Hawaii Time Zone

Hawaii does not observe Daylight Savings Time, yet Hawaii is in the | timezone1_DST parameter, resulting in HADT appearing in the DST line on pages such as Kauai County, Hawaii, despite the fact that DST is not observed there. I think that Hawaii should be removed from here and released with something like Aleutian as only settlements in the Aleutian Islands use HADT.

On second thought, change

[[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]

to

{{#ifeq:{{{state}}}|Hawaii||[[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]}}

Parameters for Government section

The government subsection of the infobox only has the one leader parameter, so perhaps a second parameter for legislative bodies (such as county councils, as a fair few have their own articles) and types of government would work well to keep it from looking too small and out of place.

Template-protected edit request on 19 January 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone is split between Hawaii and Alaska. Alaska observes daylight saving time, but Hawaii does not. Thus, please change:

Hawaii = [[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]

to

Hawaii = {{#ifeq:{{{state}}}|Hawaii||[[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone|HADT]]}}

and please add

| Hawaii = {{#ifeq:{{{state}}}|Hawaii||−9}}

below

| Alaska = −8

in the two places where each occurs. Kk.urban (talk) 20:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replace the map

Hi all, is there a way to replace the map using this template to put an interactive map in the place of the automatic static maps? See the counties of California such as Los Angeles County, California which have an interactive map but use Template:Infobox settlement instead of this template. If this is not possible, it would be nice if someone could edit this template to make it possible to replace the automatic map with a map of the editor's choosing. — RAGentry (talk) (contributions) 18:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Location within the state" map broken?

I noticed this when looking at several Texas counties, and spot checked a couple of other counties in other states, which had the same problem. The county shows up in red, but I'm assuming the outline of the state should be there as well, and it's not. I've tried this on Chrome and Firefox on MacOS, and Safari on iPhone.
