Add multiple telescopes to Astronomical Survey article

Hello, I wish to add the two telescopes related to the C-Band All Sky Survey but I can't since it uses the article's wikidata to pull the info. Is there a way to specify the wikidata ID in the telescope template? Thanks, Maqdisi (talk) 11:42, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two ways to do it. Either specify |qid=, or manually fill in all of the fields. — hike395 (talk) 15:43, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Start date and RFC-related updates

I have updated this template to comply with the longstanding RFC on Wikidata in infoboxes. If data is not showing up in articles, check to ensure that it is reliably sourced on Wikidata. I also removed the transclusion of {{Start date}}, which was generating error messages due to invalid input. The latter problem has been present for a long time, but {{start date}} was recently updated to check input for invalid formatting instead of just returning a version of the input. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:10, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
