Editing Module talk:InfoboxImage (section)

== Explicit option to not add image ==

This module is sometimes called by an infobox which passes on an image parameter if it's given in the call and otherwise automatically passes on a Wikidata image. If an article explicitly wants no image then it can pick one of the suppressed image names like <code>image=No image available.png</code> in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Batak_Hydropower_Cascade&diff=prev&oldid=1187688731] which uses {{tl|Infobox dam}}. That was hard to work out, later editors of the article may blank the bad looking image parameter in good faith, and I don't know whether the list of suppressed images is certain to never remove a listed image name. I suggest adding a clear and simple value <code>|image=no</code> to not display any image. A blank <code>|image=</code> already does this but as mentioned, that doesn't work in some calls of infoboxes. I came here after working on [[Wikipedia:Teahouse#Technical question about infobox]].

:Should all instances of a nested {{tl|Infobox dam}} disable the image? If so, the fix is straightforward in that template. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 12:21, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
