At the current version of this template, I have serious concerns on what the template is covering as a general Karnataka related template. The entire template concentrates mainly on places (Cities, Taluks and Districts). Except the different topics list in the top, the entire template is Geography oriented. Karnataka articles have all types of topics, and this general template should be re-written such that it covers major aspects of different topics.
Let me put it this way.
Think how this template would suit articles such as Rajkumar, Kuvempu, Anil Kumble? More examples like Kasuti, Maddur Vada, Bisi Bele Bath.
Some ideas , some brainstorming is required now to re-write. Any thoughts? - KNM Talk 15:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-04-27T15:13:00.000Z","author":"KNM","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-KNM-2007-04-27T15:13:00.000Z-Re-write_proposal","replies":[]}}-->
Also, the current template, with the necessary modifications, can be considered moving into {{Geography of Karnataka}}. But lets discuss that also before taking any actions. - KNM Talk 15:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-04-27T15:14:00.000Z","author":"KNM","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-KNM-2007-04-27T15:14:00.000Z-Re-write_proposal","replies":[]}}-->
Yup, I too feel the same. Moreover, the current template looks huge and in some cases occupies space more than the article itself. IMO, even in the current template, the list of taluks is an unwanted addition. I suggest we should create a list of categories and add important articles related to the category. Some suggestions:
Can we include Tourism? Tourism - Beaches | Dams | Temples | Forts | National Parks
Looking good so far. You guys know best. Please dont forget Western Chalukyas. They tend to get hidden under Chalukyas.

I have made further modifications to the template to incorporate some of the comments mentioned above. I did not want to replace the original template without a review and hence I have created it temporarily here. Kindly comment on whether it is proper, in which case we can move it as the actual template. By the way I am not able to create more than seven rows in the template. Any row starting with the caption 'title8' and beyond is ignored. Is that a limitation? -- Amarrg 09:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-05-02T09:14:00.000Z","author":"Amarrg","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Amarrg-2007-05-02T09:14:00.000Z-Further_modifications","replies":[]}}-->
Category Waterfalls seems appropriate under Tourism section rather than Geography section. What do you people think? Also can we add Literature section? I believe we have handful of articles for that section.

This template is being used in many pages and hence it is important that some amount of consensus is evolved before modifying or adding to it.
This is a sub caste among Brahmins and a non-registered user had added this to the template. Please add below whether you want to support or oppose this addition -- Amarrg 17:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-06-04T17:16:00.000Z","author":"Amarrg","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Amarrg-2007-06-04T17:16:00.000Z-Shivalli_Brahmin","replies":["c-Sarvagnya-2007-06-04T17:30:00.000Z-Amarrg-2007-06-04T17:16:00.000Z"]}}-->
We need to review some of the entries in the template to decide if it should be or not be there. I suggest that only those issues/topics that bring out Karnataka culture, history, literature, etc etc on a significant scale be added. Entries like Beary, Mogaveera are not heard anywhere outside Dakshin Kannada district. We need to be selective. Entries like these are better of in local district templates.Dineshkannambadi 17:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-06-04T17:59:00.000Z","author":"Dineshkannambadi","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dineshkannambadi-2007-06-04T17:59:00.000Z-Discuss","replies":["c-Amarrg-2007-06-05T03:51:00.000Z-Dineshkannambadi-2007-06-04T17:59:00.000Z"]}}-->

You see names of ethnicities, castes? I suggest we follow the example of Template:Andhra_Pradesh or Template:Tamil_Nadu

Perhaps we need to include "Mayurasharma", "Vishnuvardhana", "Vikramaditya VI" in this list, or better yet create a separate section for Kings and one for the greatest poets. How does that sound.Dineshkannambadi 00:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-10-07T00:46:00.000Z","author":"Dineshkannambadi","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dineshkannambadi-2007-10-07T00:46:00.000Z-History","replies":[]}}-->
Please include Geology under tourism since Geological Survey of India has named four sites in Karantaka as National Geological Monuments to encourage Geotourism. The four sites are: St. Mary's Islands, Karnataka for Columnar Basalts near Malpe, Udupi, Peninsular Gneiss, a Monument in Lalbagh, Bangalore, Pillow Lava, Maradihalli in Chitradurga District and Pyroclastic rocks in Peddapalli in Kolar District. --Nvvchar (talk) 10:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-02-28T10:49:00.000Z","author":"Nvvchar","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Nvvchar-2009-02-28T10:49:00.000Z-Geology","replies":[]}}-->
