{{ Storm colour}} currently contains an informational box containing a notice not to use links on elements that use the storm color output as a background. I've began performing checks on each storm color, and have found that many of them have contrast issues with links, for example: cat5 and depression. The full list of problematic colors can be found in Module:Tropical cyclone categories § Full list of available values. Because of this, I'm proposing that links be removed from storm headers (primarily scale/agency links) and instead moved somewhere else (perhaps next to the interval note), however I'm unsure as to whether this will still be aesthetically pleasing or confusing to readers. A comparison has been provided below for good measure.

Chlod: Template:Infobox weather event/JMA/doc generates a Missing end tag lint error for italics in the markup
{{#invoke:Infobox weather event/scalebar|main|scale=JMA}}
I suspect the solution is to edit Module:Infobox weather event/scalebar and change
.. math.floor(minKmh) .. "–" .. math.floor(maxKmh) .. " km/h'', "
to
.. math.floor(minKmh) .. "–" .. math.floor(maxKmh) .. " km/h, "
because the italics are closed on the following line. Please figure this out. Anomalocaris ( talk) 20:08, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
How about you fix the tornado boxes so that you don't have to input knots when the damage is reported in miles per hour? That is highly annoying and opens up a source for errors. This is yet another instance of you "fixing" something that wasn't broken and was working just fine. But, I guess tinkering with everything is what you do best. United States Man ( talk) 05:14, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Is there any way to fix the repetition in the tornado infoboxes? The strength of the tornado is listed in the color bar, and then immediately below that it lists the maximum rating again. wxtrackercody ( talk · contributions) 01:19, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
It also seems that Infobox weather event/Winter storm doesn't have an option to set an exact RSI value (I had to remove it in when adding it here) Infinity ( talk - contributions) 00:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
The duration parameter /Tornado outbreak seems to have been removed (it was present in Infobox storm). I know that there is already a duration parameter in the header, but this is specifically for tornado outbreaks, like winter storms with tornado outbreaks. Infinity ( talk - contributions) 16:43, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
|duration=
parameter for it. A warning will be shown if this parameter is used in articles with "tornado outbreak" in the title.

I'm holding off on implementing this at a lower level (on the /meteorology level) while I decide how to make this compatible with automatic categories (which require that values must always be in knots). Chlod ( say hi!) 04:37, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Good job bro. I like how this was done for the metric system as well. Chess Eric 13:33, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Work on the /Current subbox and support for current data has been completed. See Template:Infobox weather event/doc § Current storms for specific details, and Template:Infobox weather event/doc § Article page active storm and Template:Infobox weather event/doc § Season page active storm for examples. {{ Infobox tropical cyclone current}} has been marked as deprecated accordingly.

Will {{ Infobox tropical cyclone small}} get merged into this template, or will it be remained as it is? Just a random Wikipedian( talk) 11:11, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Chlod If you have time, would you consider making a box for heat waves since it is summer rn? US heat scale is <80F = Warm, 80-89F = C4: Very Warm, 90-104F = C3: Hot, 105-129F = C2: Very Hot, ≥130F = C1: Extremely Hot. Noah Talk 01:41, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could assist me with the infobox on 2023 South Korea floods. Before, it used the {{ Infobox flood}} template; however, since it was deprecated, I wanted to switch to using this Infobox weather event template.
When I have just the Infobox weather event, it shows up in the preview, but when I commit my changes, it disappears and there is no infobox on the page at all. It seems to only exist if accompanied by another infobox. Right now, I have used an empty Infobox flood template underneath, but it looks bad. You can see some experimentation in the page history. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have something wrong in the source code. Thanks! ⇒ Lucie Person (talk| contribs) 22:46, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
I noticed the template displays a link to IBTrACS when added through this template or through its associated Wikidata page. See Hurricane Dorian for an example, the infobox has a link that says "IBTrACS". Wouldn't this work better displaying the link as a reference citation?
There's an inactive template IBTRACS which does this action. – The Grid ( talk) 13:07, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm currently in the process of changing all Infobox flood transclusions to this template. However, in the process, I caught up in a discussion with @ Nikkimaria in " 1997 Red River flood" on whether is it necessary to change the infobox in the first place, as Nikki said that there's no significant need to change the old template to the new one. Nikki also removed the "deprecated" tag in the flood infobox document.
I'm here to seek some detailed info on what significant advantages(s) the weather event infobox has over the flood one, as the template change clean-up discussion I find was mostly revolved around cyclone infoboxes, as pointed out by Nikki. PEACE SΞΞKΞRS [Talk] 06:59, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
