There are about 300 articles where the runway surface has been specified as "grass". The trouble is, grass is a redirect to the plant family Poaceae, and that's clearly not the intended meaning here. The closest things that I can see are turf/sod and lawn. Which one is the better target article? – Uanfala (talk) 22:03, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
There are also a lot of runway-related links of the form [[grass|turf]]
, mostly within article prose (almost 460 of them [1]). Whatever we decide about linking in the infobox field will probably apply to most of these as well. – Uanfala (talk) 13:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Base is listed as a param in the doc, but it doesn’t work. This would be a good param to have for airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that don’t have hubs but do have operating bases. RickyCourtney (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

It would be a good to have a param to have for airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that don’t have hubs but do have operating bases. A good example would be Form 10-K for JetBlue which lists its bases on page 24, or the Form 10-K for Allegiant, which lists its bases on page 29. This information can also be matched up to the similar paramter in Template:Infobox airline.
Please add:
| labelXX = Operating base for
| dataXX = {{{operating_base|}}}
Thank you for your consideration. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 20:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Following the recent addition to the infobox, please add operating_base
to the check for unsupported params module call in the final line of the template. Implemented in the sandbox and will remove correctly-functioning instances of the template from Category:Pages using infobox airport with unknown parameters.
