You can manually set the status using |status=, but as a longer-term fix I think the code around data5 needs to be rewritten (that being said, I'm not entirely familiar with the WikidataIB code so this could just be nothing more than a cache issue).

Seems unlikely to be a cache problem as I set the status in Wikidata many months ago. I will set it manually on the article thanks - but if anyone has time and inclination perhaps they could check the code. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:57, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Tidal power shows as "Thermal power station" if fuel is set in WikiData
I spotted that the MeyGen tidal energy project was listed it as a Thermal power station, which is wrong. It had the Primary fuel listed as Tidal power. Andy Mabbett suggested this was being picked up from the WikiData source listing Tidal power as a fuel, but the template should be able to cope with that, see my question on the help page of 27 Jan 2024. The fuel source has been removed from WikiData, so Wikipedia looks correct now. Cheers, Donald. Drnoble (talk) 17:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I was working on the article over at Trenton Channel Power Plant (recently demolished), and I noticed there was not a parameter for a demolition date. Often the date when a facility is decommissioned and when it is demolished are quite far apart; would it be possible to add such a parameter? I'm open to doing so myself; I might just need a little guidance. TheTechnician27(Talk page)01:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to have been done as a result of #Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 10 September 2018, where the proposal said it's so that it can more easily be located in the country.
The thing is, not all countries are the same size, so this one-size-fits-all default override doesn't work well in many cases. The two examples used there were in California and on the western coast of England, but with smaller countries closer together like in continental Europe, you see a lot of them, whereas the topic of the article might not be supplying power to or having an effect on anywhere near the area shown. --Joy (talk) 21:08, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
