This template (Template talk:Infobox artifact) was considered for deletion on 2012 September 9. The result of the discussion was "keep".

Registration, ID

What are the differences between |registration= and |id= (the template code for the former has an HTML comment, "may be distinct from id"), and how do they relate to |accession= in {{Infobox artwork}}? Could someone update the documentation to clarify, please? Are they both used? Could they be merged, and the names used by the two templates standardised?

Map

Is the point of the "map" parameter supposed to be used for artifacts that are still in situ? Otherwise, for objects that have been removed to a museum, it's unclear whether "A map of the location of the artefact" refers to the artifact's location as found, or its current location within a museum. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:53, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Image2 parameters

Is there a way to add alt text, or a caption, to a second image? I am trying to do so with the Pliezhausen brooch, but only get an error message. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:43, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was also wondering this, as the Amphora article currently uses its main infobox caption to include an awkward "Below:", with a carriage return. An alt2 was added at some point, but no caption2, so I've added and documented the latter. --Belbury (talk) 13:11, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Parameter spelling

The parameter "Civilization" is supposed to allow the British spelling ie "Civilisation" except that even after changing it for the article: Sueno's Stone, it still displays with "z". Can someone fix this? --Bill Reid | (talk) 17:09, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit to allow infobox to be embedded

Hello! I'm working on an article that would benefit from {{Infobox artifact}} being expanded so that it can be embeded with a module parameter in {{infobox artwork}} properly. If someone would be kind enough to make this possible through editing the template, I would be very grateful. Thanks, Tyrone Madera (talk) 17:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Type

I've added an optional |type= parameter. See, for example, the template on Lady of Elche. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:31, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Provenance"

Straight forward request for an added "Provenance" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HiddenHistoryPedia (talk • contribs) 22:19, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"long" vs "width"

This template has "width" and then it has "long". Is there any good reason this should not be "length" instead of "long"? In common english, it's "length" and "width", vs "long" and "wide". The "size" field may be adequately suited for most pages using this template, but taking e.g. Pesse canoe, length and width seem altogether more appropriate than "size".
