[edit] Add IF statements
Could someone add "if" statements to the template code, so if I don't put in a field for "management" for instance, I won't get the {{{manager}}} response or have the word "Management" anywhere. For help, look at Template:Infobox road. --TinMan 02:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Done, copied syntax from Template:Infobox Film —Fitch 07:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shopping centre Infobox change
There are tons of articles that need updating. Since you changed Template:Infobox shopping mall, you need to fix the articles. If you don't have time or a good way to recruit people, I guess change it back, I don't have a good way to fix them all. Also, the template uses {{{name}}} for the image, but that field isn't part of the infobox. Do you think it should be {{{shopping_mall_name}}} or should the pages be changed? Thanks for your help! —Fitch 18:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
{{{shopping_mall_name}}}should be put in yes, that was an oversight, as for the template's use, there aren't as many as that, I'll update as many as I can, in lumps of 20 or so. There can be changed by the Shopping Centres articles' respective authors. what needs to be deleted from the articles is[[Image:and|thumb|pixelsize|caption]]. Just put the image name in without size or caption. The changes make the infobox a lot easier and simpler to use, and is used as I've edited in on many other templates. Cheers, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 20:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)- There is no need to revert my changes of the template. Ignorance of the changes made does not justify reverting it, ask me what the changes do and how to update the articles that use the template.

Okay, so for those of you playing along at home, Captain Scarlet has made a change to the way images are displayed in the box. If you see something like this in the infobox:
[[Image:
|200px|caption]]
simply change {{{image}}} which may look like [[Image:image.jpg|thumb|pixelsize|caption]] to just the name of the image (image.jpg). Optionally, you may use {{{image_width}}} and {{{caption}}}. —Fitch 21:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gross Leasable Area
Would anyone be against adding GLA to the template, or does everyone else feel that it would be unneccissary? --DMAJohnson 19:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Add New Fields (Architect, Center Type/Mall Type) ?
Architect...
- I would like a new field (Architect) to be added to the template, for malls designed by notable architects. I think it would be a very useful (and of course optional) field to be added. For example, its very useful for the article on America's first shopping mall, Highland Park Village, which was designed Marion Fresenius Fooshee and James B. Cheek in 1931. This field would help people locate other buildings designed by the same architect, much like the developer/management/owner field works.
Center Type/Mall Type...
- A great addition to the template would be the ability to specify what type of mall it is. Is it regional, super-regional, open-air, outlet, enclosed? This type of information is critical to the infobox, in fact, much more useful than a field like 'building cost' which does not really give the reader much descriptive information. Please refer to the International Council of Shopping Centers Definitions if you are unfamiliar with shopping center classification terminology.

[edit] Why is "Website" data in bold?
It looks very odd and out of step with the house style. --Concrete Cowboy 18:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion for new fields
How about an "Anchors" field (and maybe a "Former anchors" field too), in place of "number of anchors"? TenPoundHammer 15:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
