Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters (Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization.
Cities Template‑class | |||||||
|
Most capitalization is for proper names, acronyms, and initialisms."), I believe the row header should be "City name" instead of "City Name" (also, it seems like in the test case/example, it should be "English region/country" instead of "English Region/Country"), but the template looks complex enough I'm reluctant to make the change myself. 71.197.244.119 (talk) 06:10, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
In the case where there is no 'div' required, as in {{Largest cities of Nevada}}, if you don't specify one the template displays '[[]]' which is wrong. If div is not provided it should display nothing. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:01, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
This template is being used to create "largest cities" lists for some of the U.S. states. Unfortunately, in some states, some of the listed places are not "cities", but have some other legal designation. For example, in both Connecticut and Rhode Island, one or more of the ten largest is a New England town, not a legally incorporated "city." Unfortunately, the template allows no option for any other designation than "cities". Can't this be changed? --Orlady (talk) 18:47, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Many of these templates are being sourced to http://www.citypopulation.de/USA-Hawaii.html , which does not appear to me to be a WP:RS, although the data seem to be OK. --Orlady (talk) 18:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

An image for City 4 cannot be seen without the City 3 image being set up.
Is there an empty or null image that could be used as a placeholder? Or could the code test for a reserved word, e.g. null.bmp, which means to skip that image?
This pertains to Template:Largest cities of Zimbabwe.

With 3 or 4 photos in the template, the column headings align horizontally.
But with 2 photos, or fewer, "Pop." is out of alignment with the other headings. It's higher.
This effect can be seen in the templates for Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Please remove the excess bold formatting, specifically
The bold formatting does not comply with the general use of bold specified in MOS:BOLD. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:05, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
[[{{{country}}}]]
code? Specifically why, since this template is mostly used in country and state articles, why does it need to be linked? Yes, this is also used in US state articles where the state name is used as the "country" in the code, and there are demographics articles and city articles that also use this template, so the country/(state) link is "live" and blue on those pages. However, all those articles have links to the same country (or state) names, both in their leads and elsewhere in the articles. I submit that having the country linked in the header of this template, which causes the excessive looking bold that the requester seeks to omit, is nothing more, nothing less than over-linking. If no one objects, I would like to remove that link and resolve this excessive bold problem. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 05:56, 20 May 2014 (UTC) I was able to use a parser function (ifeq:) to return the "country" link on all pages that are not the "country" pagename. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 11:10, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

. Frietjes (talk) 15:45, 20 May 2014 (UTC) Most WP articles are written in formats along the lines of "List of cities in ...". To my mind this is more a specific format less vulnerable subjective interpretations. GregKaye 11:23, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Instances of this template are typically used as a navbox (in a collapsed state at the end of an article) and less frequently as an infobox (uncollapsed in the body of an article). The purpose of a navbox is to aid navigation between closely related articles, nothing more. This "navbox" includes optional parameter for sources (|stat_ref=
), populations (|pop_n=
) and for graphics (|img_n=
). This extra data extends far beyond a navbox and is more appropriate for an infobox. This template currently has a |class=nav
parameter. I propose to modify this template so that it accepts a |class=info(box)/nav(box)
parameter that would control whether the template behaves like a navbox (displaying only links) or as an infobox (displaying links + populations + graphics + sources). Since this template is more frequently used as a navbox, I further propose that the default value of |class=
be set to navbox. Is there support for this change? Boghog (talk) 12:30, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Suppress the link to the country in the title. It is mainly unnecessary and in cases like the Netherlands, it creates a redirection. Thanks. WhatsUpWorld (talk) 21:07, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Is there any reason to stretch the table to 100%? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E1:6714:4500:8D08:4C19:CF7E:DF59 (talk) 10:26, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Greetings and felicitations. Template:Largest cities of Jordan (which uses this template as a base) has a reference in it. The problem is that it is used as a navbar at the bottom of the ten listed articles, causing the reference to appear below it and the other navbars. What do you suggest is the solution for this? Remove the "Largest cities of Jordan" from the ten articles? Something else? —DocWatson42 (talk) 16:05, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
A newly-registered user randomly nominated one of the templates using this one for deletion. Discussion is at Wiki: Templates for discussion/Log/2021 May 17#Template:Largest cities of Israel. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 07:04, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
In article space, this template is used in numerous city articles but in a recent template discussion, it was determined that there is no policy which states national level templates should be kept.
The policy relevant here is WP:NAVCOLOR and that would mean that this template and templates that implement it would need to be deprecated and deleted.
WP:NAVCOLOR is applicable here because the design is arbitrary and capricious. This is due to the fact that this template gives options to list either 10 or 20 city entries and either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 pictures of cities and these options prevent the internal dimensions of the template from staying consistent.

{{Largest cities}}
. If its colours or photos are a problem, fix them. Don't condemn everything for the fault of one. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:52, 13 June 2021 (UTC) class="duhoc-en navbox"
. However, when not a navbox, it shall *not* be defined class="duhoc-en navbox"
(e.g., see TfD post PrimeHunter 12:13, 23 May 2021).class="duhoc-en info"
(which also solves the incorrect usage of navbox colors and suggestion). This should be checked & corrected for at least all article instances of this meta {{Largest cities}}.Templates "Largest cities of " has been nominated for deletion.

I found this test case in an article, and it is displaying template code to readers. It looks like we need better if statements. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:27, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
As Vector 2022 layout has become Wikipedia's default theme, the images in this template (like Template:Largest cities of the Philippines) have been causing image overflow on top of text or the right sidebar in smaller laptops with screens like 1280x800 px. Can the template be modified to hide the images for narrower screens (or just disable adding images altogether [since in Featured articles, such small thumbnail images are considered not accessible])?
