Category:Pages using infobox institute with unknown parameters (57)). I resolved the issue by removing the unsupported parameter from the Esalen Institute article. 50.53.1.33 (talk) 12:36, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Parameters to be deprecated edit

Parameters for motto, mission and focus should be deprecated ASAP, as per {{Infobox organization}} where they have been removed per WP:MISSION. This is especially true for advocacy organisations, as their mission statements are often Orwellian - e.g. quack medical institutions that frame their work as health advocacy.

  • Support deprecation These seem to me to be an extension of an organisation's marketing material, and they don't give the reader a better understanding of the subject, so we don't need to be giving them a platform. GirthSummit (blether) 13:29, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Strongly support deprecation institutions, like people (after all, they are run by people) normally state their views to sound as attractive/enticing as possible, sometimes even to hide their real views. Political and advocacy organisations of all kinds are particularly prone to do this, although that's also true of a lot of organisations which is why it's deprecated in that infobox.

Map edit

Any way to add a map to this template? Liverpoolpics (talk) 11:52, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Chairwoman edit

Needs an enry for "chairwoman." In Linus Pauling Institute, Emily Ho is not a "chairman."
