Location

Kind of weird to see headquarters location for a nationwide U.S. organization given simply as "location". - Jmabel ! talk 04:11, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Is this just a rant or do you actually want people to have a look at it? Including an example generally makes it possible for people to have a look at it. Multichill (talk) 09:11, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Spook in Category:Institution template home categories

Something is going wrong here, the category contains many categories it definitely shouldn't, e.g. Category:Scale model of a 100-gun ship of the line with Nelson's catafalque. Perhaps someone can have a look on it. --Marsupium (talk) 14:58, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

@Marsupium: I don't see that category and a quick skim didn't reveal any obvious mistakes, so I think it's fixed. BMacZero (talk) 04:58, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Looks like. Thank you! --Marsupium (talk) 08:43, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Support for multiple concurrent Locations

Institution:Nasjonalbiblioteket has locations in both Oslo and Mo i Rana, and both are recorded in Wikidata. However, the institution module only displays the most recently added entry (Mo i Rana). This is related to the request to account for End Time qualifiers, currently at the top of this page. BMacZero (talk) 05:01, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

 Strong support For many properties only the last value is fetched. It is completely arbitrary which value happens to be the last one. This behavior should be fixed for all of them! It lives in for loops that overwrite previous values with the last one, for this problem e.g. for _, statement in pairs( entity:getBestStatements( prop )) do in Module:Institution's harvest_wikidata() function. It should rather append values to a list and handle that – which of course is more complicated. But current handling is definitely a quite bad situation. --Marsupium (talk) 08:56, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

 Support Institution:Tsinghua University is based in Beijing but also has a campus in Shenzhen. Only the latter were displayed.--維基小霸王 (talk) 01:57, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Fetch address from Wikidata

It would be nice to display the address with street and house number in the location field as Template:Institution/doc recommends in "case of small little known institutions", but used for example by Institution:Château de Versailles, so we can further reduce the data needed to maintain locally. What do you think? Cheers, --Marsupium (talk) 07:59, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Use official website (P856) also if language doesn't match

It seems like official website (P856) isn't used for display if the language of it's language of work or name (P407) qualifier isn't in the fallback chain, see e.g. Institution:Kaisertrutz. I think that should change. Websites only in the local language of institutions are very common and I think we want to use them and leave it to the users to find a way to understand the website even if they use a different language for their Wikimedia Commons interface. --Marsupium (talk) 12:40, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Categorizing into redirects

It seems some changes on Commons aren't reflected in the template, so it keeps adding itself into redirected categories. These appear on Category:Non-empty category redirects.

Sample: The category rename at [1] wasn't take in account and Institution:Biblioteca di agraria UNINA was still in the old category here. I fixed this by setting "homecat=".

Petscan:28518015 can find others, but isn't necessarily up-to-date. I fixed all I found. Enhancing999 (talk) 16:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
