A fact from Barnes Hospital, Cheadle appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 April 2008, and was viewed approximately 718 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Just wondering if the {{Infobox building}} should be replaced by {{Infobox Historic building}}. This could give the article a map with its location in Greater Manchester. An example of this infobox in use is here. —PolishName 10:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That template has fewer parameters in it (including a couple that we're using here, e.g. former names and non-decimal coordinate). I'm actually tempted to suggest that it is merged into {{infobox building}}... Mike Peel (talk) 18:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, nice. I sometimes wonder why there are so many templates for virtually the same thing... a building is still building even if it's 'historical' or not, right? ;) —PolishName 20:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The old Victorian building was largely unused after 1979, when all medical work transferred to purpose-built adjacent hospital buildings. Obviously, this new building was only in use until full closure in 1999, shortly after which it was demolished. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.98.173 (talk) 20:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
