As eminence can be computed simply from prominence and elevation, we can safely remove that column and people can calculate the eminence for themselves. If this is an inconvenience (as I'm sure it would be), with some very trivial changes to the pages, we could make it possible for logged-in users to generate this themselves using javascript in their monobook.js (or similar for other skins). As an example, I've knocked together a small hill list in my sandbox; the only unusual things about it are a few additional class attributes on the table headings.
By doing this, a user can create User:XXX/monobook.js with a few lines like:
importScript('User:Ras52/mountainlist.js'); mountainlist_display_eminence = true;
and suddenly an eminence column will appear. (See my monobook.js file for example.) You can also add the line
mountainlist_convert_metres_to_feet = true;
if you prefer working in feet to metres.
This works by loading a javascript library, User:Ras52/mountainlist.js from my user space which does all the work. Important note: whenever you add custom javascript in Wikipedia, you need to make sure you trust the source it came from, as it is easy to write javascript to do something malicious. Wikipedia protects you to some extent by only allowing me to edit mountainlist.js, but you still have to trust me not to do anything evil.
To make this work on some existing table, the following is needed:
Anyway, what do you think? A useful idea or an unnecessary gimmick? — ras52 13:01, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
I'll leave another note for Buaidh about this. I do want to start removing the eminence info, however, since it will eventually propagate outside WP. (I just saw a mention of it on the prominence yahoogroup, for example.) That's exactly what is not supposed to happen---a concept originating in Wikipedia. -- Spireguy 18:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
So, I made a list of mountain articles that are good/features. I could only find those by looking at sister WikiProjects. Should we (collectively) spend some time bringing some mountain articles up to Good status? (I hope we can avoid a large evaluation effort by using other wikiprojects to find B-class mountain articles to improve). I was thinking that enlarging our set of Good articles would be more effective than trying to get a small handful to be FA. Thoughts? Does anyone else feel Good Article envy? :-) hike395 14:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I am new to Wikipedia but have created a stub on Mount Tarumae in Japan. It does not follow the project guidelines (yet) but I would like to link it into the project somehow - how do I go about doing this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kunchan ( talk • contribs) 17:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Mountains/List of mountains has been updated. More than 4,000 articles are now using the Infobox Mountain. Congratulations!
This is slightly more than WikiProject Lakes ( 3,940 articles with infobox). - October 21, 2007 -- User:Docu
What about that {{
Geobox Mountain}} horror?
