A few suggestions and questions.

  • What does |letname= mean? Couldn't figure out what the "let" part was.
    • I'd split this into two. |above= which should default to {{PAGENAME}} with an optional |name=
  • Either |subheader= or |label1= should be |native_name= so the text can be wrapped in language templates.
  • |subheader= uses sem but Hebrew should use he so hardcoding that isn't the best option.
  • At Kislev you duplicate the value of |previouslink= and |previousletter=. I think ← {{{previous_month|}}} would work better.
  • |filename= typically is just called |image=. Gonnym (talk) 21:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Primefac? Any comments? I've created a version at Template:Infobox month/sandbox. Gonnym (talk) 10:38, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
I converted the individual templates into infoboxes by request, and the merge was literally doing the least amount of work for the most payout (i.e. nothing needs to be changed on the articles). If you think that this new template needs to be merged and things updated, I have no issue with that (and yes, I see your points on various things and largely agree with them, again I was trying to minimise the amount of article-space edits needed when I merged them).

Ah ok. Then I'll sync the sandbox and update usages. Thanks! Gonnym (talk) 10:43, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
