Propose rename. We have inconsistently named the various railway station templates. Some are called 'foo-rail-station-stub', while others are 'foo-railstation-stub'. Propose the following to correct this inconsistency:


 * rail-station-stub to railstation-stub
 * Canada-rail-station-stub to Canada-railstation-stub
 * (Would just need to switch the redirect around here)
 * Denmark-rail-station-stub to Denmark-railstation-stub
 * Germany-rail-station-stub to Germany-railstation-stub
 * Norway-rail-station-stub to Norway-railstation-stub
 * Poland-rail-station-stub to Poland-railstation-stub

Another option would be renaming all the railstation to rail-station, but that would involve the US, and UK, and all of their subtemplates. The change outlined above involves far fewer updates. Dawynn (talk) 14:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Support, but I'd definitely advise keeping the current names as redirects. Grutness...wha?  00:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
