In this edit, User:Brycehughes removed the strikethrough on the grounds that it is ugly and makes the navbox hard to read. (Much discussion at User_talk:Brycehughes#Template:Underground laboratories.) I think it's a bit ugly, but neatly and compactly expresses "not any more".
Some options that were discussed:
But basically, this is an aesthetic judgement, not something that can be decided conclusively. I put it in there originally, so obviously I like it that way, but I don't own the template. So additional opinions are solicited. (Since I don't think this template or talk page gets a lot of traffic, a WP:3O request will be submitted.)
I do request that it anyone is inspired to WP:Be bold and make a change, they change the documentation to match. 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 06:26, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

The strike is confusing. Since Kolar is no longer an underground laboratory it should not be included on the template. Consider if there may be a need for a list of former underground laboratories. Atsme☯ Consult 17:55, 4 May 2015 (UTC) |
Interesting! I wasn't expecting that to be the preferred option. That wouldn't be a very interesting list, as Kolar is the only underground laboratory of any note that's been closed. (It's actually barely a laboratory, but was what passed for one in its day.) I'll allow a few more days for others to chime in, then make the edit. 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 01:30, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
In this edit, User:Brycehughes simplified " LSM/ Fréjus" to just " LSM". (The first half used to be a red link, but Brycehughes recently created a Modane Underground Laboratory article.) I went and changed it back to LSM/Fréjus. There was a lot of discussion.
I'm really torn. Arguments for including Fréjus:
Arguments for using "LSM" only:
That last point is a good one, and has me hanging in the balance. Other opinions are very much requested! 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 06:26, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

The argument for retaining Fréjus is convincing. Retain LSM/Fréjus Atsme☯ Consult 17:59, 4 May 2015 (UTC) |
Thank you. This is the current situation, so no action is required. If anyone else would like to chime in on the subject, it's not permanently closed. 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 01:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
I saw it in the article for Kimballton, Virginia and it has a web site: http://www.phys.vt.edu/~kimballton/. Apparently it has 1450 mwe shielding. It's located in a working limestone mine, which leaves nice clean dry chambers behind, and has drive-in access. The facility was very cheap ($200K); it mostly consisted of installing a dust-proof building inside some pre-existing open space.
But it doesn't have an article yet. 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 15:49, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
