Type column[edit]

What does "Type" relate to as one of the columns?— Rod ^talk 08:24, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The type of structure, as identified by English Heritage. i.e. whether it's a house, church, bridge, etc. -- KTC (talk) 10:42, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but on a NHLE data sheet (eg http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1055715 CHURCH HOUSE WITH INTEGERAL ORANGERY]) I can't see where this is included - although it is included in the spreadsheets you have provided. I could add my own interpretation but thought we should be going with what EH defines them as.— Rod ^talk 10:56, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The spreadsheet was gotten from EH. I've just been using the information from that. -- KTC (talk) 11:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Use in more generic lists of buildings[edit]

I'd like to adapt this template for use in more generic lists of buildings, such as List of police stations in the West Midlands and List of works by Sharpe and Paley.

I made a start, firstly by forking the header template, so I could work on it without breaking this one. I made {{Historic building header}}, but that should be merged back here (or perhaps under that name) eventually.

As can be seen as can be seen here, more work is needed:

we need to be able to turn off the "type" column
we need a header for coordinates but not grid ref, for use outside the UK
we need another column, for "designation", rather than automatically linking to the EH database - this will allow for listed, locally-listed, conservation-area-, and unprotected buildings (note the column on the Sharpe and Paley article)

@KTC:, @Jarry1250:, @Andrew Gray:, @RexxS: If there's no dissent, can someone assist, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:09, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@KTC:, @Jarry1250:, @Andrew Gray:, @RexxS: Nudge ;-) Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:10, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if the best approach might be (as you've started doing) to fork this template, produce a new one (say "{{English building list}}"), and try to produce a generalisable set of fields in there. Once that's stable and tested, we can convert the EH building list templates to be a wrapper for the new one with the right switches and fields pre-set. I don't have amazingly much knowledge of how this one's put together, though - I just patched as needed it! Andrew Gray (talk) 20:44, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've make an attempt to make what you wanted with 7 toggleable fields:

I don't know how you wanted "a header for coordinates but not grid ref" so I just separated them for now, but it will make the above not quite backwards-compatible at present. Hack away to get what you wanted! --RexxS (talk) 22:03, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Andrew Gray:, @RexxS: Thank you, both. A temporary fork is a good idea. By "a header for coordinates but not grid ref" I meant that the heading should be configurable to read just "Coordinates", for structures outside the UK (not that we need two columns). I think the "date listed" and "designation" fields should be adjacent, if not merged. You can now see the template in use on List of police stations in the West Midlands. Maybe add closed and/ or demolished params? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:12, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Column widths[edit]

Is it possible to set the column width using this template (and if so how)? List of Scheduled Monuments in South Somerset is currently at FLC and a comment at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Scheduled Monuments in South Somerset/archive1 says the notes column is too wide for normal monitors. Any help appreciated.— Rod ^talk 18:53, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is no parameter for this. On my setup, the Somerset page has the notes column occupying about 255 of the table anyway. Making it wider would squash other columns. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:54, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
