The "established" Parameter is set by default to confederation date and only confederation date. This removes the ability to add any additional information relating to establishment history. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were established before confederation as colonies and joined confederation later on, and Newfoundland was a full dominion for a few decades before joining. Most of that type of information appears on pages for federal units outside of Canada, (example: The New South Wales page includes the date of establishment as a colony, date of achieving responsible government, and date of joining Australia). Considering the unique establishment history of each province, while they should obviously each include their confederation dates, there should be the possibility of using the "established" Parameter uniquely on each.

Should we maybe have a line after confederation date for showing what the province was previously? E.g., split from NWT; English colony; split from Province of Canada? — Arctic Gnome ( talk • contribs) 18:12, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

It might suffice in certain articles, but not for others. Having a parameter in a template doesn't force all pages to fill it, so your proposal for a given page is entirely possible. However, given the wide number of different "place" infobox templates and that they all have this same type of "other name" parameter underlines that these "place" templates require the parameter. And it's up to individual page communities to decide how or if to use it. trackratte ( talk) 16:50, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

parameter should be used for those four cases. —

Greetings and felicitations. The references for the fields "population_total" and "population_est" are preceded by a space, which violates MOS:CITEPUNCT. Example from Quebec:
Population (2021) • Total 8,501,833 [2] • Estimate (Q4 2022) 8,751,352 [3]
(This is the same type of bug as the one I posted in Template talk:Infobox drug#Template-protected edit request on 7 March 2023, so the same solution may apply, or at least help.) — DocWatson42 ( talk) 05:21, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello! How to make a undocumented parameter visible in the infobox? I would like to add an Ontario nickname.
