This page is an archive of the discussion about proposed changes to the
Protected Areas Infobox. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the project's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was:
— Eoghanacht talk 12:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Based on a vote from the WikiProject Protected areas talk page there is interest in discussing modifications to the Protected Areas Infobox. The purpose of this page is to work toward concensus on ideas that anyone may have, in preparation of moving to a template standard for the infobox.
The period for submitting new proposals is now closed.
From October 14, 2005 until October 28, you may vote or comment on a proposal, or change your vote. Vote either "Support" or "Oppose." Please sign your vote with four tildes (~~~~).

After any proposals to modify the content of the infobox are settled, use the Template:Protected Area Table for articles about protected areas in or related to the United States.
As there was near unanimous support for the move to a template format during the initial phase of gauging interest on the talk page, we shall take this proposal as accepted. If you have any particular concerns with use of a template, or want to help work updating the encoding, please comment at: Template talk:Protected Area Table. Note that Proposal #2 is for a modified template with similar content.
The template has been added to the following articles for testing purposes:
Note that some fields are optional. For example, if you do not have a source for visitation numbers for an area, if you leave that field blank, then no row will display for visitation.
Program the new template to allow for degrees-minutes-seconds in the coordinates row. If possible, make the display of the seconds optional. If the programming is too difficult to make them optional, then for existing articles that only cite degrees and minutes enter a "0" in the seconds fields.

Adopt a newly programmed Template:Infobox protected area, with a change in IUCN colors for visual clarity.

In a nutshell, this template is different from the existing one in that it:
This demonstration version is fully functional as {{ Infobox_protected_area}}. Please see its talk page for an example and usage instructions. There is also a full-context example; you can test it with any of the other IUCN categories if you wish. Another test is at St. Clement's Island, a state park. The Notes and Explanations section goes into detail about some of how it's built.
Use a new scaleable, vector based map (see example below by Papayoung).

Add two parameters to the Infobox template, named locator_x and locator_y, which will automatically add a 10-pixel locator dot over the image. the parameters are the number of pixels from the left and top, respectively, to offset the locator dot.
For examples of how it looks and and is used, see the Infobox in Proposal #2, above, and the talk page for {{ Infobox_protected_area}}. This proposal can be combined with any of the other proposals on this page.
