MRT Route Map
Hi, just wibdrring if you were plannibg on creating a full diagrammatic map if the Hong Kong MRT based on your inset map if the Shan Tin to Central Link? Also, you may want to update your Moscow Metro map, as the Moscow Monorail and Little Belt Railway have been assigned route numbers, 13 and 14, respectively.

Regarding File:West Coast Main Line service pattern diagram.svg
(crossposted from your Commons talk page) I notice you redrew the above map recently. Unfortunately the map it was based on has become out of date and the services described have changed considerably since 2010 when the original was drawn. The current normal weekday service (as of May 2015) is as follows:

Transpennine Express

 * (dep. 00 mins) Manchester Airport–Manchester Picc–Manchester Ox Rd–Wigan–Preston–Lancaster–Oxenholme–Penrith–Carlisle–Lockerbie–Glasgow/Haymarket–Edinburgh (alternating)
 * (limited service via Bolton and Chorley instead of via Wigan)

Module:Routemap
I noticed your post at WP:WikiProject Trains. Looks good! I had a very quick look at some of the code.

Typo: rigth

This does not do what is hoped: local i, j = next(rows), next(rows, i)--removing empty lines The right-hand side is evaluated before the assignment. The last i in that line is an undefined global variable and so is nil. The result is that i and j are identical.

Rather than doing the split then removing blank lines, you might consider something like the following: -- rows is the string argument (don't split it) local index = 0 for row in rows:gmatch('([^\n]*)\n?') do   row = mw.text.trim(row) if row ~= '' then index = index + 1 local keyword = q.isKeyword(row, index, rows) if type(keyword) ~= "string" then table.insert(tmp, row(row, nil, nil)) else table.insert(tmp, keyword) end end -- Perhaps omit the earlier "if rows == '' then..." test and use the following. -- The following checks that at least one row was non-blank. if index == 0 then return formaterror('parameter-missing') end end The gmatch works perfectly well with any UTF-8 text. Johnuniq (talk) 08:02, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry to disappoint you but that module was originally written by someone else who is already inactive and I just copy that from ru.wp. After few test in module:routemap/sandbox I still can't get it right in module talk:routemap/sandbox. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 08:52, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I did a quick edit. Let me know if there is a problem. Do you want me to convert the whole module to use tabs for indents which is standard these days? Johnuniq (talk) 09:35, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, please do. But there is another thing I want to know before making a request: Do I need to rewrite the "route" function (to make it a local function?) in order to incorporate template:routemap & /i18n into the same module because the templates feel unproductive with all those parser functions. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 09:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's very complex so I do not understand what the different pieces are doing. However, as you say, the template stuff should be moved into the module. If there is a lot of i18n text, it would be worth putting it in a submodule to keep the main module manageable. However, that might happen later, if needed. Is the module in use right now? How long has it been in use? I'm wondering if it is known to work with the wikitext currently in articles. If it is in use, working in the sandbox to move everything from the templates into the module would be best. I can look at it every now and then, if wanted. Johnuniq (talk) 10:51, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just finished localizing it today and no one besides you seems to be aware of/interested in the module yet, so currently the only article loads template:routemap is Crossrail which was revised by me. But working in the sandbox is indeed the best option. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 11:09, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Just realized the fix does cause error as you can see in Module talk:Routemap/sandbox. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 23:01, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oops, I wasn't paying attention and a quick look shows that some quite strange stuff is happening to the rows table that I missed. I'll think about that later and let you know my conclusion. I think I should fix the tabs in Module:Routemap (no other changes) and attribute the module to ru:Module:Routemap in the edit summary—let me know if that is a problem. Later, I'll fix the sandbox. Johnuniq (talk) 23:30, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I just saw WT:Route diagram template. That's a bit of a problem which reduces my enthusiasm. We'll see what else happens. Johnuniq (talk) 23:40, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand. I will try that myself in zh.wp sandbox in case you're interested again to avoid edit conflict. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 00:41, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I fixed my mistake. The module is more complicated than I realized, and I suppose a lot more would be needed to make it fully implement the template. I have not looked at the syntax—your comment that the new syntax has no limits indicates a change would be desirable, but a change would be disruptive. I have to attend to other things and might not get a chance to do more. Don't feel obliged to use what I did—it's trivial, but it is slightly more efficient. I really just wanted to let you know about the "does not do what is hoped" line that I mentioned above. It has the tabs fixed. Johnuniq (talk) 04:22, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

I applied your last change to zh.wp and also modified the p.route function to a local function (localroute) so it can be used by other functions as well. Apparently it works and I can start implementing the infobox template into the module in zh.wp by myself. I will go with the method of stacking "result" variable again if its code isn't too horrible to look at. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 05:00, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Good, thanks for letting me know. Johnuniq (talk) 05:32, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * (Not worth pinging...) I have finished adding the new function "infobox" to the zh.wp sandbox in order to substitute routemap which seems functional by far. Please tell me if you spot any weird code in the new function when you're in the mood. Thank you. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 15:52, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

RFC
Further to the above discussion, I have opened a RFC at Wikipedia talk:Route diagram template. As the use of the new system has been challenged and does not have consensus, no further RDTs should be changed to the new system until there is consensus for their use. Mjroots (talk) 17:43, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

BSto
IMO, Template:BSto doesn't look like a good candidate to convert to a module. It's pretty simple as templates go, and the module is anything but. The one use I do see would be if you planned to call this from another module. Is this the case? Jackmcbarn (talk) 15:07, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I wrote module:BSto, invoked in BSto/sandbox and BSsplit/sandbox and tested in my sandbox. The markup explosion still occurs without ! so the module is merely for little speed boost and reduce template expansion depth. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 13:08, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * OK; but I don't know what the point is, as the current templates seem to work fine in Routemap (as long as one remembers to use  instead of  ). Useddenim (talk) 17:50, 8 September 2015 (UTC) P.S.

Dynamic SVG
Hi Sameboat,

I found your contributions through File:London_Overground_map_sb.svg and am amazed with your excellent underground maps. I'm also touched by your willingness to teach your techniques on producing railway maps on your Commons user page &mdash; thank you!

I'm also passionate about SVGs, especially interactive and animated ones. I hope you wouldn't mind my pointing out that the click or hover effect on File:London_Overground_map_sb.svg didn't work for me on Firefox 38 or IE 11 on Windows 7: the cursor changed to a help cursor but hovering or clicking a line had no effect.

In case you might be interested, I discovered a reasonably cross-platform method which I've described on user:cmglee/Dynamic_SVG_for_Wikimedia_projects for which hover works in Chrome, Firefox and IE and clicking to select/deselect works in Chrome and Firefox. An SVG demonstrating this technique is File:Comparison_of_notable_bridges_SMIL.svg. I can help you to change File:London_Overground_map_sb.svg as you see fit.

Please let me know if you'd like to collaborate on developing dynamic SVGs in the future!

Cheers,

cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 23:37, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. The Overground map hover effext works for me on latest Firefox v43 (Win xp and 7). I always let Firefox update itself. On top of that, the hover-trigger to me is not really reliable because it can easily fail to trace the mouse position when you move the mouse too fast, this causes the line remaining blue-lit even when the mouse has been moved away. I read from some SVG blog some time ago that such issue can only be fixed via script which is not really an option. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 14:35, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. I found a bug in my Firefox: opening an SVG from a link breaks the hover interaction. Pressing reload doesn't fix it but selecting the address bar and pressing Enter does. It works now for me, though as you wrote, a line sometimes stays on the lit state after moving the mouse away. cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 23:42, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Train routes exceeding template include size
I made a list of articles which exceed the template include size, see here. It appears that several of them are due to complex railroad diagrams. For example, Alexandrovskaya railway station is in the hidden Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded, presumably because it uses Local train routes of Finlyandsky Rail Terminal. Is that something your routemap module would fix? If you feel like fixing them, please do so. Johnuniq (talk) 22:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. Did a quick search for article namespace containing "station" and "rail" in the category and fixed some route map templates. That should solve it. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 04:20, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that looks painful, but had a good result. If you have some time, there are some more:
 * Barauni–Gorakhpur, Raxaul and Jainagar lines
 * Barauni–Gorakhpur, Raxaul and Jainagar lines
 * Beighton Junction
 * Beighton Junction detail
 * Green Line (MBTA)
 * MBTA Green Line
 * Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway Beighton Branch
 * Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway Beighton Branch
 * Obelya Metro Station
 * Serdika Metro Station
 * Serdika II Metro Station
 * Sofia Metro Red line
 * Sofia Metro Blue line
 * Johnuniq (talk) 04:47, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * All done. Safesubst makes things easier even though some still requires manual rework. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 09:31, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

To reproduce a bug
Hello Sameboot,

I tried to reproduce the bug in libRSVG and uploaded File:Crea.sandbox.svg, now a simple path, with the coordinates:
 * ''  '' The control point of 3rd before last point is the same as the last point: 600,100 but there in no fault. Can you reproduce it?. Thanks in advance, -- Keysanger (talk) 12:44, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It is triggered by calling the auto-oriented middle marker in the problematic path. More importantly, you need to add more objects after the path, because the said bug does not prevent the path itself from rendering, specifically the bug prevents rendering of the middle markers of the path and subsequent objects. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 13:09, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, there is something I still don't understand. I added more objects after the path and arrows (middle-marks) to the file. But all objects remain visible. Can you give me a hint?. -- Keysanger (talk) 15:29, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually your path is not "glitchy" enough. Change  to   or   to  . You can check it in SVGcheck without uploading it on Commons for a quick temporary check, after entering "What it will render like" page, you can simply click F5/refresh-resend after you have edited and saved the SVG on your computer. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 01:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Right, the objects after the path disappeared. I see now that every time when y2=y the objects after the path disappear. I tested it with "C100,100 250,56 250,56", "C100,100 250,99 250,99" and "C100,100 250,100 250,100" . The three cases lead the objects to disappear. Thanks Sameboat, I know now where is the Bermuda Triangle of SVG. -- Keysanger (talk) 22:56, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Commons/Wikisource request.
You seem to be good at cleaning up SVG, Would you mind taking a look at these? c:Category:Traffic Signs Manual (UK) (Chapter 5) which are a set of diagrams for UK road markings..

The previous workflow on these seems to be a bit convoluted but seems to be as follows...

The original drawing looks to be Micrografix... -> Converted to EPS (possibly in Adobe Illustrator).

When I started on the EPS, I was using Inkscape.. Inkscape can't import EPS directly so it gets Ghostscript to make a PDF and it then imports the PDF. This imported PDF was then saved as SVG and in many cases cleaned up manually by making a font susbtitution and cleaning up some nodes.

However, it would be appreciated if someone with experience in recovering 'noisy' SVG files took a look at the digarams as well. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:18, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Module:Routemap
I've modified Module:Routemap and the four auxiliary templates (to, split, cvt, srws + module) to display (mostly) correctly in mobile view. (See 1, 2.) A few questions:
 * Should I/anyone take the time to fix BS-map as well?
 * Edokter suggested replacing the  tags (see 1), probably for HTML5 validity. How could this be implemented?
 * There are unfortunately still a few issues with mw-collapse (what with it being disabled in mobile), particularly that the usually-replaceable row, due to all the rows being shown, is below the first usually-collapsed row. Is it necessary to fix this?
 * How easy is it for the changes to be ported to the other wikis' versions without messing up all the language customisations and other things?

Route map size exceeded
I was looking at articles exceeding template include size and saw these: It appears stuff like Gloucester to Newport Line is way too big. That's unbelievably complex! Does your module fix that? Don't worry about it if it's too much hassle, but I thought I'd mention it. Those articles were not in the size-exceeded category a couple of weeks ago, so something has been added which took them past the limit. Johnuniq (talk) 11:34, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * History of the District line
 * Main Southern railway line, New South Wales
 * Newnham railway station
 * Thanks for notice, but I have to leave Medway watermills diagram as is because the #if: parser in the parameter is causing trouble to the module:routemap markup. The parser function is used as a switch so that the transcluding articles can hide a specific section of the diagram individually. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 14:14, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't see why edits or  are suddenly necessary? You claim "exceeds template size limit", but it wasn't exceeded before, so what's changed? -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:25, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * @Sameboat: Thanks, the first link in my above comment shows that those articles are now OK. Sorry about the difficulty.
 * I tried to work out why those articles popped up in the category but it's complex and I did not get anywhere. The category was empty a week or two ago. To see that there was a problem, consider History of the District line which transcludes District Line RDT. Viewing the html source of the current article and searching for "NewPP" shows:
 * Post‐expand include size: 680094/2097152 bytes
 * Template argument size: 4950/2097152 bytes
 * Using the template version before Sameboat's edit exceeds the expansion size. To see that, view the 28 February 2016 of the template, then edit it, then paste "History of the District line" at the bottom of the page under "Preview page with this template" in the "Page title" box, and click "Show preview". That shows a message at the top of the page:
 * and viewing the html source shows:
 * Post‐expand include size: 2091615/2097152 bytes
 * Template argument size: 979470/2097152 bytes
 * Johnuniq (talk) 01:25, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Since History of the District line had not been changed since 30 May 2016, and Template:District Line RDT not since 28 February 2016, that makes me suspect that the problem is not in District Line RDT but in one of the subtemplates used by that or by History of the District line that had changed in the last two weeks. These are:
 * Module:Color contrast - last edit 18 June by
 * Module:Hatnote - last edit 23 June by
 * Module:Hatnote list - last edit 25 June by Nihiltres
 * Module:Main - last edit 29 June by Nihiltres

 * Template:BSsplit - last edit 24 June by Jc86035
 * Template:BSto - last edit 24 June by Jc86035
 * Template:Rail-interchange - last edit 29 June by
 * One of those must have changed with detrimental effects; I don't know which it was. But it does show the need for proper testing before any widely-used module or template is altered. -- Red rose64 (talk) 10:17, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Template:Rail-interchange/doc alone is enough to be classified as Pages where template include size is exceeded, but the progress of rewriting Rail-interchange into Lua module is unknown because of the sheer amount of images and text styles the template handles. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 13:40, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Yes, I was understanding it in the same sense of "gentrification". I don't think that it's an appropriate term for the reshaping of a topological map. -- Red rose64 (talk) 10:24, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Questions about Module:Routemap/sandbox
Hi Sameboat, Thanks, Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use &#123;&#123;re&#124;Jc86035&#125;&#125; to reply to me 10:47, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Does the  function actually do anything, or is it leftover code from the Russian Wikipedia?
 * Would splitting the module up into separate subpages improve performance?
 * A1: Only in Russia...n WP and similar Slavic WPs for separating rows, e.g. ru:Шаблон:Кольцевая линия (Москва), this is due to their special way of using vibrant RDT icons. But we should leave it be if the EN WP module gets retro-implemented to RU WP.
 * A2: Would be better if you ask or in Wikipedia talk:Lua, but I assume the performance by separating sub-module is unnoticeable unless you hit the Scribunto's cap of 250 local variables (I once hit this cap in a wikia project when I was still learning the basic of Lua/Scribunto). -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 11:28, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think splitting that module would help—Module:Convert is 2.5 times larger, not counting the fact that it loads two large and complex data modules. Well over 1000 convert templates can be expanded in under the 10-second limit. Splitting would only ever help if there was a lot of fixed data (like in Module:Convert/data), or if most invokes of a module only need, say, 40% of the code in the module, and the other 60% is required only for a small number of cases that arise infrequently. Is there a performance problem? Johnuniq (talk) 02:23, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

Saint Petersburg Metro
Hi Sameboat,

may please create of the Saint Petersburg Metro similar to your Moscow Metro map?--Парнас (talk) 18:44, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I do have (commons:user:sameboat) but why bother when there are already ones used in the articles? The system doesn’t seem like expanded recently. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 00:30, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Map making request
Hiya. I've seen your excellent work on transit maps and was wondering if you'd be up for one I've been trying to get someone to do for a while. Let me know as soon as you can. Mitch 32 (My ambition is to hit .400 and talk 1.000.) 04:48, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi. This depends on the scale of the system, taking into account of near-future expansions. My current career doesn’t allow me to work on the scale like London or Moscow. Anything simpler than the systems of these cities are approachable. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 06:27, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Mine is actually historical. I will let you decide: if this is worth it. Mitch 32 (My ambition is to hit .400 and talk 1.000.) 17:57, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * This looks manageable, but I would like you to clarify the scope of the diagram (do you need to show even the minor stations? They are plentiful) and possibly make a rough and simplified draft, maybe in MS Paint. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 01:44, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I want everything. In fact, I have stations that are missing from that to add as well. Mitch 32 (My ambition is to hit .400 and talk 1.000.) 01:51, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Moscow Metro Nekrasovka station
The Nekrasovka station of Line 15 is incorrectly named as Nekrasova on your Moscow Metro scheme.

Image rights
Hello, there. I was wondering if I could upload an edited version of, in order to use it on the Ligurian Wikipedia's article about China, and – in that case – which Creative Commons license you used for it, so I know what to insert during the uploading process.

Athens transport
Hello, I wonder if you can please create an SVG map for the Athens Metro, the Athens Suburban Railway and the Athens Tram? For the latter, I plan to make it a clickable map in List of Athens Tram stops to replace the RDT that is actually too tall for the list of tram stops. Best, -- Minoa (talk) 04:42, 26 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I am sorry but because of my job I don't think I have the time and energy to create and maintain another transit digram. You may check the tips in my Commons user page for creating your own SVG diagram. A quick look of the 3 Athens transit systems, I recommend not to draw the full detail of the tram system into the metro and suburbsn rail diagram, otherwise it would ruin the balance of the whole diagram. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 05:29, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Your possible WP:NPOV, WP:NOT, WP:UNDUE, WP:CRYSTALBALL, WP:OR, WP:SOURCES and WP:FAKE
Hello, Sameboat. I did check the Japanese sources and found your edit as a WP:FAKE (and some other rules breached), as the sources name="tokyo091222" and name="cdp240822" does not contain anything about lawyer Hiroshi Yamaguchi from Zenkoku Benren and/or anything about his worries. The text is WP:UNDUE an WP:CRYSTALLBALL, anyway. Details are described in the article's discussion. In case ... discuss it there. I hope it is just a misunderstanding. Please edit responsibly. Do not put false information into Wikipedia. Same with the previous case here with alleged "church's exploitation" which is not mentioned in the source at all.--Dee (talk) 17:39, 26 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Please just talk about on Abe's assassination talk page, but you have made some clearly false accusations on me. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 00:16, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Actualy, just half-false. Note my "I hope it is just a misunderstanding.". Sorry, did not realized there is second page in the internet article, as the link was for the first page (practically different link), but the part of WP:NPOV, WP:NOT, WP:UNDUE, WP:CRYSTALBALL is still valid and you did not address the issue. --Dee (talk) 00:31, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Chicago L Map udpate
Hello,

I'm not sure if you're still actively updating your (wonderful) maps. But if you are I have a slight correction for Chicago 'L', which is that Purple line express trains stop at Wilson and have since it reopened in 2017. See https://www.transitchicago.com/station/wils/

Thanks for all you do! DavidSSabb (talk) 02:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the notice. I will take a look and correct it On Monday. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 05:03, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Washington Metro system map
Just a heads up: the Potomac Yard station, which is labeled as '(proposed)' on your beautiful map, is scheduled to be opened in about 3 months. Thanks! Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 03:27, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the notice. Personally I don't think it makes a huge different to leave it be until the opening of Potomac Yard station, but if you think it is better to revise the wording, I encourage you to try to modify the SVG file which is very very easy for such minor change. Just download the SVG file to your computer, open it in any text editor (I recommend Notepad++, but you can stick with the default Notepad or any thing else), press Ctrl+H to search for (proposed) and enter the phrase you want to change like (to be open), save the SVG file, open it in your browser to verify the change, finally upload and overwrite the system map on Wikimedia Commons. If you really have no confidence and prefer to let me handle it, let me know. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 03:39, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree, this can wait until the station is opened. Since I don't live in DC (I was researching a family trip when I noticed this) I will probably forget about it. Good luck! Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 03:48, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
