Using an infobox
10-Sep-2007: I have added an infobox, with a locator map, by using "
Template:Geobox_Settlement" as a commonplace (but massive-file) infobox. (Even larger is newer "
Template:Geobox" which has grown to 107kb(!) or 3x larger). Those insanely huge infoboxes are commonly used; however, changing to a Denmark-specific infobox, such as showing a small Denmark-flag icon, would be OK. The "jury is still out" on whether "
Template:Geobox" should be a standard infobox for places, since it processes "300" parameters about rivers (everything including the "kitchen sink"). Such gargantuan infoboxes warn of the day when "every" WP article will process a megabyte of hundreds of nested formatting templates.
In fact that day might be here for infoboxes: the newer "
Template:Geobox" processes many sub-templates which might total nearly a megabyte of wiki-code. With growing beauracracies, beware the problems of "
form over substance" and "
creeping featurism" that can grow where management allows them. -
