== Satellite parameter? ==

{{ping|Chlod}} or really anyone else, is there a way that a "Satellite tornadoes:" parameter could be added? This is mainly for [[2007 Greensburg tornado]], but it would be beneficial for readers in several articles. I suck with code, so I'm afraid I'll mess it up horribly. :) [[User:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''E'''</span>]]<sub>[[User talk:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''F'''</span>]]</sub><sup>[[Special:Contributions/EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''5'''</span>]]</sup> 22:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

:Hi, @[[User:EF5|EF5]]! Where would you like it to appear (which section of the infobox), and in what form? <span style="background:#ffff55">'''''[[User:Chlod|Chlod]]'''''</span>&nbsp;<small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">([[User talk:Chlod|say&nbsp;hi!]])</small> 05:18, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
::{{ping|Chlod}} Preferably under the “winds” parameter (for the tornado infobox, no other weather event has [[Satellite tornado|satellites]]), and just “Satellites:”, “Associated satellites” or “Satellite tornadoes”.

:::Hi, @[[User:EF5|EF5]]! Sorry it took a while to get back to you. It seems your approach on 2007 Greensburg tornado was actually the best one here, since it seems adding in another parameter to enable the header for use on the /Tornadoes box would increase its complexity without much good reason. Another section in the infobox is best represented with another sub-box. I've created {{T|Infobox weather event/Satellite tornadoes}} to standardize this; you can use the following template code on 2007 Greensburg tornado:
:::<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext>
{{Infobox weather event/Satellite tornadoes
| winds = Unknown
| tornadoes = 10 confirmed
| fujita-scale = EF1
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
:::Do also take note that any parameter on {{T|Infobox weather event/Tornado outbreak}} can also be used here. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do tell! <span style="background:#ffff55">'''''[[User:Chlod|Chlod]]'''''</span>&nbsp;<small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">([[User talk:Chlod|say&nbsp;hi!]])</small> 21:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

== Unofficial ratings ==

{{ping|Chlod}} could you add an unofficial rating parameter should be added for tornadoes, displaying similarly to the Fujita or Enhanced Fujita scale rating when tornadoes are not assigned an official rating but have a widely accepted rating? See also [[Talk:1925 Tri-State tornado#Oh boy]]. Ratings could display as '''F5 tornado (unofficial)''' and retain their colour much the same as an official tornado (current attempts to do this result in no colour and a not-quite-broken infobox). Either way, we've agreed EFU/FU is unsourced, EF?/F? is less than ideal (and perhaps even [[WP:SYNTH]]), and no rating in the infobox is technically correct but also not ideal when an accepted rating exists.

:Hi, @[[User:Departure–|Departure–]]! I've added in {{para|unofficial}}, which shows up exactly as specified here. You can find more information at [[Template:Infobox weather event/Tornado/doc]]. If you'd like to instead have this appear as it does in [[1925 Tri-State tornado]] (<code>Unofficial EF5 tornado</code>), please feel free to tell me. <span style="background:#ffff55">'''''[[User:Chlod|Chlod]]'''''</span>&nbsp;<small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">([[User talk:Chlod|say&nbsp;hi!]])</small> 21:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
