The line for the population_rank field, which currently reads:
<th> '''• Rank'''</th>
needs to be changed so that it reads
<td> '''• Rank'''</td>
It is being formatted as a table header rather than a table cell, which makes it look different from all the other fields in the template. I have tested this in the Template:Infobox settlement/sandbox (this edit), with before and after example at User:Amakuru/Sandbox, and this seems to solve the problem.

As GeoTLDs for cities are now being approved (e.g. .london, .nyc), could an Internet TLD field be added to the template? I have already added the field to the sandbox copy, and it renders fine. --RaviC (talk) 23:31, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
It's standard practice on this wiki to put a 1px grey border on images that have a solid color at the edges that is really close to the background color. It's considered aesthetically more pleasing.
For cases when the map winds up having a lot of land at the corners, it would be good if we could have a border. Putting a border directly on the image is against the rules, so we'd need to do it in the template.

Can I suggest that, when only area_total_X is specified and no other area_X parameters are given (excluding perhaps area_note/area_footnote/area_rank), the area be shown next to the word "Area" instead of the redundant "• Total" item? Or alternatively, if it is important to preserve the notion of "total", replace the "Area" header with "Total area"? See, for example, Neuquén Province.
Now I think about it, perhaps this request is too hard without Lua. But I still think it should be done somehow. — This, that and the other (talk) 07:44, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I have temporarily reverted the conversion to {{infobox}}. It apparently introduced a bug that prevented the second map image specified in the "image_map1" parameter to display properly, and just ended up displaying the wiki markup code for the image. Please fix. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 19:40, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
I don't know if this has to do with the recent conversion, but can someone take a look at Manila? The infobox stretches all the way to the left off screen, and all text became bolded.

The infobox {{Infobox Israel municipality}} has a bug where non-English names are displayed in a separate nested table. An example can be seen here. This was certainly caused by the latest edits to this template. Can anyone please help fix this? Thanks, Ynhockey (Talk) 10:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

This template uses em dashes around the emitted text for the parameter |settlement_type=. I suggest that in line with MOS:DASH these should be changed to en dashes. In detail: please change the two occurrences of em dash (—) to en dash (–). Furthermore, I don't think two non-breaking spaces are required on either cite side of that parameter. Therefore only one should be used. Once consensus for this change has been reached the template {{Edit protected}} should placed here. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:27, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
|settlement_type=
Okay, so there is no MOS requirement for these dashes. I searched through the archive and there does not seem to have been a prior discussion about these specific dashes. I agree there is a lot of visual weight caused by the dashes, a visual weight that is not needed because of the background. I do not see an added value in using the dashes at all and would suggest to remove them. I added a third example above for quick reference. I also made the change in the sandbox, so the testcases now list a wider range of examples. CRwikiCA talk 13:10, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I don't know if it has been discussed already, so sorry if I'm asking an old question. But it's been bugging me that when a value (normally a year) is assigned to area_footnotes, the result is e.g.:
Area(2006)
i.e. there is no space between the word Area and the opening parenthesis. Not the biggest problem ever, but it's quite annoying. Could it be fixed? :) 77.70.30.216 (talk) 04:46, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

The name of this template is Infobox settlement, but it is used for other articles as well and is also recommended in the lead of the documentation for use for country subdivisions that are not seen as settlements. Renaming this template to Infobox subdivision, or similar, would describe the infobox more accurately. The initial discussion to choose this name was based on including all uses in a catch-all name. Since this decision did not anticipate the use for different levels of government, the same arguments can be used to rename it again. The "it's not a settlement" argument is brought forward often in merging/substitution/deletion discussions about other subdivision templates. The major downside to renaming this infobox is obviously the amount of work that would go into implementing this change throughout the project. Let me know how you think about this.

I propose to add a parameter to add settlement signs to this infobox. By settlement signs, I mean signs on roads entering a settlement. This can be simple municipal signs or more elaborate welcome signs. There are a number of examples in Commons:Category:Settlement signs. To me, this would greatly reduce the need for fair use images in the image_seal, image_shield, and image_flag parameters. Also, in many short articles where a settlement sign in available, there's no good placement other than in the infobox.--GrapedApe (talk) 12:10, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
I think it would be useful in an almanac sense to add parameters for the settlement's agricultural hardiness zone. For instance, in Louisville, Kentucky it would be "6b, 7a". To make it useful internationally, have a parameter for the agricultural zone nomenclature ("USDA Plant Hardiness Zone" for the U.S.). As farming/gardening are key tasks for sustenance on the planet, I think it would be worthwhile to show these values. Thoughts? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 17:34, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I think it would be useful in the parameters that deal with leaders if there was a field for the riding that they represent.

It seems that auto density is only configures to give a total of 2 sig figs. I think it should auto calculate at least up the decimal point. If settlements have population and area so exact, up to the hundredth of a decimal place, the auto field should be a little more precise. Thricecube 00:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to request the decapitalization of the word "density" in the "population2 density" parameter since it's not a proper noun there. As Redrose64 suggested elsewhere, the specific line is | label70 = • {{{population_blank1_title|}}} Density. Brandmeistertalk 22:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

but it makes for a really wide Infobox. Is there another option that I may be missing?
