GeneralProblems w/ Mineral and Locality pages

21st Jun 2017 20:24 UTCDonald B Peck Expert

Recently, I have added links to the mindat mineral species page and mindat locality page in my mineral catalog, so I have been looking at a lot of those pages to fill the fields in my database. I have noted a large number of mineral species pages where either no photos printed at the top or maybe one printed and the others did not. They all show the small link icon in the top left corner.


Also, when searching for the locality page (using the Search at the bottom of any page), I am not quite sure where it is going to go. Searching for "Iron County, Missouri" got me "Iran". That is just one example, but results seem to vary widely.


I hope this is just a temporary anomaly.

Still having the same problem. And the Locality Search at the bottom of each page often does not find the site specified (even though it exists) and returns a map covered with those numbered "blossoms" and a long list of irrelevant sites.

You need to search for Iron Co., Missouri not County as that's how we refer to it on mindat.
