“Major hurricane” tag in NWS hurricane subtemplate

Is there a proper way to add a way for the NWS hurricane sub template to differentiate between “hurricane” (C1 and C2) and “major hurricane” (C3+) like the old template? I feel like that’s missing from the current one and I’ve looked around for a way that I could safely add that but I am currently at a standstill. Any tips/if this is a good idea?

Hi, @MarioProtIV! If it used to be in the old infobox, I think it should also be part of this one. Right now, storm categories are resolved in Module:Storm categories, so the changes would probably need to be made there, specifically for the atl keys of cat3 and above. If this is too advanced for you, I can request those changes to be made to the module. Chlod (say hi!) 03:34, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t have the permissions anyway to edit that module so yes I would like if a request can be put in there to modify that. MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 03:57, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioProtIV: Sorry for the delayed response! I kind of forgot about this... I've made the changes at Special:Diff/1219443799, but have held off on filing an edit request. Should I also add the differentiation for EPac and SAtl, or just Atl is fine? Chlod (say hi!) 20:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As EPac is also under NHC, yes. For SAtl, I would say hold off since there’s officially no jurisdiction there, but considering Catarina was a thing and is officially called a hurricane by everyone, I would lean yes to adding it there as well, in the highly unlikely event something worse then Catarina happens. Alternatively, just adding -equivalent on the end akin to the WPac can work as well. MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 20:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally any particular reason why you held off on an edit request? Just curious but I’d understand if you'd want some more opinions from other editors in the project for a consensus first before putting it in. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 20:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioProtIV: I wanted confirmation for the above before making the request, so that I wouldn't bother template editors with two requests. I've now filed the request here. As for the two month delay since my last reply: that's just me being forgetful. Sorry! 🙇 Chlod (say hi!) 02:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
