There is a wrong wiki-link at this parameter. It leads to Lord mayor.
It should lead to Mayor because this is suitable for 95% of all cases. Lord mayor is only useful for commonwealth-cities. Bildersindtoll ( talk) 10:55, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
|leader_title=
. You didn't give an example. Perhaps the problem you saw is an article using the wrong value for |leader_title=
?

which causes the display of Lord Mayor which links to
Lord Mayor. If you take that line out, the display will be Mayor and will link to
Burgomaster. It looks like none of this is really documented.

Bildersindtoll, If you specify for the mayor title:
As to why Burgomaster instead of Mayor, probably because something thought Mayor is more general/worldwide while Burgomaster is more specific to Europe. If you think any of these links should be changed, I would suggest trying to get some more input to see if there is a consensus to make changes. I would ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany for comments here. MB 22:23, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
This request is Done. The default and "Mayor" link in
|Bürgermeistertitel=
should now point to
Mayor. Affected pages may require a purge to display properly. Ping me if there are any errors. –

Bürgermeistertitel= Oberbürgermeister
is in the infobox, which makes the title appear as "Lord Mayor". Here's the whole code for that switch statement:{{#switch: {{{Bürgermeistertitel}}} | Mayor | Bürgermeister | [[Bürgermeister]] | Bürgermeisterin | [[Bürgermeisterin]] | Ortsbürgermeister | Ortsbürgermeisterin = [[Mayor]] | Lord mayor | Lord Mayor | [[Lord Mayor]] | Oberbürgermeister | [[Oberbürgermeister]] | Oberbürgermeisterin | [[Oberbürgermeisterin]] = [[Lord mayor]] | Ortsvorsteher | [[Ortsvorsteher]] | Ortsvorsteherin | [[Ortsvorsteherin]] = Local representative | Samtgemeindebürgermeister = [[Bürgermeister|Samtgemeinde-<br />bürgermeister]] | Samtgemeindebürgermeisterin = [[Bürgermeister|Samtgemeinde-<br />bürgermeisterin]] | #default = {{#ifexist: {{{Bürgermeistertitel}}} | [[{{{Bürgermeistertitel}}}]] | {{#if: {{{Bürgermeistertitel|}}} | {{{Bürgermeistertitel}}} | [[Mayor]] }} }} }} {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if: {{{leader_term|}}} | {{nobold|({{{leader_term}}}) }}
|Bürgermeistertitel=
. After each group of values, there is an = sign and then the result that is shown when |Bürgermeistertitel=
matches anything in that group. So if you enter |Bürgermeistertitel=Ortsvorsteherin
, it will show "Local representative" for the title. –

Markussep:
This undiscussed change has changed the case where the |Bürgermeistertitel=
parameter is set to [[Bürgermeister]]
. Before today, that value linked to
Mayor, but now it links to
Burgomaster. Is that intentional? See
this test case for the difference. –

In Frankfurt we have 4 ruling parties. The template shows only 3 of them. Is there a way to handle that issue? -- Nasiwin ( talk) 11:43, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
The 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)
|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]". –

Hi 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)
|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. –

I think that in line with
MOS:DONTHIDE, the inital state of mapframe should be expanded (add |expanded=true
to {{
hidden}}. Thoughts? --
