Infobox

Just wondering if the {{Infobox building}} should be replaced by {{Infobox Historic building}}. This could give the article a map with its location in Greater Manchester. An example of this infobox in use is here. —PolishName 10:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That template has fewer parameters in it (including a couple that we're using here, e.g. former names and non-decimal coordinate). I'm actually tempted to suggest that it is merged into {{infobox building}}... Mike Peel (talk) 18:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, nice. I sometimes wonder why there are so many templates for virtually the same thing... a building is still building even if it's 'historical' or not, right? ;) —PolishName 20:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Hospital

The old Victorian building was largely unused after 1979, when all medical work transferred to purpose-built adjacent hospital buildings. Obviously, this new building was only in use until full closure in 1999, shortly after which it was demolished. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.98.173 (talk) 20:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
