Template:Infobox building is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |

Despite being the second- and third-longest labels in the infobox, the labels for the "construction started" and "construction stopped" parameters are unique in this template in using {{ nowrap}} to prevent them from wrapping. This is in contrast to numerous shorter multi-word labels in the same template. As a result, when the infobox is used in its standard width, the labels take up nearly half the width of the box, leaving little space for the actual content. Could the {{nowrap}}s be removed? The necessary code is as follows:
Line 136: | Line 136: |
| data23 = {{{groundbreaking_date|}}} | | data23 = {{{groundbreaking_date|}}} |
| label24 = |
| label24 = Construction started |
| data24 = {{{start_date|{{{construction_start_date|}}}}}} | | data24 = {{{start_date|{{{construction_start_date|}}}}}} |
| label25 = |
| label25 = Construction stopped |
| data25 = {{{stop_date|{{{construction_stop_date|}}}}}} | | data25 = {{{stop_date|{{{construction_stop_date|}}}}}} |

construction_start_date
not included (though the infobox would nonetheless be shortened substantially as there would be less content wrapping). So I don't see how the inclusion of {{
nowrap}} could have been a deliberate choice intended for the entire infobox template as opposed to an ad hoc measure implemented inconsistently.

Could the "heritage designations" from e.g. Template:infobox religious building be brought in, so that we could give e.g. a building's UK listed status as part of this infobox? UndercoverClassicist ( talk) 18:57, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

to show heritage listing information. See
Balmoral Castle for an example. There is no need to duplicate that formatting here. –

It's unclear if floor-count is above ground only, or combination of above and below ground. Example. Is Logan Century Center 1 82 floors or 86?

Hello. Could you please add "Weight"? Bonthefox3 ( talk) 06:07, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Would it be possible to add a singular version of the "current tenants" label, for buildings with a single tenant (like headquarters)? Thanks! WikiFouf ( talk) 16:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
I’ve noticed that some pages (specifically the original World Trade Center articles) use red text for “destroyed” within the status parameter. I also seem to remember some articles using blue for another entry, possibly “on hold” or “under construction”, and green for “completed”. Not every page on a building has this, however, and I can’t find any standard written here. Should one be created? I’m personally for it and think it adds a little to the infobox, though I could see others saying it’s distracting. SavagePanda845 ( talk) 06:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
