"Manual population" category false positives

Articles including Bern are being placed in Category:Pages using infobox Switzerland municipality with manual population even though they are getting data from ~~Wikidata~~ a template, {{Swiss populations NC}}, and its allied templates. Pinging ProcrastinatingReader, who added this check and category. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The category is passed whenever |population=/|populationof= is used. If you omit the parameter set then it autofills it from the same template. There's no way the infobox can tell whether its input comes from a template. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10 April 2024 edit request

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Greetings and felicitations. Would please make the "iso-code-region" visible, as it is in most other country and first level subdivision infoboxes? (I'm afraid I don't know how to code/construct the change, so I can't post proposed code, but perhaps you can copy it from {{Infobox English county}}.) —DocWatson42 (talk) 13:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or replacement?

I proposed merge or replacement for {{Infobox Switzerland municipality}} with {{Infobox settlement}}. Unlike other infoboxes of cities, villages, and municipalities, have their own native names in other languages for {{Infobox settlement}}. 181.39.48.120 (talk) 06:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template is already a wrapper for Infobox settlement. It has some custom features that probably would not be welcome in infobox settlement. Are you proposing that those features be eliminated? Please make a specific proposal, or create a demonstration page that shows infobox settlement being used for a settlement that currently uses this template's custom features. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:14, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See this and this for Geneva and Zurich by using {{Native name}} is placed on |subject_name = parameter. 170.83.82.10 (talk) 10:37, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you just want |native_name= and |native_name_lang= added to this template. You can add those parameters to the sandbox to see how they work on the testcases page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
