Copper

Why isn't there a parameter for copper? Sasata (talk) 19:52, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't know the answer either, but there is also missing the parameter for fluoride and selenium. --Götz (talk) 20:34, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Zefr and I recently encountered this as well. We even tried manually entering in Copper on the kiwifruit page to no avail. Who is responsible for making/editing the nutritional box infocode? I agree that this needs to be redone to allow for other essential micronutrients such as copper and selenium to be displayed. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 18:39, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Note that I had formatted the opt info incorrectly, but the value still does not compute %DV at kiwifruit. --Zefr (talk) 18:47, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

As I mentioned here, the %DV isn't coded for the |optX= parameters. That would require a change in how the template operates. Primefac (talk) 18:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

So, who's responsible for that? It's unclear to me who made this template and is responsible for any revisions or updates to it. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 20:23, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Anyone who knows what they're doing, I suppose. The template is only semi-protected, but I'd rather not see just anyone fiddling about with the code. I'm happy to make any uncontroversial changes, so feel free to list out specifically what you would like changed/amended/added/etc and I'll see what I can do. Primefac (talk) 01:52, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I'd like the template to either auto-populate other essential micronutrients so the listed profiles are more comprehensive (e.g., copper and selenium) or be able to manually add those in on the tables. I didn't tinker with the template precisely because I don't know how to do it without messing it up so I'll defer that to people who are more familiar with it such as yourself. I don't think there's any controversy about simply having a more comprehensive list of essential micronutrients displayed in the nutrition tables. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 03:00, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I agree that is the objective and only copper and selenium calculated to %DV are needed in the template. --Zefr (talk) 03:06, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

So...anyone who understands how to fix this template willing to assist with making these revisions? TylerDurden8823 (talk) 04:00, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

From the discussion above, I assumed Primefac was going to work on the template to enable copper and selenium to be included in the standard infobox. What is the process, timeline and solution? --Zefr (talk) 14:23, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+While I have a background in and am familiar with the subject material, looking up the things that you want changing is not high on my priority list. If you tell me what you want changed and how you want it changed, and it is unlikely to be contentious, I'm happy to make the change. For example, "Copper should be included in the metals, RDA is X mg". Primefac (talk) 19:17, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Copper should be included in the metals, RDA is 2 mg. Selenium should be included in the metals, RDA is 70 ug. Source for reference DV amounts. Thanks for the help. --Zefr (talk) 19:38, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

 Done. Copper is |copper_mg= and selenium is |selenium_ug=. Primefac (talk) 19:58, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Needs to be collapsible

The template clearly has a useful function but it can take up a very large amount of screen space, and in particular it occupies a great length on the right hand side, making image, diagram and table placement difficult. It would be very helpful if the template could have a parameter to allow it to be collapsed where necessary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:10, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Column Formatting

Upon looking at the column, I noticed that at first it was unclear what the percentages on the right were meant to show. At first it seemed that these percentages were showing the percentage mass of each vitamin or mineral for the nutritional value per 100 grams of breadfruit. However, when I saw the second note on the bottom of the table, it became clearer that these percentages are percentages of daily value. I was wondering if that note on the bottom could be moved to the top to be directly on top of the percentage column, and the heading "nutritional value per 100g" be formatting to be directly above the first column. JeanJanvier (talk) 17:19, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

I've tweaked the "Vitamins" header so that it shows the quantity and "%DV" labels which point to the notice about the daily values. Primefac (talk) 18:26, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Unnecessary parenthesis

At the moment the column headers read as follows: Qty (%DV)⁺ and the daily values are all parenthetical, which I think is unnecessary, and the Minerals and Other constituents lack their own headers. Two other minor issues are that "Qty" is unnecessarily abbreviated and that headers are normally bolded. I'd like to suggest that all 3 sections are given column headers, which should read: Quantity %DV⁺, and that we drop the parentheses on the daily values.

Reporting vitamin E

Per the article for E and sources like NIH (https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminE-HealthProfessional/), the international unit measure of vitamin E seems to only use alpha-tocopherol and ignore other forms. Should some other values be added in so things like soybean oil looks... good?

The NIH page mentions that FDA now recommends labelling in mg ?-tocopherol, but the regulation itself (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27236870/) asserts that only the ?-tocopherol form has activity (page 33913, and 79 FR 11879 at 11933). D'oh. Artoria2e5 contrib 15:04, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

I'll be honest, I'm note really sure what you're wanting. Soybean oil doesn't use this template, and regardless if the values end up changing due to an FDA change, we'll just change the individual articles. Primefac (talk) 20:38, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
