Hello mgeo - thanks a lot for the warm welcome and the helpful pointers. I must admit that I was wondering about how to go about asking questions, I'll try that right away! Jjgw (talk) 10:06, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On the Wetzikon page, there is a problem with the infobox (which uses the Template:Infobox Swiss town template): There is a map of the district of Hinwil (with the area of the municipality Wetzikon specially marked) that you can "show" or "hide". Unfortunately the title there is "Map of Wetzikon", which is wrong. How should I proceed to fix this issue, or otherwise get this addressed if it's something that I cannot fix myself?

It was made by an active German Wikipedia user (talk page [[1]] here) with a basic understanding of English; added by an inactive user in the 3 Jul 2007 edit. Post to Talk:Wetzikon, Wikipedia:Help desk, Wikipedia:New contributors' help page/questions, Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests, Wikipedia:IRC (above), or wait for someone here, dealer's choice.

What is the title supposed to be? The map I see after clicking the show button appears to be correct. C_(u)w_(t)C_(c) 20:34, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Location of Wetzikon" would be better. Proposed this now on the talk page for the template. Jjgw (talk) 15:54, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've nulled this help template since there are now 3 responders. Robert Skyhawk ^{(T C)} 03:25, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For every municipality, the infobox doesn't show a map of it but a map of the district where the municipality is located, hence it's true that "Map of X" is a bit misleading. Now, the infobox template is protected (can by edited by admins only), so if you want to modify something you have to propose your change on the template talk page. You can insert {{edit protected}} before your proposal so an admin will see it and eventually implement the change for you (you can see Wikipedia:Edit requests for more details). mgeo talk 22:35, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
