Parameter explanations in Chembox:Properties are not aligned with the parameter names.
[edit]Depending on font and screen size, the lists of parameter names and explanations may fail to be aligned with each other. Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Units for molar mass
[edit]Please see discussion at Template talk:Chem molar mass#Non-standard molar mass notation that is about the display of part of the Chembox. DMacks (talk) 04:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Duplicate parameters
[edit]In Ammonium hexacyanoferrate(II), {{Chembox Properties}} has two values for the "N" parameter, which might be chemically correct, but the template returns an error:
- Warning: Ammonium hexacyanoferrate(II) is calling Template:Chembox Properties with more than one value for the "N" parameter. Only the last value provided will be used.
Has it been applied incorrectly? —GoldRingChip 16:53, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Passing more than one N parameter is not correct in this context, per the template's docs and technical meaning of this set of fields. I fixed the parameters (there was also another mistake). DMacks (talk) 16:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. —GoldRingChip 17:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
