I moved this template to the correct location. Please make any new such templates at their correct locations; don't use the talk namespace for templates. Jdorje 06:20, 3 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

For clarification, the correct location is {{2004 Atlantic hurricane season buttons}}. Jdorje 22:36, 10 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

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? --AySz88^-^ 18:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, the unspoken compromise left both parties unhappy. It's even worse than having some caps and some non-caps. Oh well. - Cuivienen 15:41, 11 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure about it being worse, since it makes it obvious that they're beyond the normal English alphabet. --AySz88^-^ 17:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

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. PenguinCDF 19:31, 11 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

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. Hurricanehink 02:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

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. Jdorje 06:28, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Every season since 1976 has a button bar. Hurricanehink 02:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think it should be back to 1950. Icelandic Hurricane #12 15:01, 18 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Every season since 1968 has a buttons bar now. Icelandic Hurricane #12 00:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Now 1966. Icelandic Hurricane #12 01:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Now 1962. Icelandic Hurricane #12 22:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Now '59. Icelandic Hurricane #12 22:04, 24 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. Jdorje 06:28, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry. One was a storm not a depression juan andrés 04:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

The intensity parameter should be changed to just take the intensity rather than the color. — jdorje (talk) 21:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

You're talking about Template:Hurricane season bar button? If so, while I agree, I don't know that it would be worth the effort; do you have something in mind? —Locke Cole • t • c 21:26, 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. — jdorje (talk) 22:30, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
