Is there a way to suppress the “Amusement rides by name” category? I would not consider this subject an amusement ride by any means. —Another Believer _(Talk) 19:44, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
I am not sure how to get rid of it as it doesn’t appear in the source for the page, yet I can still see it in the article.Ambo100 (talk) 00:52, 6 January 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Issue is the type of infobox used. Template:Infobox artifact is for amusement park rides or attractions. I’ve put in the field to mark it as not a ride, but that defaults it to putting it in the ‘amusement park attraction’ category.

@Alexis Jazz: I went back & found the location again. Turns out it’s not Ashworth, it’s several blocks further east, NE 175th St & 8th Ave NE. The Coke machine outside the house on the NW corner of the intersection is visible on Google Street View, although not close enough to see the “Mystery” buttons. (Position yourself in 8th Avenue looking west up the lot’s driveway, it’s only visible from one spot that’s 3 clicks north of the place in the middle of the intersection where you get 4 arrows. If you drag the little yellow guy onto the crosswalk you should be in the right spot.) I took some closer…
