== Broken infoboxes ==
The infoboxes currently do not show images, pls fix. - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 09:17, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 
:Images work in some infobox templates, such as [[Template:Infobox building]], but not in others. I'm currently working on trying to figure out why this is. Thanks, [[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 21:59, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 
:Images should work in all infoboxes now. Thanks for prodding me to look into this, @Monirec. [[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 02:34, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 
::Thanks! Now, gotta cleanup the pages which have images outside of infoboxes. - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 09:11, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 
== Page Deletion Request ==
Can you please delete [[2508 West New Haven Avenue (Melbourne, Florida)]], as it's incorrect, the correct page is [[2508 West New Haven Avenue (West Melbourne, Florida)]]. Sorry for the mistake, whether or not an address is in Melbourne or West Melbourne changes depending on which side of West New Haven Avenue it is on, and so I got it confused.
 
: I have set the first article to redirect to the second, which is what I would recommend rather than deleting it entirely. Thanks, [[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 16:23, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 
== Link Forum in sidebar?==
I think it would be better to link this page on the sidebar for easier access. Currently [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Bluepages:Forum|nothing]] suggests the existence of this page. - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 06:09, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 
: Good idea. How's this? [[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 02:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
:: (Sorry for a late) Thanks! - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 13:37, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 
==template hard help==
Currently [[Template:MissingCat]] uses [[Template:Notice]], but I am not sure if this is right. Another thing is, I am sure that the colour of the MissingCat template should be similiar/same as {{w|Template:Uncategorized}} on English Wikipedia. Can anyone help? - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 13:37, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 
:Do you think it should be replaced with a template based off of {{w|Template:Uncategorized}}? I could try to do that. [[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 17:57, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 
::It probably should. - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 12:52, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 
== Color coding for road tables ==
Some time ago i [[User:Monirec/Sandbox|experimented]] with color coding different places in road tables. But it is currently a mess, with each color being a seperate template. If there are any knowledgeable people who are able to make it better (possibly by putting it all in one template, and selecting the color using a single word), you are free to do so. P.S. Commerical and health are currently the same color, anybody knows how to separate them? <br />- [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 09:51, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 
: When in doubt, I'd recommend using the colors from the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AreasTab OpenStreetMap standard layer]. Also, in terms of table formatting, I recommend you check out the standards I've been developing on pages like [[Main Street (Racine, Wisconsin)]].

== [[Krispy Kreme (259 Ponce De Leon Avenue North East, Atlanta, Georgia)]] ==
Can someone check the # for that Krispy Kreme location? It blocks me from accessing the official website for some reason. - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 12:43, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
<gallery>File:Krispy cr 29.jpg</gallery>
[[User:penarc1|R C Peña]]
: Sorry I wasn't able to get to this until now. It's buried in the source code, but it looks like that location is store #45. Looking up "krispy kreme #45 atlanta" brings up some job listings and business records that seem to confirm it. -[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 07:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
:: Thank you, moved. - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 13:19, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 
== Possible Bluepages and OpenHistoricalMap integration? ==
OpenHistoricalMap is an OSM-based website, that aims to create a historical map database.
 
I've already attempted to link [[5505 St-Laurent Boulevard (Montreal, Quebec)|this]] article on Bluepages in OHM by adding a <code>bluepages=*</code> tag [https://openhistoricalmap.org/#map=19/45.52593/-73.59844 here].
 
As both projects share the same goals, could Bluepages and OHM be integrated together? - [[User:Monirec|Monirec]] ([[User talk:Monirec|talk]]) 16:02, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 
: I think cooperation between Bluepages and OHM would be a great idea, and it would be interesting to see what kind of cooperation would be possible. While I have quite a bit of experience editing OSM, I really don't know the first thing about how to integrate two services like these together. I imagine there'd need to be a working group of people with a lot of MediaWiki and OSM software experience to make that work. But since nearly every Bluepages article has a coord tag, it would be especially great to have something that can put those on a map, organize and sort them based on the contents of the article they come from, and go from there. If you or anyone else has more thoughts on how this could be done, I'd be really happy to work with them on that. -[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 08:05, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 
== Store Numbering Advice ==
One thing I'd advise for the store numbering format is to add zeroes preceding said numbers (00215 vs. 01427) or figure out how to update the ordering. It's somewhat wonky to access at this time. [[User:BatteryMill|BatteryMill]] ([[User talk:BatteryMill|talk]]) 01:31, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 
* That's a fair point. The trouble with treating store numbers as numbers instead of text, and the reason I didn't set it up that way in the first place, is that they'll show up as 1,427 instead of 1427, for example. Adding leading zeroes would avoid that problem, but I think readability is more important than proper sorting (and Publix, for example, doesn't use leading zeroes in its official store numbers, at least not on its website, so it wouldn't technically be accurate). I don't know if there's a more subtle way to do what you're suggesting, but if there is I'd be happy to implement it. Maybe something with DEFAULTSORT would work? By the way, thank you for adding those opening dates to Publix stores. The one thing I would ask is that you cite whatever sources you were using to find those dates and other information. [[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 05:11, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 
Yes, that is somewhat of a shame. There are a few such examples of leading zeroes floating online (https://location.westernunion.com/us/tn/franklin/5cf44d2346d9b2b66ec256cafe6979e6, https://supplysamaritan.org/listing/publix-0815/, and https://www.healthcare4ppl.com/supplier/florida/st-petersburg/publix-pharmacy-0071-15362.html), but it's up to you to decide, and up to us to see if Publix uses it officially anywhere.
 
You are welcome for the additions. All are sourced from the Publix upcoming store openings page (http://corporate.publix.com/about-publix/newsroom/new-store-openings) and Archive.org copies of said page. I have also found another spreadsheet with most openings dating to 2005. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/386723965164453899/820495335348633630/Publix_Store_Opening_Dates.pdf
 
Any other suggestions, let me know. [[User:BatteryMill|BatteryMill]] ([[User talk:BatteryMill|talk]]) 21:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 
* Thank you for letting me know about that great source from 2005. I went ahead and added all that information to Bluepages. Also, I think you should know that the citations need to be placed outside of the infobox, because otherwise the Cargo extension won't recognize them as dates. When you use a tool like the [https://www.bluepageswiki.org/wiki/Special:Drilldown/Publix?_single Drilldown page for Publix] that sorts articles by date, they all show up as January 1, 1970. I went ahead and fixed all the ones that were having that problem for Publix already, but I think you should just be aware of that going forward. Thanks again!
