Map doesn't show lakes[edit]

Hi, for the Perry_Nuclear_Generating_Station, the map in the infobox doesn't show Lake Erie, which makes it seem like the power plant is idiotically located nowhere near a water body. How to fix this? --Hbf878 (talk) 09:44, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an issue with the infobox, and I suspect it's a problem with the map itself. Primefac (talk) 12:10, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This has been resolved in January 2023. --Hbf878 (talk) 13:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Emba Hunutlu status shown wrong - bug?[edit]

State of use is correct in Wikidata as “in use” but Emba Hunutlu power station shows wrongly as still under construction. Is this a bug and if so how can it be fixed please? Chidgk1 (talk) 16:54, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can manually set the status using |status=, but as a longer-term fix I think the code around data5 needs to be rewritten (that being said, I'm not entirely familiar with the WikidataIB code so this could just be nothing more than a cache issue). Primefac (talk) 13:23, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems unlikely to be a cache problem as I set the status in Wikidata many months ago. I will set it manually on the article thanks - but if anyone has time and inclination perhaps they could check the code. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:57, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tidal power shows as "Thermal power station" if fuel is set in WikiData[edit]

I spotted that the MeyGen tidal energy project was listed it as a Thermal power station, which is wrong. It had the Primary fuel listed as Tidal power. Andy Mabbett suggested this was being picked up from the WikiData source listing Tidal power as a fuel, but the template should be able to cope with that, see my question on the help page of 27 Jan 2024. The fuel source has been removed from WikiData, so Wikipedia looks correct now. Cheers, Donald. Drnoble (talk) 17:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem. "Mabbett". ;-) Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Demolition date[edit]

Hello. I was working on the article over at Trenton Channel Power Plant (recently demolished), and I noticed there was not a parameter for a demolition date. Often the date when a facility is decommissioned and when it is demolished are quite far apart; would it be possible to add such a parameter? I'm open to doing so myself; I might just need a little guidance. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 01:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
