Article title[edit]

@Titus Gold, Looking at the multiple page moves, I assume the current title is descriptive. But surely "North-South Wales" is the more common word order?[1] [2] never seen "Wales" come before "North/South", its North/north Wales not Wales North like a railway station. :) Diolch! Thanks for the article, I may make a map for this in the future. Plus considering it is obvious that this does not exist unfortunately, "proposed" could be removed, but it's fine having it.

@DankJae Happy for you to make those sensible change there. No problem for making it. Titus Gold (talk) 02:12, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing proposed would've needed a tech request, so just changed the word order. Dank Jae 02:25, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DankJae: The title North–South Wales railway, with an en dash following MOS:ENBETWEEN, is available, so the article could be moved there and the target of the redirect North-South Wales railway changed to it. Ham II (talk) 19:31, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ham II, true, and per MOS:ENBETWEEN this proposal is not a formal name, so would need an en dash. Will do! Thanks Dank Jae 19:35, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Updates needed[edit]

Please add a reference to these in the article. Thanks.
