Template-protected edit request on 15 February 2025

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

Fourth request. Similar to first three. Propose adding Seoul Future Heritage as a designation. It meets all the criteria. 1. Reasonable number of sites (124) Y 2. article about it given, also see ext official website listing all the entries Y, 3. includes a number of buildings and businesses in South Korea; no locations that are overly broad Y

For color, I'll use the same color that other South Korean classifications use. These classifications do not overlap with each other so there shouldn't be an issue; i.e. the govt does not classify a single thing under multiple labels.

Change Template:Designation/colour by adding the following lines of text below |NATIONAL TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA:

|SEOUL FUTURE HERITAGE          = #A8BDEC

Change Template:Designation/colour2 by adding the following lines of text below |NATIONAL TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA:

|SEOUL FUTURE HERITAGE          = #CD313A

Change Template:Designation/text by adding the following lines of text below |NATIONAL TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA:

|SEOUL FUTURE HERITAGE          = [[Seoul Future Heritage]]

Once this is completed, please tag me and I can complete the documentation for these updates at Template:Designation/Supported designations. seefooddiet (talk) 04:18, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 9 May 2025: Proposal to use Template:Lang with certain designation names

This edit request to Template:Designation/text has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: Hello. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Non-English terms, I believe it would be appropriate to make use of Template:Lang with non-English designation titles, namely the national designations of France, the Netherlands, and Romania, and the provincial designation for Quebec.

Diff: Monument historique → Monument historique; Rijksmonument → Rijksmonument; Monument istoric → Monument istoric; Patrimoine culturel du Québec → Patrimoine culturel du Québec

Let me know what you think. Thanks! Rockhead126 (talk) 22:02, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rockhead126: Makes sense to me!

Done. Thanks for your contribution. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 03:45, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
