I have a template that stacks {{ United States topic}} under another template. I would like the ability to disable the navbar by adding:
|navbar= {{{navbar|Tnavbar}}}
This will keep the current default setting, but give the ability to pass the navbar
parameter to {{
navbox}}. ---—

I have updated {{ United States topic/sandbox}} to replace {{ ·w}} with{{ flatlist}}. Flatlist uses the standard * for list markup. Visually it is the same, but for the visually impaired using a screen reader, it reads it as a list and not a string of words. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 17:19, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
We currently do not have (and most likely never will have) a sufficient amount of topical articles to warrant the inclusion of these links. The only ones I know of that are not redirects are two history stubs (both of which ought to be merged and redirected as well), but these don't use this particular navbox. Is there any reason for including them? Nightw 13:01, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Gadget850 offered the following on ussages:
|exclude-isl=
. 177 templates use {{
United States topic}}, and 44 include |exclude-isl=
. There are probably a lot of templates that should exclude these islands, such as {{
CrimeUS}}. ---—

talk 14:42, 13 November 2011 (UTC)This isn't about notability, it's about navigation. This group can be exclude from usage on specific pages. There are a fair number of uses of this to link to page sections via redirect, which is a reasonable means to navigate to whatever content is present in the project.

Removing this section broke the navigation to the various islands, such as Kingman Reef. I've restored it. You may have deleted or redirected the subtopics, but the islands themselves remain and should be in the navbox. Alarbus ( talk) 04:55, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Nightw 10:06, 24 November 2011 (UTC)I have modified Template:Lighthouses in the United States to cease using this template because something like a dozen states don't have any lighthouses. I'm not up on template syntax but it might be useful for the lighthouses and other limited lists to have a way to exclude a set of states. Mangoe ( talk) 13:46, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
From what I can tell, Washington, D.C. is the City of Washington, a (municipal) corporation, within the District of Columbia, a federal district governed by the US Congress. A city has no place being a top-level topic in this template; only the District has such a place. Only the District of Columbia is a state- and territory-level entity within the United States. Furthermore, it is questionable whether such a city actually exists (but I should say that even if such a city still legally exists, it by no means derogates my above argument). As such, I propose that the default be "District of Columbia" instead of the city within it. For the same reasons, the State of Washington does not need pre-disambiguation with a city in a template about state- and territory-level topics, so that suffix should be removed as well.

I have reverted a recent edit that broke Template:United States political divisions, among other pages. Please experiment in the sandbox and use "What links here" to see transclusions of this template. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 23:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
" The Marianas" is NOT an insular area, it is an island chain. Guam is an insular area, and the Northern Mariana Islands is insular area, just as American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the USVI. They are distinct political entities like the other three and should not be treated as a subset of The Marianas, which hold no political status in the US. No other template transcluding this one has links specific to this archipelago generally; this template does not have the formatting for it because it is unnecessary. I will remove it again in several days. Reywas92 Talk 01:36, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
United States Minor Outlying Islands is an IOS statistical designation, not a type of U.S. political division; the term has no basis in U.S. federal law. As such, I propose that the 9 islands grouped under that heading be moved to the Insular areas group, and subgrouped as "uninhabited". Thank you. Drdpw ( talk) 20:36, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

A recent change by Fayenatic london has broken the links for Guam, for example see Template:United States political divisions, where Guam links to "Guamanian", which redirects to Chamorro people. I'm not sure of the issue, though it would be appreciated if this could be fixed, or the template be restored to a prior revision until this can be corrected. S.A.

Add a "By type" section for types of power stations. The first subsection would include "Non-renewable" U.S. power stations with "Coal", "Natural Gas", and "Nuclear". The second subsection would include "Renewable" U.S. power stations with "Geothermal", "Hydroelectric", "Solar", and "Wind (Onshore • Offshore)". This request mirrors what is seen in the "By type" section of the Wikipedia Template:Power stations template as well as the List of power stations in the United States article.

I came across this template at Template:Lists of colleges and universities in the United States. I'm not sure why we separate out the sections for federal districts, insular areas, and outlying islands. There's never going to be any federal district other than D.C., and the territories are mostly very small. Shouldn't there just be a single section that includes everything, and is labeled "states and territories"? It doesn't make sense to be placing all this visual weight on non-states. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 12:16, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
