Misuse of Infobox Parameters in Articles

[edit]

Many articles on Indian districts, blocks, and towns misuse the leader_title and leader_name parameters of {{Infobox settlement}}. These fields are meant to display actual governing authorities, such as District Magistrates, Municipal Commissioners, or elected heads, but are often incorrectly used to list administrative subdivisions and political constituencies. subdivision_type and subdivision_name should not be used for listing blocks or assembly constituencies either. These parameters are meant to indicate the larger administrative unit that the subject belongs to, such as the state or division a district is part of—not the district’s own subdivisions like blocks or tehsils.

In short, blocks and assembly constituencies should not be listed in the infobox. Instead, they should be discussed in relevant sections such as Administration and Politics. The only exception is that blank_namen and blank_infon may be used to list assembly or parliamentary constituencies associated with the district.

Request new Article

[edit]

I want to request a new article named Aurangzeb Tomb Controversy. 獅眠洞 (talk) 11:50, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wait for one week; it's a violent topic, and more information will come out. Bongan® →TalkToMe← 12:17, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bhana

[edit]

I've sorted out some formatting issues and removed some rather old vandalism from the Bhana article. I note that unlike the first quoted Sanskrit text, the second quoted text ("तं जातमभिव्याददात्स भाणमकरोत्सैव वागभवत्") has no English translation.

Machine translation translates it to "He gave him what was born and he didn't feel it and it was the same speech", but there's no way I'm putting machine translation output for a language I don't speak into an article. Could someone please review the article and add a translation for that second quotation? (and perhaps check the rest of the stuff too?) — The Anome (talk) 16:55, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Anome: See edit. Please feel free to further revise the formatting and explanation; the cited source is borrow-able on archive.org. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 18:07, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
