Template talk:AUSinttop

km, Mile
The km and Mile column headings are not consistent - see WT:Manual of Style/Road junction lists. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:01, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Why does template have LGA?
Why does the template have LGA? It's irrelevant in Australia. To take an example in Adelaide, No one says, "I'm travelling from Marion council area to Onkaparinga council area". They say something like, "I'm travelling from Darlington to Noarlunga" (which are two Adelaide suburbs). And the address of a location in Australia never includes the local council. It's always: (1) road, (2) suburb/city, (3) state (and optional postcode). Including the local council makes no sense. So why is it there, other than to clutter the table? Now I know I can turn it off, but it seems to me we don't need it at all. So why not remove it? Adpete (talk) 10:45, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Suggest we resolve this discussion by a vote
Hi all, I'm a member of WP:WikiProject Australian Roads and an avid editor to highways and motorways, especially in NSW and ACT. This debate could go back and forth forever. In order to bring the matter to conclusion in a timely manner, I suggest that Adpete succinctly propose the arguments in favour of removing the LGA from MOS/Rjl Template:AUSinttop in a format similar to Template:Merge to. Then each person may respond in the format of either Support or Oppose and state the reasons for their case. After say, ten days (given the time of year when many people are on breaks), there should be a count of the for and against votes and then a decision made on whether we include LGAs or remove them. Finally, the best place for this vote to occur is here and not at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Road junction lists or at Talk:WP Australian Roads, where there is extensive discussion on the subject. That's my comments for the time being. Rangasyd (talk) 09:35, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a democracy. We simply don't have votes like this. Having a discussion to build consensus is appropriate, needed I say, but it's not a simple count of supports/opposes. -happy5214 19:12, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
