I understand that there were other templates merged in at the same time, and that's fine, of course. There will be different means of preserving attribution in each of those cases too. But the history merge was the necessary method for this case. -- 1035:
It's true that there won't be a huge amount of new uses for this template, however, there are a fair number of defunct courts for which articles can (and should) still be made as well as Article I quasi-judicial bodies.

At this point I feel like a major revision to the template is unnecessary. All district courts and circuit courts already have the infobox on their pages, and no new courts are going to be created any time soon. Thus, no significant edits using this template are going to be made in the foreseeable

As a result of merging four different templates that all served slightly different purposes, this template retains a number of parameters that can be condensed. Currently, they only complicate the template without any justifiable basis. I propose simplifying the following features:

You may want to temporarily disable "ignoreblank = y" in the unknown parameter checking so that you can get rid of all invalid parameter names, even if they are unused. Unused parameters are sometimes filled in by well-meaning editors. –

If this edit is implemented on the live template, I will then have to go through and manually correct the parameters on all of the articles affected (which will be every article using this template). 509:, which prevents line breaking, from several parameter labels. I had those in there so as to prevent unnecessary vertical spillover in the template. If you don't mind, could you explain your rationale? 1088:
Apologies for the late reply. I'm fine with these changes, as they would probably be the last changes for a while. Drop me a ping if you need help implementing the changes on the court pages. –
