how exactly image_plan is supposed to work to get infobox mapframe?
editThe documentation is unclear, how does one activate a standard mapframe on a location that doesn't have a specific image file? --Joy (talk) 14:21, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Remove
|image_plan=from the infobox in the article. You can test this at Aalen. Remove|image_plan=and its value without saving the article, and click Preview. You will see a mapframe map if you click "[show]". – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)- Oh, it's an either-or situation, I see now, thanks. Can we make it possible to see both? Sometimes the prepared map is nice, but sometimes the maplink zoom out function is also nice to better see context. --Joy (talk) 19:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- I expect that it is possible, but I am not willing to try to figure out the code to make it work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, the syntax is horrendous, looks like nobody made an effort to use better indentation. --Joy (talk) 10:24, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Category:Pages using infobox settlement with bad settlement type
editHi everyone, the way this infobox is formatted is giving the Category:Pages using infobox settlement with bad settlement type error on some pages (see, for example, Hellersdorf), and I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks so much! HeyElliott (talk) 18:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm puzzled by this error, I can't see why Hellersdorf would be categorized as using a bad settlement type, when Pillnitz, which uses the same parameters (type = Quarter, City = Dresden), isn't. Markussep Talk 12:48, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- I did some troubleshooting, and I found that if I changed
|state=to blank, or anything aside from "Berlin", the error category went away. I don't know if that is a problem with the article or with the settlement short description module. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:47, 15 January 2024 (UTC)- That makes sense, then it should be the same problem for places in Hamburg, where state and city are also the same. And it is, see e.g. Eidelstedt. Markussep Talk 21:14, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Mapframe expand default
editI think that in line with MOS:DONTHIDE, the inital state of mapframe should be expanded (add |expanded=true to {{hidden}}. Thoughts? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:44, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
