I think the unspoken compromise was to list both the uppercase and the lowercase greek letters for all greek-letter-name storms (at least, that stopped the revert warring). Since then, two anons have removed the uppercase greek letters; should I revert that? Maybe leave a note at the top of the page? --

Unfortunately, the unspoken compromise left both parties unhappy. It's even worse than having some caps and some non-caps. Oh well. -

I'm not sure about it being worse, since it makes it obvious that they're beyond the normal English alphabet. --

Redirect
This discussion should be a redirect, because all the season button bars should look the same and have the same usage; the discussion for all of them is equivalent.
Jdorje 21:42, 10 December 2005 (UTC)reply
Hmm, I was about to point at the above post about Greek letters, but I guess if it ever happens again it would be relevant. --
AySz88^-^ 21:53, 10 December 2005 (UTC)reply
I was the one who made the bars for 1995-2003 (and seriously corrected 2004), and I redirected all the talk pages to this one... unless somebody changed that in the past couple of days, I haven't checked.

Alright, all redirects from old templates to correct templates are (finally) done (1995 and after), and all talk pages for the correct templates lead to this.
PenguinCDF 00:36, 12 December 2005 (UTC)reply
I added redirects from every other button templates.

1995 is a good cutoff date since that's when the NHC moved to its new, more complete, forecasting format. If you guys go back further I don't know when you should stop.
Jdorje 22:38, 10 December 2005 (UTC)reply
That's why I stopped at 1995. However, I see some people attempted bars for earlier seasons (evident in the
Hurricane Joan-Miriam and
Hurricane Klaus articles), leading me to think we should go to 1979, the first year the 6 year rotation of names was used, and clean up some messes along the way. But I won't do them unless you guys think that's a good idea too.
PenguinCDF 19:36, 11 December 2005 (UTC)reply
If we do keep going (probably will, since I have nothing else to do tomorrow!), an absolute stopping point would be 1950, the first year of naming storms.
PenguinCDF 00:38, 12 December 2005 (UTC)reply
Please redirect the talk pages of those articles back to here.

Every season since 1976 has a button bar.
Hurricanehink 02:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)reply
Perhaps you should add {{
clear}} to the top of the button bar start. It seems a common problem that pictures run down onto the bar, causing formatting problems. And I can't think of any time that would be desirable.

1982 Button Bars Discussion
Sorry. One was a storm not a depression

intensity param
The intensity parameter should be changed to just take the intensity rather than the color. —
jdorje (
talk) 21:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)reply
I have nothing in particular in mind to ease the transition. Also, the # should be included in the {{
storm color}} template, but this would take even more work to fix up. —

That is done. -- Denelson83 10:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Template link?
These "buttons" are technically
navbox(es), and I think they all need the v • d • e links for easier edit access. For me to get to this template I had to edit an article, copy the code, then type it into search.

Numbers
The numbers used for Pacific typhoon articles aren't very intuitive, which is really the whole purpose for providing links at the bottom. If you don't want to identify the storms by letters, why not lose the whole thing?

The numbers used are the offical numbers assigned by JMA - and we cant id the JMA storms by letters as they are too simular see 2008 PTS for an example

It's not useful in its current configuration. I think its annoying to wait for a mouseover to reveal what it means.
