It would be a good to have a param to have for airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that don’t have hubs but do have operating bases. A good example would be Form 10-K for JetBlue which lists its bases on page 24, or the Form 10-K for Allegiant, which lists its bases on page 29. This information can also be matched up to the similar paramter in Template:Infobox airline.

Please add:

| labelXX = Operating base for

| dataXX = {{{operating_base|}}}

Just a question. How do we decide whether to refer to it as a focus city or an operating base? For example, JetBlue refers to them as focus cities in its 2021 Form 10-K. Also, for the airline's description of New York as one of its focus cities, it includes all New York–area airports, not just JFK. (Does JetBlue have a separate crew/maintenance base at Newark?) What determines whether we leave it as a focus city or call it an operating base for that airline? --Precision123 (talk) 17:54, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Following the recent addition to the infobox, please add operating_base to the check for unsupported params module call in the final line of the template. Implemented in the sandbox and will remove correctly-functioning instances of the template from Category:Pages using infobox airport with unknown parameters.

Mapframe arguments

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

Hi, please change this code:

| data35     = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|mapframe-marker=airport}}

to this code:

| data35     = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|mapframe-marker=airport|mapframe-wikidata = yes|onByDefault=yes}}

to show the boder of airport on all articles. See e.g., Changi Airport that the border of airport is not shown. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 15:09, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. The code below appears to be TemplateData code for the documentation page, not template code. This suggestion also needs consensus. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:19, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I used {{efn}} to give the information. I'm not sure that a change to the infobox is needed to do something that isn't going to be used often. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 04:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
