Is there an agreed protocol to use for the image and image2 variables? Should one be a photo of the terminal and the other should be a aerial view of the runway? Or is it more free form? I have some photos of general aviation airports and wanted to know where I should put them within the template. -Ichabod (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ichabod (talk • contribs) 03:29, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to propose adding the field of "Architect" to the infobox. For famous structures and buildings, it makes sense to cite who designed & built it. It is mentioned in most every article but not in the infobox.
For infobox_museums, it worked via embedding ((Infobox building)), which has also got a few other architecture-related parameters, like |architectural_style=
with this code:
((Infobox museum|embedded=((Infobox building|embed=yes|architect=The architect))))
Building details | |
---|---|
Design and construction | |
Architect(s) | The architect |
Can we do the same for Airports? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nconcklin (talk • contribs) 17:11, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
There are about 300 articles where the runway surface has been specified as "grass". The trouble is, grass is a redirect to the plant family Poaceae, and that's clearly not the intended meaning here. The closest things that I can see are turf/sod and lawn. Which one is the better target article? – Uanfala (talk) 22:03, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
There are also a lot of runway-related links of the form [[grass|turf]]
, mostly within article prose (almost 460 of them [1]). Whatever we decide about linking in the infobox field will probably apply to most of these as well. – Uanfala (talk) 13:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Base is listed as a param in the doc, but it doesn’t work. This would be a good param to have for airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that don’t have hubs but do have operating bases. RickyCourtney (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

It would be a good to have a param to have for airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that don’t have hubs but do have operating bases. A good example would be Form 10-K for JetBlue which lists its bases on page 24, or the Form 10-K for Allegiant, which lists its bases on page 29. This information can also be matched up to the similar paramter in Template:Infobox airline.
Please add:
| labelXX = Operating base for
| dataXX = (({operating_base|))}
Thank you for your consideration. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 20:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Following the recent addition to the infobox, please add operating_base
to the check for unsupported params module call in the final line of the template. Implemented in the sandbox and will remove correctly-functioning instances of the template from Category:Pages using infobox airport with unknown parameters. Pinging @Izno: Wham2001 (talk) 12:49, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
