Is there a way to remove the pushpin map in Milwaukee while keeping the switchable map above it? Because that's switchable, it shows the same information to readers and greatly extends the infobox. Ed [talk] [OMT] 21:23, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
|pushpin_map=
parameter (and the two following parameters) in the infobox. You could get some pushback from other editors, though.

User:RAGentry has been adding oversized maps to hundreds of US city articles. My concern is that this makes the infobox unnecessarily wide (the default size is 250 px). At Berryville, Texas, for example, there are no photos in the infobox, so no need for an oversized map. The input of others would be appreciated. Magnolia677 ( talk) 15:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
In my defense, 250 is only a default and not prescribed, and there are plenty of articles which use 280 as the size of their infobox. 280 makes the maps easier to see and understand and ensures that the entire shape fits into the map. The idea of "oversized" is subjective, considering it is only a 30 pixel difference. Is it really that big of an issue? RAGentry (talk) (contributions) 16:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Greetings and felicitations. In the La Habra, California infobox there is a carriage return between the estimate and the estimated population note. This is consistent between (Mac) Firefox and Safari in desktop mode, though it does not appear in iOS Safari. I'm hoping that someone can find and fix the problem, please. — DocWatson42 ( talk) 05:36, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

I've encountered a strange error in the area fields and I can't think what's causing it.
In KM2, area total can be larger than area land. But once converted into sq mi, area land becomes larger than area total. You can see this in action at Borough of Halton.
I can only think it must be something hard coded in the conversion, perhaps a rounding error? It doesn't occur when using Template:Convert. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me will know what might be behind it please. Dgp4004 ( talk) 16:40, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
A few comments here:
{{convert|90|km2|mi2|abbr=on|sigfig=1}}
→ 90 km2 (30 sq mi). There's currently no way to specify significant figures to the template.{{convert|9000|km2|mi2|abbr=on}}
→ 9,000 km2 (3,500 sq mi). You may not consider this correct, however, since it only preserves 2 significant figures.— hike395 ( talk) 02:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
