: I refreshed the page and it came up on the table, so I guess it just took a little bit of time to process. You can force it to hurry up by purging the page cache. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 14:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
: I did not know that was a thing you could do before. I just had to use the purge thing on [[Hobby Lobby 43]] to get a newly created page with a link to appear as blue instead of red, and it did work! HOWEVER - I noticed the [[Bluepages:Tables/Hobby_Lobby|Hobby Lobby table]] is having the same thing happen that the Taco Johns table was, but when I use the purge button, it says it failed every time, and I've tried doing it there a handful of times yesterday and today to no avail. In this case, there are many stores that should be appearing there but aren't, even though some were created years ago now.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 20:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
:: I'm told there was some server trouble earlier today. It should be working now. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 22:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
::: That might have been part of the problem; now the button worked for me. More of them are coming up now (including infoboxes I've just added), but some still are not loading including stores 2-7 for Hobby Lobby... It looks like the infobox on [[Hobby Lobby 1]] (that is appearing in the table) is typed the same besides the location/address/etc. for [[Hobby Lobby 2]] and [[Hobby Lobby 3]], so I'm pretty sure it's not a typo in the code causing the few to not appear.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 22:49, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
:::: I think that's a problem with the table not being able to load more than 500 locations at a time. All those locations show up on the state-level table at [[Category:Hobby Lobby stores in Oklahoma]]. I really wish the system were capable of handling more than that, but I haven't found a way to make that work. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 23:19, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
::::: Ah, okay. I was wondering where the limit was TBH.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 00:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
== How to handle stores and businesses that relocate but keep the same store number for the new and old location? ==
Line 249 ⟶ 259:
: My strategy has typically been to keep them together on one page with multiple infoboxes. Here's an example: [[Hastings 9604]] --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 04:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
== Another fake page ==
Looks like someone created another Kmart that never existed. [[Kmart 9522]]. Definitely did not have that store in Cheyenne, WY.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 21:37, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

== Kmart 7424 closure date definitive to be in mid-1991 ==
I found photos dated the end of August 1991 that show both the old Cheyenne Kmarts ([[Kmart 7424|7424]] and [[Kmart 4413|4413]]) had closed by that point; signage was no longer on either of the old buildings and parking lots were empty in these photos. The Pershing Kmart (4413) even had construction work already taking place in the parking lot.
It was brought to my attention that the date in the spreadsheet still displays 1992 for store 7424. Figured I'd mention this information to you.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 19:13, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
: Thanks for finding that. I've fixed it now. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 05:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
== Kmart 3891 date ==
The store's opening date is actually on July 29, 1991. put the opening ceremony on August 1 on the store's notes. and it also has to be replaced 7424
: In my opinion, I still say the opening date is unclear at this point with the way the newspaper was worded, that the store, "opened on August 1st," and that the "customers will have an opportunity to shop at the new Kmart store on Dell Range Boulevard on Aug. 1." If it opened on the 29th, wouldn't the customers have had an opportunity to shop on the 29th? Wouldn't that have been clarified? There is the possibility that maybe the writer simply didn't clarify that information, but it's also possible the 2002 list is wrong. Personally, I feel like more evidence is needed to confirm one way or the other, evidence that likely isn't going to be easy to find... evidence that very well may exist somewhere but that is not as simple as grabbing a local newspaper article that shares about the grand opening or looking at that list from 2002.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 00:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
:: All right, I've put it down as an estimate. Hopefully more information can be found. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 01:08, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
== Found another Sears store that doesn't appear to be listed (Fort Collins, CO) ==
I stumbled upon another [[Sears (225 South Meldrum Street, Fort Collins, Colorado)]] that I currently don't know the store number. Found photos of it ([https://fchc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/ph/id/8029/rec/22 225sme66], [https://fchc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/ph/id/8030/rec/23 225sme69]) and it's also listed as a Sears Roebuck and Co in the [https://fchc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/cid/id/30835/rec/1 1966 Fort Collins CO directory], pg 288.
Figured I'd mention this as I'm sure you'd like to add it to your spreadsheet.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 06:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
* I appreciate that, but catalog stores aren't included in the spreadsheet, at least not yet. There would be a lot of work to do to make that happen. Maybe someday I'll manage it. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 06:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
== Never had this issue happen on a template - ""Unknown" contains an extrinsic dash or other characters" ==
For some reason, I keep getting this error message on a new infobox I'm trying to create called [[Infobox Old Country Buffet|https://www.bluepageswiki.org/wiki/Infobox_Old_Country_Buffet]]. No idea why this error is here; besides changing the name to Old Country Buffet and the colors in the abovestyle element, it's literally a duplicate of another restaurant's infobox that doesn't have these error messages. Unfortunately, it seems that whatever is causing this error message is also preventing the infobox from being usable. The two spots that use the Date item don't appear to have any other characters besides the phrase "Date" so I'm confused why the error would even appear.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 20:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Solved. Someone moved the page to where it was supposed to be, idk why the "Template" part didn't end up in the title when I was creating the page (I always have included that word before). That should have been obvious to me lol, my mistake.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 21:05, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
