Text and/or other creative content from Template:NRHP by state-region was copied or moved into Template:National Register of Historic Places with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
Replaced the simple image of text with more attractive graphic logo (IMHO) that appears on the title page of the "official site". Could not find the text image at the NRHP. — dogears ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC).

Could someone change the name parameter to "National Register of Historic Places," so all the vde links don't have to redirect from
Template:Registered Historic Places to here? Thanks! --

For
WP:ACCESSIBILITY by visually impaired readers, the purely decorative image that this template generates should have "link=
" instead of alt text, as per
WP:ALT #Purely decorative images. To do this, please install
the obvious sandbox patch. Thanks.

Since the previous comment the Mediawiki software has been changed to also require |alt=
to mark the image as being purely decorative. Please also install the obvious
sandbox patch. Thanks.

[[List of areas in the United States National Park System|National Park Service]] should be [[National Park Service]]. I do not see why this links to something other than what it says. Many of the areas on the list are not on the NRHP so that link is irrelevant. Thanks,

Please pipe the references to National Historic Sites and National Historical Parks both to
National Historic Sites (United States), otherwise the former points to a DAB page and the latter points to a redirect. Thanks. --

Can you remove the icon per

Gnevin (

"The use of icons in Wikipedia ... can provide useful visual cues" for navigation, and I believe that's the most appropriate use. This certainly does give navigation clues. It is used on talk pages of articles in the project (exclusively I believe) rather than articles where MOS:ICON seems to best apply. The picture is readily identifiable and helps in navigation. For example if I am rating an article that has several project infoboxes and I want to only put the rating in the NRHP box, it's easy to count down the number of other boxes to skip. It's easy to click the nearby text to go back to the project page. It's easy to click other nearby text to go to the NRHP article if that's necessary. It's easy to check that somehow I didn't get on the wrong talk page (I often keep 3-4 tabs open). It just makes it easy to navigate. And that is allowed. Also I believe the logic used against this, could equally well be used against any project icon used on the talk page. And that wasn't the intention of the writers of the guideline. While Skeezix might be technically correct in saying that the process of removing this type of icon would have to proceed icon by icon, doing it here for the first time would open a huge can of worms.

Please merge with {{ NRHP by state-region}}. Essentially all this entails is just to copy the contents of "NRHP by state-region" and replace the contents here with it (I've done the actually merging there, as it was not protected). You can also replace the contents of "NRHP by state-region" with a redirect if you wish, but I can do that once it's been copied over.

"Morocco" is the last entry in this Template (National Register of Historic Places), which concerns only the United States and its territories. "Morocco" ought to be removed, as it is not relevant to this topic. Thank you.

The group 3 heading should be "Lists [plural] by territories" to match the others, no? Deor ( talk) 12:32, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi. The District of Columbia is included as a "territory" under this template, even though it is not. If this template is going to distinguish between "states", "territories", and "associated states", then D.C. should be categorized correctly as the "federal district", "states and federal district", or (hopefully not) "other".

Do any admins regularly check this spot? Or comment on changes? Best, epicAdam( talk) 21:40, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
The "below" section only needs to read Category and Portal, with their respective icons.
That is more the standard these days, and less verbose.

Please update this template to the sandbox version. It fixes the bodyclass, verbosity in the "below" parameter (and adds the WikiProject), alphabetizes the Topics section, and corrects the sections according to the Political divisions of the United States.

This template currently has a "List of U.S. National Historic Landmarks by state"... Click on them & you find lists of NRHPs. But a NHL is NOT the same as an entry on the NRHPs (National Register of Historic Places). This obvious error should be corrected immediately. 216.164.62.52 ( talk) 12:14, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
