Hi, I’ve been cleaning up articles relating to Chongqing Rail Transit, and I’d like to request to convert all “branch” in the anchor to lowercase. Thanks!

Changing the Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong line links to the "V/Line rail service" pages rather than the "railway line" pages. In particular, Bendigo has an article discussing the track on the "railway line" page, and one on the actual service on the "V/Line rail service" page. – Pizza1016 (talk &#124; contribs) 01:58, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Lua
To page watchers, note that much of this template can now be Lua-ified through Module:Adjacent stations (an S-line successor). I've updated rail color box with extra options for this template. Notifying, since you wrote Module:Rail transport colors. Jc86035 (talk) 17:28, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

If an icon function were added to the module then the templates based on the module would be able to replicate almost all of the functionality, although a lot of module subpages would need to be filled out. Jc86035 (talk) 17:38, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping. If memory serves, there was a hugely underwhelming response to the last proposal to Luafy this template.  Better luck this time.
 * —Trappist the monk (talk) 21:41, 31 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The trouble is that the number of Lua coders is, well, um, very low. Do you really want to take on the additional maintenance responsibility? Useddenim (talk) 04:03, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * If you can understand most of the code in Module:Adjacent stations/MTR without reading the documentation (which is unfinished anyway), then there shouldn't be much for more experienced coders to maintain since the module is basically complete other than the aforementioned icon function. I didn't write the module by myself (it was created by ), and given that such a module necessitated subpages containing data tables it wouldn't have made sense not to replace the other functions that the S-line templates perform as well. Jc86035 (talk) 05:37, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Rail icon can now do this, although it's a bit limited right now since almost all the data is still in this template. Jc86035 (talk) 17:36, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

In the Portland section, replace file:TriMet logo simplified.svg with file:TriMet icon.svg as it is the correct version of the logo. CouvGeek (talk) 00:56, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Before the change can be made, it must be established who, when and why the TriMet logo was changed from WP:NFCC., you can't just arbitrarily upload a file and claim that it is PD. Useddenim (talk) 03:29, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The main TriMet logo is PD and on commons. I merely took the icon out and uploaded as its own. Ask the uploader there for their determinations on why they considered it PD. There's a dupe of the same logo (although with slightly different colors) uploaded by someone from dewiki on commons, so obviously I am not the only one who thinks it's PD. Many files that were originally tagged as non-free are later converted to PD since they are too simple to be copyrighted to have non-free tags. I've had similar changes approved twice on a similar template by different admins template editors without resistance, so I am requesting this to be reconsidered.

Help with Baku Metro?

 * … because someone couldn't be bothered to fix a small typo. It's now corrected. Useddenim (talk) 00:14, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * No,, it is you who couldn't be bothered. is what you did, and that mess was propagated to a large number of pages; you should not be making typos in highly-used templates. When there is widespread disruption, a quick revert is much more effective than wasting time trying to trace through the template code. You should have spotted it before you put it live, by putting the proposed change into the sandbox (where I see no evidence of the proposed amendment) and verifying its operation at the testcases (where I see no evidence that the proposed amendment was verified) before putting the change live. This is all covered by WP:TPE and WP:TESTCASES.
 * Now, you have three choices as to what should be done next:
 * You file a request at WP:RFPP asking for Template:Rail-interchange to be raised from template-protected to fully-protected
 * I take away your template editor privilege, in accordance with the last sentence of WP:TPE(or you make a corresponding request at WP:PERM/TE)
 * You promise to thoroughly test all proposed changes in future
 * Which would you prefer? -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 20:23, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

 * See WP:TESTCASES.

Please remove in-template documentation, and add  (= the basic way of adding documentation). Current Template:Rail-interchange/doc has list as is in the parent template now (so no visible changes when subpage is used). Reasonable: when doc is outside, it is easier to maintain & update. DePiep (talk) 07:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Documentation revised, but not exactly as requested. (Note that this editor most of Template:Rail-interchange/doc just before making this request.) Useddenim (talk) 13:13, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Because the country list was repeated (see code ). You know that because you deleted one of them too: . What are you trying to say?
 * BTW, current construct is nonsensical:

Why so? A simple  would do. For example, the editlinks are missing from the documentation. Documentation should not be part of the edit restriction. -DePiep (talk) 17:25, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * That's debatable. Given your past history of disruptive edits and questionable BSicon design, I'm not sure that you should be making changes to the documentation. Useddenim (talk) 18:05, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Arh, so this kept you occupied for six years to the day? Better use that energy to improve edits. Such as: why the weird /doc construct?, and clarify why you attack me for removing a redundant list while you did the same to the other list? -DePiep (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the weird structure is probably from my 2015 attempt to prevent the parser limits from being reached by the transclusion of the documentation sub-pages. The structure obviously became redundant when the full list was no longer shown, but no one seems to have minded in the intervening years. Jc86035 (talk) 19:11, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I see, a good solution -- back then. Leaves open the question why is was not removed today by Useddenim, as was exactly what I requested/proposed. Instead, I got a jab. -DePiep (talk) 19:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * You seem to be ignoring the fact that you in your attempt to remove a “duplicate” list that actually only displayed once. Useddenim (talk) 20:44, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * ... and then create one good /documentation page combining doc data from both pages. Not that difficult. Where do I ignore that? If only you had performed my simple request, I could have made the doc page OK (really bad code now). Anyway, you are wrong wrt "ignoring", and assuming BF. And oh, could you retract your six-year old frustration in PA form? Thanks. -DePiep (talk) 20:54, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how blanking most of a page is not bad faith editing; but nonetheless, I've changed the  call. Useddenim (talk) 22:02, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. -DePiep (talk) 22:12, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Another badly-argued revert
this edit(-summmary) is sloppy argued. Good documentation leads to the right detail asap -- which is what the additions did. On top of this, "poorly formatted" is an unfounded judgement (more like: "I would have done it differently", ie so what). I suggest strongly to revert (=add again). In general, please slow down on too early judgements, and try to consider the background of an edit. -DePiep (talk) 13:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

The rail-interchange symbol currently used for Miami Metrorail (rapid transit) is also used by Metromover (people mover) and Metrobus, all of which are run by Miami-Dade Transit.
