New parameter

Hello, I suggest adding a new parameter to the template |pushpin label=. Currently it uses the |name= parameter or the article title, this is not ideal if this is long. This would allow a short, user selected label, to go next to the location pin of the map. Any thoughts? Keith D (talk) 17:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Former name parameter not working

The parameter |former name is currently not displaying in the infobox, as seen in San Isidro Labrador Church (Pulilan). Please fix it. Sanglahi86 (talk) 13:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sanglahi86: Problem appears to be |former names= which appears in the example, but |former name= used in the details of the documentation. The code checks if |former names= is empty before outputting |former name=, thus to display |former name= you need to have an empty |former names=. Looks like this needs fixing in the template and the documentation updated. Keith D (talk) 19:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Link for consecrated date

Currently the consecrated date parameter renders with a label that links to Sacredness#Transitions. Since this infobox is meant for Christian churches, would it be better to link to Consecration in Christianity? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:25, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that that is a better link. Ergo Sum 02:09, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
