:Wikipedia is not a directory, per [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY]]. In general I feel the absolute maximum number of people should be included in community infoboxes should be 1 or 2 top people max. For example, for cities (yeah I know this isn't a county), I feel that maybe the Mayor and City Manager is the most that should ever be included, because of [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY]], so the same for counties too, only the top 1 or 2 people of power. • [[User:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;">Sbmeirow</span>]] • [[User talk:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;White;">Talk</span>]] • 23:48, 30 November 2023 (UTC) |

District Attorney
Should we include the District Attorney of a county in the infobox? I feel it may be useful. 2600:100C:A119:D49D:C449:8744:DADD:960A (talk) 00:56, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Probably not. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:25, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Leader(s)
Maybe I'm just misreading the template instructions, but it implies that you can put multiple leaders in the infobox without actually saying how to do it. For instance, if a county has a County Mayor and a Vice Mayor (or equivalent), it seems like you can only put one, in the template. Am I missing something? nf utvol (talk) 15:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Here are pages that use
|leader_title=. See Chester County, Pennsylvania, for an example of a place with multiple leaders and how the parameter is used. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
Template-protected edit request on 16 November 2023 - pass through "module" parameter to Template:Infobox settlement
 | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
{{Infobox settlement}} lets callers embed child infoboxes inside it using |module=; see WP:IEmbed. I'd like to be able to do the same with {{Infobox U.S. county}}. Could someone with template editing powers add the following, passing through the "module" parameter if present?

County executives and district attorneys
