Nova Scotia

This is a request to add a designation to {{Designation}}: the Heritage Property Act (Nova Scotia). This heritage legislation is provincial in scope ("State/provincial designations"), limited to sites in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Under the legislation, both the province and municipalities can designate sites and cultural landscapes, while municipalities can also designate heritage conservation districts. I cannot find a source that indicates how many sites are designated under this legislation, but apparently 1008 are listed so far on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. Callnames should be NOVA SCOTIA, NSHPA, and NOVA SCOTIA HERITAGE PROPERTY ACT. It doesn't really matter which colour is chosen for {{Designation/colour}} and those templates that still use the colours as backgrouds - I've already added blue to {{Designation/colour2}} (to match the Nova Scotian flag) for those templates that use a border. Let me know if additional information is required. Thanks for your help. Cheers, --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:30, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Germany

I have noticed Germany is not mentioned on the project page. I was thinking of importing some of the lists from deWiki like de:Liste der Baudenkmäler in Freising and have two questions: 1: do you have a terminology guide in the project? 2. A quick scan of the articles I see you tend to use plain wikitables. The German lists tend to use templates for the individual entries and their area containers like de:Vorlage:Denkmalliste Bayern Tabellenzeile used as

{{Denkmalliste Bayern Tabellenkopf|Gemeinde=Freising}} 
{{Denkmalliste Bayern Tabellenzeile
|Adresse= Alte Poststraße 5
|NS=48.40392
|EW=11.75005
|Bezeichnung= Wohnhaus
|Beschreibung=kleiner zweigeschossiger Schopfwalmbau mit Erker, Zwerchhaus und aufwändiger Fassadengliederung im Stil der Neurenaissance, erbaut 1888
|Nummer=D-1-78-124-1
|Bild= Alte Poststr 5 Freising.JPG
|Commonscat=
}}

where the templates are state specific due to different registration and numbering systems used. Do you have similar template already in use, or would there be an objection if the German Structure would be imported for the German lists. In particular I like the feature of being able to add a Commons category to every object. Agathoclea (talk) 11:53, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

A lot of new lists

For Wiki Loves Monuments we've been creating a lot of new lists. The templates used for these lists are in Category:Monument list templates and the talk pages in Category:Template-Class Historic sites articles. This project should probably be updated to include this new content. I would do it myself, but I'm a bit busy doing preparations for WLM. Multichill (talk) 11:30, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

National Registry of Cultural Monuments (Estonia)

It has a database: http://register.muinas.ee/?lang=en

There is a Wikiproject over at the Estonian Wikipedia, which has broken the monuments down into by-locality lists:

• et:Vikipeedia:Vikiprojekt Kultuuripärand/Eesti kultuurimälestised

Is it possible we could create a designation for this? --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:56, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Philippine Cultural Heritage sites WMF-sponsored initiative

There's a Wikimedia-GLAM sponsored project described at here which is generating photos and text documentation of Philippine Cultural Heritage sites. This came up at AFD about one new article created "Jusay Ancestral House". We need some stuff to be set up to accomodate these, such as a list-article and an infobox and a category. There are some brand new Wikipedia editors, including some who are themselves conducting interviews and otherwise performing primary-type research about the historic sites. So there will be issues to sort out, about what material, with what sourcing, when relative to properties achieving what level of listing status, etc., can be included into Wikipedia articles.

At the AFD, i offered to keep track of new articles created in this process, while asking AFD editors to hold off on nominating more for deletion. To do that, for now I'll start Category:Philippine Cultural Heritage sites, which could be renamed later. Any HSITES editors interested / able to help in any way? --doncram 16:51, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

The most recent entry on that blog is about Wiki Loves Monuments 2012, which seems unrelated to the article in question, created five days ago. Did you have something else in mind? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits

There has certainly been some activity around Category:Lists of Cultural Properties of the Philippines and there is a Category:Monuments and memorials in the Philippines. One recent article got deleted as a copyvio (Sariaya Ancestral houses). The ignored and deleted comment on its talkpage is most likely something we should look into. Agathoclea (talk) 18:45, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

What was that comment? Could you possibly copy that to here? --doncram 19:07, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Some of the info that I copy paste like for Villa Sariaya and Gala Rodriguez house are also authored by me. Eric Dedace where I get all my sources are also in communication with me and he is the one supplying the links from his page and he authorized me to use his articles). It's the mention of Eric Dedace that cought my attention. He certainly seems a valuable source of information due to the nature of his work. Agathoclea (talk) 19:29, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Agothoclea! It sounds like wp:OTRS might have been used to establish author permission for use of text published elsewhere, as an alternative to deletion. Could you possibly please provide a copy of the Sariaya Ancestral houses article and its talkpage to my userspace, including edit history? So that I might be fully informed in trying to correspond about that. I have started posting at wt:TAMBAY, by the way. --doncram 17:32, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

May be we should ask @Namayan: for some input. Agathoclea (talk) 18:48, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

There is current activity including a tomorrow-dated (because across the international date-line) posting at Philippine Heritage Map.Org (i will call this "PHM"). This mentions focus on the Visayas islands where historic sites were destroyed/damaged by Typhoon Haiyan (November 8, 2013) and where there was little/no documentation of the historic sites; the initiative is partly a reaction of that, and a continuation of GLAM-Wiki project I guess. PHM also mentions the 2009 "National Cultural Heritage" law which is available here (this URL works for me while the PHM's link did not). Seems like there's a call for people to take photos, write text about any apparent historic site, e.g. any having a historic plaque. Which is one way for a group of people to start, though it would be nice to work from a government-provided list of sites. PHM mentions Lists of Cultural Properties of the Philippines‎, whose Talk page could possibly be a focal point for development. --doncram 19:04, 19 May 2014 (UTC) --doncram 19:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

(Speaking in a personal capacity, and not as the Secretary of Wikimedia Philippines) I should note that the lists of Cultural Properties of the Philippines that are noted here on Wikipedia are based on the official list provided by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, and were created originally for the purpose of facilitating Wiki Loves Monuments 2012. I suggest, however, that if you guys have any questions about the project, feel free to drop a line at WT:TAMBAY, or notify Namayan, Joelaldor (the project manager), Seav (WMPH President) or myself. Thanks. :) --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 13:30, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you all for the attention. We've trained some 50 people to edit Wikipedia with a primary focus on Philippine heritage sites. Philippine law declares that structures that are at least 50 years old are considered heritage sites. We will greatly appreciate all the help the community could provide to help these new Wikipedia editors (who will be uploading also on Wikimedia Comomons) with their articles and prevent them from being deleted. We know the 3-day workshop isn't enough, but we are all communicating on our Facebook group should they need any help. -- Namayan (talk) 06:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

New designation for the Queensland Heritage Register

I would like to use the Historic Site infobox for articles on the Queensland Heritage Register and so I need a designation. I believe this register meets all the criteria:

1. It is a register that exists under legislation of the state of Queensland
2. The article Queensland Heritage Register has existed for some time on Wikipedia
3. Its scope is State/Provincial and currently has 1692 entries (and will continue to grow slowly over time)
4. The text should be "Queensland Heritage Register" (which is its official name and is unambiguous). If it needed to be shorter, the word "Register" could be dropped. The Queensland official state colour is maroon #73182C so that would be the preferred colour, but if it needs to be lighter for accessibility, would #ff405d be OK? If not, then of the colours suggested I guess the pink #FFC0CB would be closest.
5. The designation could be "QueenslandHR" or use the standard abbreviation Qld such as "QldHR"; whatever is most consistent and non-conflicting with other designations.

Thanks Kerry (talk) 01:40, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

I probably should add that there are around 200 Wikipedia articles on sites listed on the Queensland, see Category:Queensland Heritage Register. However, I have the remaining ones in draft at the moment (thanks to parts of the register being recently released under CC-BY and in a format somewhat amenable to automated article creation) so there is a realistic prospect of all 1600+ entries having their own article fairly soon so I would like to sort out this designation fairly quickly (as obviously creating the infobox by automation now is a lot less work than making 1600+ manually later). Kerry (talk) 01:49, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Could we do this for all the Australian state and territory registers at the same time? They're all in the same boat; Queensland is just lucky enough to have someone who's really organised! The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:29, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

South African Heritage Resources Agency

I would like to use the Historic Site infobox for articles on the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) and so I need a designation. I believe this register meets all the criteria:

1. It is a register that exists under legislation of South Africa as the National Heritage Resources Act, number 25 of 1999
2. The article South African Heritage Resources Agency has existed for some time on Wikipedia
3. Its scope is of National importance and currently has 1720+/- entries (and will continue to grow slowly over time)
4. The text should be "South African Heritage Resources Agency" (which is its official name and is unambiguous). If it needed to be shorter, the acronym "SAHRA" could be used. The national colours of South Africa are Green and Gold and as World Heritage Sites are indicated by Yellow/gold it would be preferable for the South African Register to be a dark Green colour.
5. Hundreds of pages already exist from the SAHRA registry and I would like to make more over time.

I need Some new designations

Hi, I have been wanting to improve Wikipedia's coverage of British Heritage Sites. As some people here have no doubt noticed, most statutory designations in England have been included in the National Heritage List For England (NHLE).

"The National Heritage List for England (NHLE) is the only official, up to date, register of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites in England - listed buildings, scheduled monuments, protected wrecks, registered parks and gardens, and battlefields." (Quote from Historic England).

This still does not include Locally Listed Buildings, or Conservation Areas. And being for England only does not include Scottish/Welsh/N. Irish equivalent listings. Now at this time Template: infobox historic site does not have designations for protected wrecks, registered parks and gardens, and battlefields. I also want Designations for Locally Listed Buildings, and Conservation Areas. Additionally I want to create an additional designation for the National Heritage List For England (as a header preferably). I hope this makes sense.

If it is not possible to add all this to the Template: infobox historic site, i have created a separate template for the purpose at Template: infobox NHLE as you can see (by the blatant copying) this would simply the same as Template: infobox NRHP but for the NHLE. I have not finished this template, and if the needed extra designations can be added to Template: infobox historic site then it can be deleted as it wont be needed.

I recommended perusing the information on Historic Englands own website rather than Wikipedia, as most the information here is based on the pre 2011 reforms and thus widely unhelpful. the designations i am taking about can be researched here: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/ .

A Guy into Books (talk) 08:14, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Regarding locally listed buildings: I agree that some sort of standard infobox—either a dedicated one or an extra parameter in an existing one—would be beneficial. I've just discovered this template: Template:Infobox designation list which apparently can be embedded within other infoboxes, such as Template:Infobox building. I wonder if code for a "Locally listed building" designation (and perhaps a "Conservation area" parameter, etc.) could be added to this? On articles I have written about locally listed buildings (e.g. Gwydyr Mansions), I have used Template:Infobox building, so it would be handy to be able to insert a "Locally listed building" parameter directly. I don't know whether any such LLB parameter should go in an NHLE template, though, as LLB status is conferred by local authorities rather than Historic England.

Incidentally, I would also like to see an equivalent of the {{Grade II colour}} etc. templates for use in list articles like this, where I have arbitrarily chosen an orange-ish background behind the bold "L". (Happy to try to create one, although template syntax isn't my strong point!) Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:10, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

I've struck out one of my sentences above because as per https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/local/, I'm not sure it's correct. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/local/ is written in council-speak, you were correct the first time, local listings are not given by Historic England.

At this point i think having the extra designations in an existing infobox would be best because making a new one is so much effort. (yes i have no idea how to properly code it:). Im not sure but I think most infoboxs can be embedded in others, which could allow a simpler infobox with only theses additional features, to be added to boxes like: Template:Infobox building or Template: infobox historic site.

Update

(text updated per doncram's comments) A Guy into Books (talk) 20:00, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I am planning to make some improvements to pages in this wikiproject and thought i should explain my ideas first.

I have decided to use the following code to update designations to my requirements. Please make comments if I have made any errors or you feel it should be added to or altered. If anything is missing then suggestions would be of great help.

I propose to add the following code:

to Template:Designation/text:

|NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|ENGLAND HISTORIC PARK
|ENGLAND HISTORIC GARDEN|ENGLISH HISTORIC PARK|ENGLISH HISTORIC GARDEN
|REGISTER OF HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|ENGLAND REGISTERED PARKS AND GARDENS     = National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens
|UK PROTECTED WRECK|UK MARITIME MILITARY GRAVE|UK HISTORIC WRECK|NHLE WRECK = UK Protected Wreck
|ENGLAND CONSERVATION AREA|ENGLISH CONSERVATION AREA = Conservation Area (United Kingdom)
|UK LOCALLY LISTED|LOCAL LISTED SITE UK|LOCALLY LISTED BUILDING = Locally Listed Building
|NHLE BATTLEFIELDS|UK REGISTRED BATTLEFIELDS = Registered Battlefields (UK)

And major improvements to: National Heritage List for England and some improvements to most other articles in associated catagories.

And complete the following uncompleted template: Template:Infobox NHLE. I decided to just use other infoboxes.

I have created the new category: Category:National Heritage List for England which i will use to keep track of what i am doing.

Hope this is all clear. --A Guy into Books (talk) 14:18, 8 August 2017 (UTC)</nowiki>

I just edited your posting to try to make it display better. About new pages Conservation Area, Protected Wreck, Registered Battlefields and Locally Listed Building (Locally Listed Buildings), I think you mean U.K.-specific or otherwise specific Proper Noun terms, in which case it may be better to expand the phrase to include the area, e.g. "United Kingdom Protected Wreck" or UK Protected Wreck, English Conservation Area, NHLE Battlefields to be specific and to differentiate from generic terms which exist or which may be created in the future (such as Conservation area (already a bluelink), Protected wreck (currently a redlink)) --doncram 18:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately the main template editor in the past here at wp:HSITES is not active in Wikipedia, perhaps/supposedly because of disagreement elsewhere with me personally, which I don't think will be resolved anytime soon, if ever. I hope others can step up to help on technical / template matters here. --doncram 18:34, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the layout improvements, they make it much more readable. Regarding the new pages I agree with your comments regarding being area specific. Also I have found the pages Conservation area (United Kingdom) and Registered Battlefields (UK) which just leaves the UK Protected Wreck and something on locally listed buildings, I will hold off from making these until I am certain nobody has made these pages already :). As far as the template editing is concerned, i'm sure I can try it in the sandbox first and get a admin or someone to take responsibility for actually copying it in. A Guy into Books (talk) 20:00, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay, good.

• There is Protected Wrecks of the UK which is a redirect to List of designations under the Protection of Wrecks Act. Note "redirects are cheap". You should feel free to create redirects yourself, such as from area-specific UK Protected Wreck, and even from more generic Protected wreck. The latter could be marked with {{R with possibilities}}, explicitly allowing for the possibility of a more general article being created there in the future, but allowing you/us to use it to mean the UK ones for now at least.
• Also there is Locally listed which is a redirect to Listed building#Locally listed buildings.

--doncram 21:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

A generic Protected wreck article could be used for the protected wrecks of other countries as well. For instance a section on the U.S. Abandoned Shipwrecks Act which seems to be more in your area of interest. A Guy into Books (talk) 09:38, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments UK is looking for volunteers

Hi all. Wiki Loves Monuments UK is looking for some volunteers to help with reviewing this year’s entries and identifying a long list of images that are worthy to be submitted to the three judges who will pick the final winners. You don't need to be a top photographer to volunteer for this, but you should have a good understanding of what makes an exceptional photograph and be able to distinguish good from mediocre images. You'd need to be able to commit to something like four or five hours work, mostly during October but perhaps during September as well.

If you are able to help, please leave a note on my talk page, or alternatively contact me using the "email this user" feature. More details can be found here. MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:11, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Nepal

There are lists of monuments for Nepal, which had been created some time ago in project space for WLM, and had been moved to draft space after a MfD, At this moment in time they are are mass deleted to a change in G13. Do we want them to disappear. Else they could be edited to start the clock for another 6 month. An example would be Draft:List of Monuments in Rautahat, Nepal and pictures that could be added can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Historic sites/Unused images of Cultural heritage monuments in Nepal. Agathoclea (talk) 09:51, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Really these should be worked on and sent to mainspace, putting off deletion per G13 is a good idea but we don't want indefinite parking. A Guy into Books (talk) 15:28, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

The problem was as I understand it that none of them was sourced. If anybody has sources, I am willing to restore the deleted items.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:36, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

I have left a message to the original creator at commons. Maybe something will be forthcoming. If we can get some sort of sourcing I might be in the position to get a Nepali friend of mine to do some doublechecking. Agathoclea (talk) 10:51, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

it seems like someone already requested a WP:Refund. Would this wp agree to host these pages as subpages until the sourcing issue can be reesolved? Agathoclea (talk) 14:14, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

I would think so. put them under Wikipedia:WikiProject Historic sites/Nepal/ <pagename here> eg. Wikipedia:WikiProject Historic sites/Nepal/List of Monuments in Rautahat, Nepa for Draft:List of Monuments in Rautahat, Nepal. that way they can be found easily. It would be wise to create an index page or category also. A Guy into Books (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

There is actually three layers of pages - A Master list of regions, many regional lists of districts and many district pages, many of which are "lists" of one item. None of them are sourced and most have no images so there is scant info to work from. Anyway if someone wants to complete the pages, all power to them. Legacypac (talk) 21:11, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

sounds like a lot of the district pages will need merging to their respective regions. A Guy into Books (talk) 21:53, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Actually there are images, but I have a problem with the script in matching them. Possibly due to the alpha-numeric ID Agathoclea (talk) 11:50, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

And commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Nepal with known IDs will be fun to clean up. Agathoclea (talk) 12:17, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Hey :) Didn't notice this discussion. There have also been conversations about this on other locations. It seems consensus is that moving to mainspace is indeed the most sensible. After all, there is a source available - it has just not been linked on all individual articles. See Draft:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal. Also, the source is a scan of a Nepali document. I couldn't read it myself - but that is bound to happen given the context. Some help with creating the right introductions and references would be welcomed. See also the conversation here and here.

There are indeed three layers of lists - but if that is an obstacle, it is easy to reduce that to two layers, I guess. This is just to make it easier to navigate. effeietsanders 17:03, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

New designation for the Register of the National Estate

Hi there. The Register of the National Estate is a secondary Australian register of sites of historic significance and comprises natural places and built environs throughout Australia. Can a category be added, using the abbreviation AustRNE, referring to the Australian Register of the National Estate, located here. The register is a closed register in that it has been superseded by other national and state registers; however, there are places that remain on the register. Many thanks. Rangasyd (talk) 17:10, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Im sure it can be added, at the moment we don't seem to have anyone who is confident on updating the templates, but I will do it sometime if someone else does not, since I have to add some designations also. A Guy into Books (talk) 21:59, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Give me a few days to look at the template and have a play around with it to see what can be done. Nthep (talk) 22:14, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

I already deciphered most of it, if that helps, see #I need Some new designations where i have explained the main pieces of code needed, and where to put them. A Guy into Books (talk) 14:35, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

@Aguyintobooks: I've added one entry for UK Battlefields which can be called by |designationN=NHLE Battlefields or |designationN=UK Registered battlefields inside {{Infobox historic site}}. For border colour I've used the same border colour as scheduled monuments as you had suggested the same background colour for the two. Please test (not only this but that I haven't broken anything existent) and let me know the results before I do any more. Nthep (talk) 14:36, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

@Aguyintobooks: & @Nthep: thanks. While we're at it, in June 2016 I asked for a new designation for Australian National Heritage List, the primary Australian register. It doesn't seem to have been actioned. Please scroll up to June 2016 or see below. And designations should also be added for each of the state heritage registers (numbered below):

Hi there. The Australian National Heritage List is the leading Australian register of sites of Australian historic significance. Can a category be added, using the abbreviation AHDb, referring to the Australian Heritage Database, located here. There are many thousands of records on this list, evidenced by some of the records listed on the Australian National Heritage List. Many thanks.

1. New South Wales State Heritage Register
2. South Australian Heritage Register
3. Tasmanian Heritage Register
4. Victorian Heritage Register
5. Western Australia State Register of Heritage Places

Are you able to help, please? Rangasyd (talk) 09:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Yes, Nthep seems to have put UK Battlefields in correctly, I am going to test it out to see if the new bit works, and then we can add the Australian National Heritage List, you should probably chose a colour, something that will not look the same as an existing designation used in Australia preferably. A Guy into Books (talk) 18:45, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

You should also decide if you want them all to have the same color. It looks like there should be 6 8 new designations. A Guy into Books (talk) 18:49, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. If you look here I have made a detailed request of the colours and the designations required, including various abbreviations of the eight various registers. Rangasyd (talk) 14:09, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Reply to - @Rangasyd: I have built the extended code for you and made it ready for someone to put it in. See User:Aguyintobooks/Essay/Historic sites template code. - A Guy into Books (talk) 14:59, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

@Aguyintobooks: all done but you didn't specify any colours or callnames for the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens so at the moment this one won't work. Let me know those details and I'll add them. Can I ask the rationale for the NHLE entry? Won't everything on NHLE fit into another E&W category anyway? Nthep (talk) 16:07, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

To be honest the NHLE made more sense to me when i first thought of it, Its basically a placeholder for when it is unclear which other designation should be used - or - when the item listed is itself different to what it would otherwise fit into, eg a listed building that is infact not a building. I doubt it will be used much.

I seem to have somehow omitted the listed gardens code - i will put it in here:

HISTORIC GARDEN|REGISTER OF HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|ENGLAND REGISTERED PARKS AND GARDENS  = [[National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens]]

HISTORIC GARDEN|REGISTER OF HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|ENGLAND REGISTERED PARKS AND GARDENS  = #A8EDEF

HISTORIC GARDEN|REGISTER OF HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|ENGLAND REGISTERED PARKS AND GARDENS  = #A8EDEF

{{designation/Supported designations/row|t={{{t|}}}|REGISTER OF HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS|1600|HISTORIC GARDEN;REGISTER OF HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS;HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS;ENGLAND REGISTERED PARKS AND GARDENS}}

Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated. :) A Guy into Books (talk) 18:47, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Uganda

Hey,

I added the lists of the National Cultural Sites of Uganda to Wikipedia. This on request of the local Wiki Loves Monuments team. Improvements to the lists are of course welcome. Especially an article about National Cultural Site would probably be welcome. effeietsanders 19:29, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

There is National Cultural Sites of Uganda which could be made into an article (as National Cultural Site is very generic), and its current content moved to List of National Cultural Sites in Uganda as a top-level list article.

New designation for the Brisbane Heritage Register

I see people creating some article from the Brisbane Heritage Register (see the official list of entries here so it's probably timely to add it to avoid the invalid designation error. In order to tick the boxes:

• yes it's an official designation with a "reasonable number" of sites. I am not sure how many sites are on the register, but, if you look at the list of sites, there are 68 pages with about 30 entries on a randomly selected page, so I think it's easily over 1,000
• there is a Wikipedia article about the register (see above) and above is the external link to the list, there is also a searchable database with more info than the list
• the scope is within the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, city of 1.1M people over an area of 1,342.7 km2 as at the 2016 census with a history extending back to 1824. It is Australia's most populous local government area.
• Text and colour scheme: Brisbane Heritage Register and #BFFFBF (one of the suggested colours which should contrast well with Queensland Heritage Register)
• callname BHR, does not appear to be already in use

Thanks Kerry (talk) 05:19, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

New designation for the Record of Monuments and Places (Republic of Ireland)

I would like to use the Historic Site infobox for articles on the Record of Monuments and Places and so I need a designation. I believe this register meets all the criteria:

1. It is a register that exists under legislation of the Republic of Ireland
2. I created the Record of Monuments and Places has existed for some time on Wikipedia
3. Its scope is National and currently has thousands of entries
4. The text should be "Record of Monuments and Places" (which is its official name and is unambiguous, as no other country uses this name for its heritage register). A good colour would be #CDE5B2 - green, to go with the orange of National Monument (Ireland)
5. The designation could be "RMP"

Only about 700 historical sites have a National Monument (Ireland) designation, while the RMP covers tens of thousands. Sheila1988 (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

@Sheila1988: - I will do the code for this shortly, I only just did one, so this time I will bundle it with some others I am planning before getting a template editor to add it. If there are any other Irish Registers you can think of then do say, anything with more than ~50 potential designations is perfectly reasonable, we don't have a space limit.

Revise designation for the New South Wales State Heritage Register

@Aguyintobooks:@Kerry Raymond:@The Drover's Wife: A revision of the exiting designation for the New South Wales State Heritage Register is proposed. The Register currently lists items of international, national, State, and local heritage. As a result, the existing designation structure on Wikipedia does not allow the reader to distinguish if a heritage item is of local or state significance. It is proposed that seperate codes be established, as follows:

Code for {{Designation/colour}}

|NEW SOUTH WALES STATE HERITAGE REGISTER|NSW STATE HERITAGE REGISTER|NSW|NSW SHR = #DACAA5
|NEW SOUTH WALES HERITAGE DATABASE|NSW HERITAGE DATABASE|NSWHD|NSW HD = #A8BDEC

Code for {{Designation/text}}

|NEW SOUTH WALES STATE HERITAGE REGISTER|NSW STATE HERITAGE REGISTER|NEW SOUTH WALES HERITAGE REGISTER|NSW HERITAGE REGISTER|NSW|NSW SHR = New South Wales State Heritage Register
|NEW SOUTH WALES HERITAGE DATABASE|NSW HERITAGE DATABASE|NSWHD|NSW HD = New South Wales Heritage (Local) Register

Historic monuments code designation for Romania

In 2021 Timișoara will be one of European Capital of Culture cities. We expect many visitors to search for information, including Wikipedia. On ro.wp we plan to write about the historic monuments in Timișoara.

In Romania the historic monuments are registered in the List of historic monuments in Romania (in Romanian: Lista monumentelor istorice – LMI). Here you find the official lists. Each monument has a code, the LMI code. Timisoara has 119 positions in this list. We have some articles on ro.wp (see article list here) and we intend to translate some on en.wp. On ro.wp the infobox contains the LMI code. Can this code be implemented at Template:Infobox designation list for use in Template:Infobox historic site?

Obviously, this LMI code would also be used in other articles about historic monuments in Romania, not just those in Timișoara. Thank you. --Turbojet (talk) 07:25, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

I know that {{Infobox castrum}} (see Category:Roman legionary fortresses in Romania) and {{Infobox ancient site}} (see Category:Dacian fortresses in Romania) have references to the LMI Code. It would be great if the other templates would have it too. Codrin.B (talk) 09:08, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Designation for Monument of National Importance (India)

I request a designation for the historic monuments of India, designated Monuments of National Importance. About 3650 sites are designated. It meets all the requirements.

1. It is an official designation given by the Archeological Survey of India, and the national designation for historic monuments of India.
2. It has a page on Wikipedia, namely Lists of Indian Monuments of National Importance.
3. It's scope is national;, ie. only monuments within India can be listed.
4. The text can be "Monument of National Importance (India)", while the color can be saffron from the Indian flag.

Designation box border line width for "National Historic Site of Canada"

The red border line for the designation box "National Historic Site of Canada" appears rather wide. It tends to dominate every Infobox it appears in, and, being red, suggests a warning or critical information. Is there a way to thin the line so it's not as urgent-looking? The one that appears on the Template Talk page for "Designation" looks much better. See the section called "Using borders instead of backgrounds". You will notice, there, that I have asked this question several times over the past two YEARS, with no reply. Thanks. Yoho2001 (talk) 05:29, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
