== Creating pages for places (like Sears) you know exist, but don't know the store number ==
In this case, I know of two additional Sears locations here in the city of Cheyenne, Wyoming (even down to within a year of when they opened and closed), but I don't know their store numbers. What would be the best way to go about adding a page regarding the two additional stores that I've discovered since I don't know their store numbers?[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]]
: Hi there, I would recommend a title along the lines of [[Sears (123 Main Street, City, State)]] (although you could leave out the address if it were the only location that particular town ever had). That's what I've been doing. Since I also maintain a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zfLlX5QiRKuBQkWKmkKj-_3-YHtBsiquWNpBUB02ON4/edit#gid=1445574238 list of Sears department stores], I'm curious to know if the locations you have in mind were department stores or catalog outlets/franchises? It doesn't affect the title, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 03:58, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
: (I guess it may help if I put my usertag, haha.) Okay. I knew I'd seen cases of this take place on this wiki before where there is no store number, but I couldn't seem to find them again for reference. Both these stores are catalog stores... well technically, the second one is labeled in the city directories from the time as "Sears Roebuck & Co," but it's still a smaller store floor with a small automotive shop in the back. Here in Cheyenne, Sears started on Carey Avenue near W 19th St in 1957 (at least, that date is according to someone who was noted in the Sears Frontier Mall Grand Opening section from Oct 7 and 8 of 1980 which I discovered in a newspaper from Wyoming Tribune more recently). It moved to E 17th St near Warren Avenue (modern day it is a restaurant called Two Doors Down) before moving to the department store at Frontier Mall. Let's give this a shot... The first one (Carey Ave) was [[Sears (1813 Carey Avenue, Cheyenne, Wyoming)]]. The second one was [[Sears (116 East 17th St, Cheyenne, Wyoming)]]. Then I'll just have to go to those pages and actually create the page. [[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]]
: @[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] Just added pages for each of the two previous Cheyenne Sears locations. Updated the [[Sears 2371|Sears Frontier Mall]] one with a link to the past location as well. [[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]]
:: Thank you very much! I just went ahead and turned the abbreviation "St" into "Street" real quick, but aside from that, nice work and I'm glad to have you here. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 04:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
::: For sure @[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]]! Been a minute since I've communicated with you. Glad to contribute to this wiki in some way. If I remember right, I was the one that mentioned the other two Cheyenne Kmart stores in the day. It'd be kinda cool to one day have a reference for more places! [[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] 03:59, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
== Shopping Malls? ==
I've noticed that some places listed at the location of shopping malls/plazas seem to have links to the respective mall, but most if not all malls are currently not created. With that, I presume there'd be interest in creating pages on malls as well, wouldn't there? Do you have a preference for how to label them? I do already know there will be some examples like Frontier Mall where there'll have to be something to distinguish between say Frontier Mall in Cheyenne and Frontier Mall/Frontier Centre (branded as both depending on what you look at) in Saskatchewan... maybe naming the pages with a similar format as with the Sears example previously mentioned would be appropriate? Or would you prefer doing more like "Frontier Mall (Cheyenne)" or something of the like? --[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 20:12, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
: You know what, I just found one such example; I wasn't searching the right thing before. [[City_Center_Plaza_(Appleton,_Wisconsin)]] I'll look toward following this as a guideline for now. I can't do all malls just because there are so many, but I'd love to add info to malls and shopping centers in my area. If you have any other thoughts, just let me know.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 22:31, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
:: Yes, you have that right. I might add some automatically generated pages to fill out some of those red links in the future and hopefully encourage people to contribute to them more. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 23:19, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
== What would be the name format for a Kmart store whose store number is not known but known to exist? ==
If a Kmart is known but store number not known, what would be the naming format? --[[Special:Contributions/180.190.197.16|180.190.197.16]] 23:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
== Infobox Templates for stores not listed (including JAX and Sutherlands) ==
I'm not even sure I know how to explain this, but here go's. There's no infobox template for JAX (sometimes called JAX Goods or JAX Mercantile Co, it's a smaller brand of outdoor gear/farm/clothing stores mainly in the Front Range/Colorado region) and no infobox for Sutherlands (a home improvement store with locations in the US). As far as I'm reading, I guess there's some complexity to people these templated infoboxes. Am I able to go about creating an infobox for these, or is that something that you'd have to go about creating? In either case, I realize it'd be good to have similar sections (opened/closed/coords/and others) in the info box seen on store pages of Kmart, Sears, etc.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 20:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
* Anyone can create a new infobox template - I would recommend taking the source code of another template that already exists and copying it to a new page, such as [[Template:Infobox JAX]], making sure to change every appearance of the chain's name but no need to alter anything else. You can add it to the list on [[Bluepages:Tables]] as well - same idea, just copy the source code from one of the other table pages that are linked there, change the names, and you should be good. But if that doesn't work or proves to be too confusing, I don't mind adding it myself at all. -[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 23:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
* @[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] Ah that makes more sense now! Way easier than I was thinking it was. Cheers! Added JAX, Sutherlands.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 04:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
* @[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] I'm running into a bug with [[Template:Infobox JAX]], so it seems, and I am not coming across what is tripping the error. I created three JAX pages [[JAX 7]], [[JAX 8]], and [[JAX 9]], and all three display some kind of issue with the infobox, and it says, '"Unknown" contains an extrinsic dash or other characters that are invalid for a date interpretation.' The error only appears when the infobox template for JAX is used seemingly regardless of which values entered into any of the boxes including the two date boxes. All this suggests to me that there's an error in [[Template:Infobox JAX]]. My Sutherlands' template worked just fine; the odd thing is that when I use the identical source code from the [[Template:Infobox Sutherlands]] with the exception of changing "Sutherlands" to "JAX" in the template, the same error still comes up on individual JAX pages. Maybe it's just my eyes not spotting what I'd bet is a simple typo or error, but I don't know in this case. Actually... It seems to happen with any infobox as I tested the Sutherlands infobox in [[JAX 8]]; got the same result. Is it possible there is just something wrong on the JAX pages, maybe a setting that needs changed?--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 06:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
** Ah, I see the problem - the infobox expects there to always be a "closed" parameter, even if it's left blank in the source code and doesn't actually appear on the page. Just adding "|closed=" into the infobox gets rid of the error. That still probably shouldn't happen, so I'll see what I can do to prevent it entirely. -[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 07:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
***Oddly, very originally, those are the words I was looking for to describe what was happening originally except that I didn't realize it had solely to do with the "closed" and "opened" parameters not being typed into the source like that. JAX 8 displayed two errors and..... Yep it's because in that case, it wanted both an "opened" and a "closed" parameter that I haven't entered yet in the current version. That is interesting. For now, I'll have to add those parameters into the source for all the JAX pages. Ah-ha, that also explains why I didn't have the issue on [[Sutherlands 4307]], because I have inputted both of those two values, therefore it is not looking for any missing parameters. I guess I was right, something extremely simple that I was just not catching.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 21:03, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
== Target T-70 ==
Can't this [[Target (3940 West Clay Street, St. Charles, Missouri)]] page be merged into T-70 or moved? --[[Special:Contributions/120.28.225.54|120.28.225.54]] 22:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
== TheOptopolis using replaced fields ==
Should "replaced" and "replaced by" fields be used for previous or next tenants? TheOptopolis uses replaced fields mostly for next tenants but rarely previous.
* "replaced" and "replaced_by" are intended for locations that have moved. If a store moved to another location and something else opened in its former place, you would put the store's new location under "replaced_by" and the thing that opened in the old location as "next". I recognize that this might be confusing, but I couldn't really think of a better way to do it. -[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 01:40, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Let me say it, if Target T-1234 was replaced by Target T-2345, and Kmart 3333 was replaced by Kmart 9009 (just examples), Target T-1234 should be in "Replaced" for Target T-2345's page and that location should be in the "replaced by" page of the old location. Same logic applies to Kmart 3333 example location (All of these are real store numbers, just examples) --[[Special:Contributions/120.28.227.65|120.28.227.65]] 02:51, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
* I'll be frank, the main reason those sections originally confused me is because in the visual edit screen for the infobox, the previous and next tenants only say "previous" and "next;" the word "tenant" is omitted for me. When I first saw those sections, I had no idea what the heck "previous" and "next" meant. After I realized what they meant a bunch of pages down the line, I guess you could say I had an "a-ha" moment and an "oops" moment. I've been slowly correcting this mistake as I am able to do so. --[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 03:48, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
* Alright, JAX and Sutherlands pages should both be corrected to use the correct configuration with replaced/replaced by/previous tenant/next tenant.

== Can somebody see if a place "JAX 16" even exists in Scottsdale, New York, the page that was added by User 120.28.230.107? ==
Recently, someone who appears to not know the proper way to create pages created a page called "[[JAX 16]]" that has nothing to do with JAX Mercantile Co. If that store exists, fine, but I don't know if it exists. (If it does exist, it has nothing to do with JAX Mercantile Co, a business which never had a New York store--the farthest-east-store is in Iowa.) Can someone more educated about the area of New York see if "JAX 16" even exists? I would but I barely know anything about New York (never visited, only seen videos around NYC), and I definitely don't see any results in a quick Google search.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 07:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Edit, looks like somebody else already beat me to asking this question and apparently there isn't even a Scottsdale in New York according to that user. "JAX 16" may need deleted.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 07:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

A while ago, the same user changed a Kmart page to change it from "Scottsdale, AZ" to "Scottsdale, NY" but reverted it hours later.
: Oh wow. I guess at least here, they didn't change an existing page. Less harmful. That still would get annoying.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 07:52, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't know if this user is intentionally doing this or not (some recent edits have been otherwise legit), but this isn't the first instance of changing the location. I'll add that this IP was shown to have also changed the [[https://www.bluepageswiki.org/wiki/Family_Dollar_5901?diff=1053814&oldid=1053766|Cheyenne, Wyoming Family Dollar]] to be shown as in Ohio, even though there is no Cheyenne in Ohio.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 05:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Okay, you know what? I'm convinced it is vandalism at this point. In spite of my repetitive attempts to explain to this person that there are only TWO Cheyennes in the United States of America, they keep changing Kmart 7424 and Family Dollar 5901 to be in some other city that does not exist. I don't know what there is that can be done about this, but I'm getting tired of going in and reverting changes over and over and over again. Not sure what input you can provide on this matter if there even is input to be had.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 22:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
This time, they also changed Kmart 4413 to Ohio as well even though we all know that's incorrect. I've reverted that page back to the last edit as well.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 22:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

== Not all Taco John's pages show in Taco John's Table ==
It looks like someone tried to set up a infobox for Taco John's in the past, but the Taco John's I just added ([[Taco John's 1005]]) copying+pasting the template from the existing Taco John's location is not appearing in the [[Bluepages:Tables/Taco Johns|Taco Johns table]]. Although a small detail and although it may not be a big deal, I'll note that an apostrophe is missing on the [[Bluepages:Tables/Taco Johns|tables page]]. I have zero idea what would cause Taco John's 1005 to not appear in the Taco Johns table.

: I did not know that was a thing you could do before.

::: 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)

== How to handle stores and businesses that relocate but keep the same store number for the new and old location? ==
For the purpose of Bluepages, how would you recommend handling stores that kept the store number, but relocated? Cheyenne's Hobby Lobby, [[Hobby Lobby 164]] is one such example. The [http://web.archive.org/web/20060602052758/http://www.hobbylobby.com/site3/store/locations.cfm web.archive of the locations list from 2006] shows that the Cheyenne store was still #164 at its old location. Should there maybe be the base page (Hobby Lobby 164) then individual pages for each of the locations belonging to that number, or do you have some other approach to handling such a situation?--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 02:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hmm... Found the same is true of [[Natural Grocers 38]]. Kept the same number in the relocation.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 03:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC) OR--Edit, maybe not. I missed a detail that I now see.

== 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)

: 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)
