Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to WZKX when you modified the page, you introduced conversion errors. The {{convert}} template can be complex and I encourage you to read its documentation but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it and when conversion errors are present they will show up in red. It is strongly recommended that you always use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

I appreciate it. Also a thank you on my end to @Polunbus: for correcting the error. Nathan Obral • he/him/🦝 • t • c • 20:09, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

WINC (AM)

Sammi and I have discussed this one and while I understand your changes and understand that Radio-Locator is depreciated, it's unfortunately the only site with AM station coverage maps. FCC LMS and CDBS, which have never had AM coverage maps, don't list one for WINC. REC is limited on them and WINC is not one of the stations that has them. So, unfortunately, Radio-Locator is the only source.

If you notice, I only linked to the daytime and nighttime coverage maps. No other information, no other pages, just the maps. That information is not depreciated. That [https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/page?p=maps comes from the FCC, likely CDBS. You'll find it says "These maps are drawn using engineering data from the FCC." So, while the site itself is depreciated, the coverage maps are directly from the FCC.

As I told Sammi, I am open to suggestions, but unfortunately, at the moment, we have to use the only information available to us and that's Radio-Locator, not REC (which I did include for transmission site location confirmation) or LMS/CDBS. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:13, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You are linking to REC and LMS in both KZPA and WPDX (AM), but neither of these sources show coverage area maps for AM stations. @Sammi Brie:, could I borrow your assistance, please? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 18:32, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, that was the USGS! Check the source. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:24, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
You were correct in that. I had to revert my revert and readd that. *facepalms* Nathan Obral • he/him/🦝 • t • c • 19:35, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I also shouldn't have to message you three times to start a conversation or dig into the USGS for coverage maps which were identical to R-L's. Unfortunately, they are only daytime maps, so nighttime cover is unsourced. We quite literally can't source nighttime coverage. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:37, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Sammi Brie has suggested to me that citing REC is acceptable, especially for AM stations. FCCData sources the contour maps from the FCC's engineering data but render the nighttime ionsphere slightly different. Those have been what Sammi and I have used to create contour maps of our own for use in specific articles.
An aside: With regard to this, the Virtual Editor minifies the infobox template because that is by their design. This is not a personal motive of mine to remove the spacing between the field name and the =. Nathan Obral • he/him/🦝 • t • c • 20:50, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
VisualEditor, not Virtual. That is actually in the TemplateData for the parameter. It would be possible with consensus to display spaces at all times (mw:Help:TemplateData#Custom formats). Right now, if you make an edit through VE, it will automatically enforce block parameters, one space after all parameter names, if you touch the infobox (e.g. Special:Diff/1338032200 which I specifically did as a demo). Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 20:57, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, this is something that VisualEditor does by default when you edit an infobox (VE has other "features" that can be annoying to some, such as adding quotes around ref names without them). I can suggest using User:Taavi/Aligner.js after modifying an infobox, if it's bothersome. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:41, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
