Description of suggested change: I'd like to propose adding some new(ish) categories listed by Heritage New Zealand. These categories are for places of major cultural significance to Māori, and larger areas of historic significance.

While we're at it, the Historic Places Trust has renamed themselves to be Heritage New Zealand, and there are some text-codes that do not map properly to colour-codes. For example, the colour page has entries for NEW ZEALAND HISTORIC PLACES TRUST CATEGORY I, etc, but is not included in the text list. Similarly, NZ CATEGORY 1 is listed in the text but not the colour.

New categories:

• Wāhi Tapu and Wāhi Tapu Areas have 109 and 78 entries respectively.
• Wāhi Tūpuna has 23 entries.
• Historic Areas has 132 entries.

Proposed change to template code:

The supported designations docs would then need to be updated like so:

Notes:

• I have included the NEW ZEALAND HISTORIC PLACES TRUST callname prefix for backwards compatibility, but I think we should treat these as deprecated and therefore not include them in the documentation.
• Most people are not familiar with how to type macrons, and while I think it would technically be ok to include macros in the callnames, I've opted to keep those ASCII as per the rest of the list. Macrons will be present in the rendered template.
• There is one additional Heritage New Zealand category: National Historic Landmark. There is only one of these however; the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Therefore I have not included it because that does not even have its own article (yet). Perhaps if a second one is ever added, we should add it to this template.

Propose adding Scenic Sites (South Korea) as a designation. It meets all the criteria. 1. Reasonable number of sites Y 2. list article about it above ext official website listing all the entries Y, 3. specific natural and man-made locations within South Korea Y

For color, I'll use the same color that other South Korean classifications use. These classifications do not overlap with each other so there shouldn't be an issue; i.e. the govt does not classify a single thing under multiple labels.

Change Template:Designation/colour by adding the following lines of text below |NATIONAL TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA:

|SCENIC SITES OF SOUTH KOREA
|SCENIC SITES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA                                 = #A8BDEC

Description of suggested change: Hello. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Non-English terms, I believe it would be appropriate to make use of Template:Lang with non-English designation titles, namely the national designations of France, the Netherlands, and Romania, and the provincial designation for Quebec.

Diff: Monument historique → Monument historique; Rijksmonument → Rijksmonument; Monument istoric → Monument istoric; Patrimoine culturel du Québec → Patrimoine culturel du Québec
