• Template:Cmt → Template:Mountain summit
• Module:Cmt → Module:Mountain summit

– Current name is far too vague {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 20:38, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

• Support - Wow. Cmt for me is always a short for "comment", I'd never guess this had anything to do with a mountain topic. --Gonnym (talk) 14:11, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
• This should be renamed, but there's also Template:Imt; either could be "Mountain summit". According to the documentation, Cmt is for a table cell, and Imt is for an inline link. Peter James (talk) 18:58, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

  Peter makes an excellent point. "Cmt" is an abbreviation for "Cell MounTain". I suggest:

  • Template:Cmt → Template:Mountain table cell
  • Module:Cmt → Module:Mountain table cell

  That name makes sense to me. * Pppery * _{fades away} 03:58, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

• Support obviously, per Gonnym. After the move I suggest replacing {{cmt}} with a warning or disambiguation for a transitional period (to let people get used to the new situation), before retargeting the redirect to {{comment}}. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:40, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

There are only 89 articles that transclude this template -- I'm happy to run WP:AWB to replace usage after a move, then we can change the redirect per King of Hearts. —hike395 (talk) 14:27, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

• Comment: Gonnym and King of Hearts, what do you think to Hike395's alternative proposal which Pppery has endorsed? Just wondering if we can get this done without need for a relist as there's clearly consensus that the current titles are inadequate. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 10:32, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Seems fine to me, I support it. --Gonnym (talk) 10:57, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
  • OK with me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 12:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

reference management

This module seems to do very poor management of the references it generates. I'm particularly concerned with the List of Ultras of North America article, which has about a dozen duplicate reference definitions due to the repeated use of this template for the same peaks in the same articles. The documentation doesn't seem to give advice about when each parameter should be used, and doesn't note that some parameters cause the generation of named notes or references. Further, it looks like most references generated are actually notes and not references -- so they're jumbled in with any article's actual citations when notes should be separate. -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

The problem of duplicate references and notes could be easily resolved by expanding the nor=yes parameter to suppress all references and notes. Yours aye,  Buaidh  talk contribs 20:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Elevation adjustment in meters

This template no longer prints the elevation adjustment in meters, only feet. Please fix. Yours aye,  Buaidh  talk contribs 20:15, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguating

Ok, I give up. How do you disambiguate a link, e.g. Garfield Mountain to Garfield Mountain (Montana) on List of mountain peaks of Montana, without making a mess out of the either the table cell or the references? Nick Number (talk) 02:08, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

{{Mountain table cell|Garfield Mountain (Montana)|name=Garfield Mountain}}

produces

Garfield Mountain
