I removed the Empire State Building from this template because it doens't really fit with the supertall template theme. Also, there are lots of buildings over 1000 feet, including all of these buildings: Category:Skyscrapers_over_350_meters and most of these Category:Skyscrapers between 300 and 349 meters. --Quasipalm19:40, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Grr. I made an edit before, I guess it didn't work. Anyway, not including radio masts, there are only about twenty supertalls over 1000 feet:

Isn't it a bit strange to include buildings that will most likely never be built with buildings that are real or under construction?

I removed the Mars Tension-leg Platform from this list because it once described "proposed" structures. The description has changed and I am removing it again because it still does not fall within the decription. It is not "self-supporting".

Could some editor who knows more about these structures than I sort them in some sensible manner, e.g. by status (built or proposed), and within these categories by height?

I'd support that. When I started watching this template some months back it was less than half the length it is now.

The following supertall structures have to be added to the list. I would do it, if I know how I can.
For these are also two categories to be added. These categories are bridges and electricity pylons
But they should be missed in no case.

{{supertall proposed skyscrapers}}. I'm thinking I might also split off the antennas, after which the remaining groups in this template would each be too small to be worth splitting off into a template of its own. That'd leave this template as a reasonably-sized little "catch-all" for the miscellaneous structures that don't fit neatly into other classifications.

As Sneaky Oviraptor said above, the "Antennas" section is highly innacurate. For one, there are towers there that do indeed have communications equipment on them, but there are also guyed masts such as the KVLY-TV mast. If guyed masts are included, then every single mast over 300 metres in the world will have to be added to this template. One look at the list of tallest structures in the world tells us that this will require one huge template. As above discussions have led to, there are other templates such as Template:Supertall observation and communication towers - which is basically the "antennas" section of this template (also innacurate as not all masts are included). --timsdad(talk)04:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-28T04:33:00.000Z","author":"Timsdad","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Timsdad-2009-11-28T04:33:00.000Z-Serious_cleanup","replies":[]}}-->
I have added all of the supertall freestanding towers from the list of tallest towers in the world, eliminating the need for the other template linked above, which I have created a discussion for here if anybody wants to join.
