OMNY stations
Please do not add the listing of OMNY stations, as it violates our guideline that Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal. The MTA has its own list of OMNY-equipped stations on its website. It is not appropriate to add this information here, as Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Thank you. epicgenius (talk) 00:47, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

By the way, I do appreciate your edits. I am going to replace this section with a more general "rollout timeline" section instead so it doesn't violate guidelines. epicgenius (talk) 00:48, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Would it violate the policy if I were to add a point-of-information on individual stations stops (ie: Grand Central, Times Square, etc) noting whether or not the subway station was OMNY compatible?


 * , it would not, but this will become unnecessary by the end of the year when all stations have OMNY. That's why this information has not been added yet. I will edit the template Infobox New York City Subway station to allow it to display whether it is OMNY compatible. I understand you have spent a lot of time on creating the OMNY table, so I will find a guideline-compliant way to restore the information. epicgenius (talk) 01:07, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, don't start adding the information just yet. I may have find a much easier way to display OMNY capability that only requires editing one page. epicgenius (talk) 01:14, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I have finished adding all of this information into the template. Please see the articles for Times Square–42nd Street/Port Authority Bus Terminal station or Tompkinsville station for examples. Thanks again for the listing, even though it was against the guideline. epicgenius (talk) 01:52, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
