[edit] Using the hospital infobox
An issue has arisen with using the infobox for vanished hospitals - the case in point being Highlands Hospital. Whilst I belieive the topic deserves an article, using the standard infobox alongside it (with its categories such as emergency services, website, responsible authority, etc.) seems to me rather misleading. So I want to propose a convention that the infobox is only used for actual hospitals which are still used for treating illness - especially as there are so many active hospitals where the infobox is not up yet. Please give your opinion.--Smerus 17:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- I would argue that closed hospitals still warrant having an infobox, but that it should make clear the hospital is closed. The current infobox does that (it's always had a closed date as part of the history section) although arguably it should be made clearer. What services the hospital offered and who managed it are still relevant information so shouldn't be removed from the infobox. The point of an infobox is to give summary information on the article, not to say "this hospital is still open". Waggers 10:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Archive
By the way, as this page is getting rather long, I have set up the auto-archive feature which you can see at the top, which should make it easier to find our way about current issues. Archived items will continue to be available at a click.--Smerus 17:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Good move. Waggers 10:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Bad timing by me, the Werdnabot is off line, but there is a specialized archiving bot for talkpages for which I have put in a request. Watch the space at the top of the page!--Smerus 13:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Although Werdnabot is currently offline, Shadowbot3 has taken over the archiving of pages that have the Werdnabot archival template on them, so using the Werdnabot templates should still work. Waggers 14:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
