Please see discussion at Template talk:Chem molar mass#Non-standard molar mass notation that is about the display of part of the Chembox. DMacks (talk) 04:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Ammonium hexacyanoferrate(II), {{Chembox Properties}} has two values for the "N" parameter, which might be chemically correct, but the template returns an error:

Warning: Ammonium hexacyanoferrate(II) is calling Template:Chembox Properties with more than one value for the "N" parameter. Only the last value provided will be used.

Has it been applied incorrectly? —GoldRingChip 16:53, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Passing more than one N parameter is not correct in this context, per the template's docs and technical meaning of this set of fields. I fixed the parameters (there was also another mistake). DMacks (talk) 16:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. —GoldRingChip 17:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template is generating an extra <p> element above the lead section at Carbon dioxide containing TemplateStyles. I've no idea how you might fix that. Hairy Dude (talk) 10:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
