Salary

What's the strange field "salary"? In what country? In what time? Who have researched it? I propose to delete it. Infovarius (talk) 16:34, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

delete it on sight, salary is a term that depends upon many many factors around the globe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.230.93.201 (talk) 19:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Gone. Rich Farmbrough, 00:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC).

It's come back now. Though it's "average_salary" rather than just "salary". Just what I thought - just how can such a field be meaningful in a worldwide encyclopedia? Where can anybody find the global mean salary for a given occupation, anyway? — Smjg (talk) 22:00, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I've just spotted it on Endocrinology, in which it leapt out at me as well as a glaringly odd thing to say. (The "education required" is pretty US-specific as well, but giving "some kind of doctorate" is at least vaguely meaningful to a reader).

The template was tidied up in May and the commented-out salary section was reinstated; I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but per comments above I've commented it out again for the time being. Shimgray | talk | 10:55, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

TypeBold text

On the template, I'm getting this (roughly; it's not formatted as it is in the template):

Occupation
Names architect
TypeBold text profession
Activity sectors real estate development

What I'm pointing out is the "Bold text" after "Type." I tried to fix this a couple times (don't worry, I only previewed it (never actually saved it)), but I couldn't seem to get rid of the "Bold text." What's the deal?

Stray text

Maybe it's related to the recent upgrade, but this template is showing stray characters in some articles. For example: Dentistry and Plumber, which have an "M" under the photos and "Np" and "Nl" lower down. Any dieas on how to fix it?   Will Beback  talk  02:40, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Another strange looking one: Barber. There are odd white spaces and the text is centered oddly.   Will Beback  talk  02:47, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

It was vandalism. While fixing that I also remvoed the word "profession", which is inappropriate for many occupations.   Will Beback  talk  02:52, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Hairdresser, Hair Stylist

Occupation
Names	Barber, hairdresser
Occupation type	Vocation
Description
Fields of employment	Barbershops, hair salons, hairdressing salons

There's still something wrong - much of the text isn't displaying.   Will Beback  talk  02:57, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Adding standardized job codes (SOC for the US)

I've started integrating standardized job codes to Wikidata, and I've made a proposal for the French system, the Canadian system, the US system and the international system codes. The idea is to be able to use them in Templates and Infobox, for others to find a Wikipedia page about an occupation in a standardized way, and possibly to take advantage of statistics produced by the various national and international organisations.

• Feel free to comment and add new topics, and generally join the effort :-)

Edit template-protected

Please somehow bold the subheading {{{type}}}. As can be seen at Judge in the source code I had to stipulate type = '''[[Profession]]''' to get it bold so that the sub-heading matches the others.

Not sure how template code works but either the data5 should be heading5 or my suggestion is change:

| data5 = {{{type|}}}

to

| data5 = '''{{{type|}}}'''

@Waddie96:  Partly done: "Type" is not a header, and is not supposed to be bold. However, it shouldn't be centered either -- that is due to a typo that I have now fixed. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht: Ah, perfect, did not notice that, thanks – Waddie96 (talk) 21:26, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
