::::{{u|Hypnôs}}. Just realised if you add "|year precipitation mm=12.0" instead of letting it calculate automatically it's a bit more accurate. The 0.04 is due to rounding from {{cvt|1|mm}}.

{{ping|Seddon}} You edited [[Module:Weather box/row]] on 3 April 2023 ([[Special:Diff/1147938351|diff]]) to add class="notheme" to each row of the table output. The edit summary was "Temporary fix to solve theming in Page Content Service". I don't want a full explanation but can you outline what that is about? Presumably the temporary fix is still needed? I'm planning to update the module soon and am trying to understand changes since I last examined the module. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 04:49, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

== Maximum of only 2 sources for weather boxes ==
I brought up how I was unable to add a third source for a weather box on the wiki help desk and was told that the maximum amount of sources is 2 and advised that if I want to suggest it be changed to allow a further source to bring it up here.
In my past couple of weeks editing in wikipedia I have had to give up on improving many weather boxes where I may have additional data such as temperature records or they have incomplete data as there are already 2 sources. If weather boxes could have at least 3 sources that would solve this problem. Is there a reason why the maximum is 2?

:See if [[Template talk:Weather box/Archive 9#More than 2 sources?]] works. It's limited to two only because no one has got around to enhancing it although I think some previous discussions have shown that some people prefer to use only the first source line.

::Thank you. I looked at the link you sent but I wasn't able to see how those pages included more than 2 sources as they are written only as "{'{Edmonton City Center weatherbox}}" for example. Are you able to explain or send me a link to somewhere to learn how to put multiple in the first source line? Earlier I spent an hour or so playing around but I wasn't successful. Cheers

:::Now that I look at it, I see that it is very ugly. A quick outline is that you would click, for example, the [[Edmonton#Climate]] link. The first weatherbox has various sources and you need to see the wikitext that was used to generate them. Click "Edit" next to the Climate heading. Searching through that shows that the wikitext is not there. Instead, we see <code><nowiki>{{Edmonton City Centre weatherbox}}</nowiki></code>. That is a [[Help:Template|template]]. The easiest way to see them is to now click Preview. Near the bottom of the screen you might be able to see "Templates used in this preview" where you can find [[Template:Edmonton City Centre weatherbox]]. Clicking that shows the template which you can edit to see the wikitext. It's a real mess and I would never have been able to follow it until I had been doing this sort of thing for months. It looks like this:
:::<code><nowiki>|source 1 = TEXT1<ref>REF1</ref>, TEXT2<ref>REF2</ref>, TEXT3<ref>REF3</ref></nowiki></code>

::::Thank you for your help. I've only been editing for a couple of weeks so it was very difficult for me to follow but the way you have written it worked well and I was able to add more than 2 sources. Cheers [[User:Javier1957|Javier1957]] ([[User talk:Javier1957|talk]]) 23:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

== "Mean maximum" and "Mean daily maximum" are confusing ==
Yes I know this has been discussed before, but it's still an issue. I've spent 30-40mins reading comments and looking up parameter text and template docs just figuring out what these two row descriptions are meant to mean. My suggestion is to align the template text with the parameter text. So "Mean maximum" becomes "Average record high" and "Mean daily maximum" becomes "Average high". Regardless of whether changes are ever made, or what they are made to be (because I don't think everyone will ever be happy with the terms used, based on the prior circuitous discussions) I'd also recommend adding notes that appear at the bottom of the template (below "Source:...") explaining what each of the terms in question mean. These notes could be added now while time is taken to determine the best course of action on the proper wording for these rows.

:Im not thrilled about the change we made, but i can't say ''average record high'' would be any clearer. It sounds like a contradiction in terms. A monthly ''record'' is not the highest temperature recorded in a 30-day period, it's the highest temperature recorded in every instance of that 30-day period each calendar year.
