Ideally the information would really be in the individual articles and I can have the bot run through them to load it, but when doing that, I'd like to include other updates. For all those where it was missing, it's now in the template. Schutz 22:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC) Reply Some articles include the information directly. So the template (which is now 340 kb long) contains the neighbouring information for all municipalities in Switzerland ? Is it really a feature ? It seems slightly crazy to me firstly, because this can not be good for the software's performance, and secondly, because such information should be self-contained in each article (as a parameter) rather than being in this template. Appenzell (town) could probably be merged with Appenzell (district). They can easily be filtered with "municipality_type= former". The template should be adapted better for former municipalities. They are all non-municipalities ( Appenzell (town)) or former municipalities. Image:Kuckucksuhr.JPG lists the few remaining pages having problems. User:Docu Hopefully the import from the Italian wikipedia works. Maybe there is an easy way to import them for "neighboring_municipalities=".

User:DocuĪrticles in the French and Italian language version include the lists of neighboring municipalities. Possibly we could include a link like "(map)" where the list of neighboring municipalities are displayed (currently in an optional table row starting with "Surrounded by"). The maps available at commons mainly map the borders of the municipality as compared to the neighboring municipalities.

I've captured quite a few of them, but we need a method of chasing up the remainder. The task is to to find all remaining municipalities that display a coat within the subject_name box. And then we can give the title some colour, which looked a lot better than does plain white. I agree that it looked unattractive with the coat of arms buried within a coloured box, but a much better solution would be to edit all municipality boxes that display a coat of arms to make use of the imagepath_coa field. Recent changes meant that the coat of arms can now be successfully displayed along with a title ( sample1), or just the title if no arms exist ( sample2). Personally, I'd favor the previous "color", but obviously, this is something that may be debated at length. The current yellow might not be optimal for cases where "subject_name" still includes the coat of arms. Until naming is fixed, I'm moving it back to the old title ( Template:Infobox Swiss town).

There don't appear to be any others named that way though (see Special:Allpages/Infobox). As it's only for municipalities, we might as well change its name to " Template:Infobox Municipality CH". Supposedly, Tobias Conradi is trying to standardize names (by renaming to Template:Infobox Town CH). It would be nice if these maps were available in SVG format, and that we could just have a list of translations for all places, and a simple search/replace in the XML source could be used to translate them (although names of different lengths could ruin the layout). It is a pity, because the maps are excellent otherwise. I agree with Docu even though a map in German is better than no map at all, having a map that says "Frankreich" instead of "France" is likely to confuse English speakers rather than help them. Personally, I would use the first format, but I wouldn't use the maps with labels in German for places where it's not the local language. Initial inclusion just used the image path, later additions the entire image name.

KUCKUCKSUHR SCHWEIZ CODE
Since user Tschubby has uploaded almost every community map of Switzerland he made to Wiki Commons and many articles already include the image code I don't see a reason why the maps should remain turned off.
