County executives and district attorneys[edit]
Should we include the county executive as well as the district attorney of a county? 2600:100C:A103:309B:8DBE:362A:250C:185D (talk) 01:46, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a directory, per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. In general I feel the absolute maximum number of people should be included in community infoboxes should be 1 or 2 top people max. For example, for cities (yeah I know this isn't a county), I feel that maybe the Mayor and City Manager is the most that should ever be included, because of WP:NOTDIRECTORY, so the same for counties too, only the top 1 or 2 people of power. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 23:48, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- I agree here but what would encompass this? Both of these are pretty powerful in general. 2600:100C:A103:309B:78B5:8E87:10D3:39D (talk) 01:41, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
Hawaii Time Zone[edit]
Hawaii does not observe Daylight Savings Time, yet Hawaii is in the | timezone1_DST parameter, resulting in HADT appearing in the DST line on pages such as Kauai County, Hawaii, despite the fact that DST is not observed there. I think that Hawaii should be removed from here and released with something like Aleutian as only settlements in the Aleutian Islands use HADT. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 20:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- On second thought, change
[[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]
to{{#ifeq:{{{state}}}|Hawaii||[[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]}}CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 20:39, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
Parameters for Government section[edit]
The government subsection of the infobox only has the one leader parameter, so perhaps a second parameter for legislative bodies (such as county councils, as a fair few have their own articles) and types of government would work well to keep it from looking too small and out of place.

Template-protected edit request on 19 January 2024[edit]
 | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
The Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone is split between Hawaii and Alaska. Alaska observes daylight saving time, but Hawaii does not. Thus, please change:
Hawaii = [[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]
to
Hawaii = {{#ifeq:{{{state}}}|Hawaii||[[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]}}
and please add
| Hawaii = {{#ifeq:{{{state}}}|Hawaii||−9}}
below
| Alaska = −8
in the two places where each occurs. Kk.urban (talk) 20:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
