Template talk:Infobox ancient site

Country linking

The examples in parameters, |Location= have the country linked. Paraphrasing MOS:OVERLINK, says that countries should generally not be linked. Can this be changed? Sciencefish (talk) 08:27, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Turning off default thumbnail display

For some sites an image is placed above the map in the infobox which I am assuming comes from wikidata. How do I turn that off? Seems like the editor should be able to decide whether to lead with the map or not. I read the infobox ancient site template page and am still clueless. An example would be Khafajah. Thanks. :-) Ploversegg (talk) 15:36, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Ok, I looked at the template source. So I can't prevent an image from being displayed but I CAN replace it with another image using the "image=X" entry. Well, half a loaf is better than none.Ploversegg (talk) 15:57, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

default mapframe marker icon

@Joe Roe sorry, I don't quite understand what Template_talk:Infobox_ancient_site/Archive_1#Three_dots_rather_than_one has to do with setting historic as the default marker. That's , not . As the typical ancient site is marked with a panel explaining it, this seems like a reasonable thing that readers would recognize. --07:54, 5 November 2024 (UTC) Joy (talk) 07:54, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't think the average person will automatically recognise three dots or a sign as representing an archaeological or historic sign. Since this template only shows the location of one place, there's no need to distinguish the marker from others, so the simple default dot is fine. – Joe (talk) 16:00, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
