Cutting continuations

I have just uploaded  (uexCCONTfq) which was based upon Useddenim's  (uCCONTfq), but has slightly altered geometry. In the original, the CUT line continues into the arrow unbroken. Looking for a little more visual harmony with our existing elevated continuations, I have broken the CUT line into 60px lengths (the old diameters for the elevated circles) centered on the triangles. Looking to get some feedback on this alternate design. Lost on Belmont (talk) 03:33, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Quite a good idea, IMHO. However, both icons should be corrected to match the geometry of  (uCSTRq), as can be seen to the right. YLSS (talk) 08:35, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

It's a visual trick I guess but in  (uexCCONTfq) the "teeth" look larger than on the other BSicons. Maybe you could try a triangle from the left border that runs thinner to the right, or fading out? a×p_de^Hello! 16:07, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

That't not a trick, it's precisely what I meant above: the straight lines of the cutting in both icons are shifted outwards. YLSS (talk) 17:42, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

I've made the correction to the ex version. Any other thoughts? Lost on Belmont (talk) 23:02, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Split icons

uexn uw-split2 uexn uw-split3 uexn uw-split+1 uexn uw-split+4 uexn uw-split2 un uw-split3

I have just uploaded these four icons:   (uex???2)   (uex???3)   (uex???+1) and   (uex???+4). Together they (can be used to) make up the diagram at right, which represents a two line version of  (uvÜSTB).

This leaves me with two questions. First, what naming scheme should I adopt for such icons? Second, what category should they be put into? (They're currently in "experimental.")

Clearly my usage is that of a track change, however, that isn't exactly what each icon is on an individual basis. They have elements of narrow icons (each line is 50px) but each icon was based upon a uw junction. The problem here is that, for narrow icons, the f and g positions won't line up properly because of the offset. Also, they don't exactly represent junctions since the two narrow lines don't meet, but "run" parallel to each other to form a standard line.

ideas? Lost on Belmont (talk) 02:03, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

For those who have seen this and are still contemplating these icons, try this idea on for size. What if the "straight" narrow line was shifted slightly as it progressed so that it would align itself to match existing n icons? Lost on Belmont (talk) 02:18, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Huh, but that would kill the only reason of these icons' existence: providing a neat (& beautiful) explanation of the track layout. YLSS (talk) 02:31, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Not necessarily entirely. I gave it a whirl with a new icon, seen in the diagram in standard "u." It doesn't have the sharpness of the other geometry (and the bend is noticeable at 20px) but it does allow greater flexibility with existing narrow icons. If the other icons were modified accordingly, they would all line up with each other (with a slight bend in the straight sections). By no means is it perfect. Just throwing out other ideas that might make the icons useful beyond a specific (and narrow—no pun intended) application so that they might be "accepted." Lost on Belmont (talk) 03:31, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Hm, and I have a different idea: how about squeezing those 4 icons vertically by the factor of 2 and keeping that as a single icon? In other words, making a double-width version of  (uvÜSTB) —  (ubvÜSTB)? Or in yet other words, a narrow-line single-icon version of ? It won't need to be compatible with other icons. YLSS (talk) 11:27, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

 (ubvÜSTB) – and also  (uexbvÜSTB) – uploaded. Also   (un uw-split3) redrawn with a more subtle shift. Useddenim (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Seems like three great minds think alike. This was the second alternative I had in mind. Of course, when I got up this morning and logged on, not only had this very idea been proposed, but they'd also been made up! And now that Useddenim has created (and implemented) a "uexh" version, their original purpose has been fulfilled. Still, I think these icons could still have some standard usage with the modified design. As of right now, we still don't have many transition pieces between standard width and narrow icons. With the modified geometry for the straight pieces and the addition of some narrow uw curves, these could fill that particular role. In this situation, they could represent a kind of junction. Still can't think of an appropriate name other than   (un something g3). Thoughts? Lost on Belmont (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

I still dont like it ;-) but   (unABZg3) seems to be the right name, akin to  (uABZg3); it is slightly different from  (unSTR3※ unSTR) , but that’s why we need have narrow lines at all: They are more than downscaled version of regular ones (which would be useless for vectorial diagram elements such as BSicons). -- Tuválkin ✉ 19:52, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes. "unABZg3" was my first thought, but it is of course different than the "expected" geometry for that name. I'll wait a bit, to see if there are any objections to that naming scheme or other ideas and, if not, I'll start renaming. Lost on Belmont (talk) 22:13, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

There are objections! unABZg3 can only be  (unSTR3※ unSTR) , we must maintain algorithmic solvability. Neither   (un uw-split3) nor   (uexn uw-split3) fit any of our current naming patterns, so if you are really keen on keeping them, some new roots will have to be invented, maybe something SPLitty. But I would favour just deleting them, now that the current issue has been solved. YLSS (talk) 11:48, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

We have  (STR2h+r) to differentiate from  (STR2+r), so—if we’re not going to simply delete the u(ex)n uw-split# icons—we also need to differentiate between   (un uw-split3) and  (unABZg3) . Since the key difference is the side-by-side (i.e. double-width) line at the top (back) edge, that’s what needs to be denoted (similar to the half-width line in corner 2 of  (STR2h+r)). Perhaps   (unABZdg3) for double? Useddenim (talk) 12:44, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Hail the return of ABZdg! ;) Wait, we're not done with the previous one... YLSS (talk) 13:23, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

I intend to keep them (unless everyone else is against). I have a (different) use for two of this kind already and I believe that if available, they could be very useful in the future (although more for the "main" set than the "u" set.") The "SPL" root seems to be for parallel lines, which is similar, but different than the concept here. Also, since YLSS has provided an existing (albeit depreciated) set for "ABZd," I don't think that would be prudent. How about "DIV" or "DVD" for divide/divde (all CSS and videos aside) or "TLN" for "teilen"? Lost on Belmont (talk) 15:58, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't think we need a new root since these have the same overall geometry as an ABZ; and a new root doesn't necessarily indicate which is the doubled end when there's a construct such as File:BSicon un uw-split3.svg . Besides, the current ABZd is an aberration that has to go (and shouldn't have been created in the first place). Useddenim (talk) 16:06, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Just to clarify: which icons —   (uexn uw-split3) & co. vs.   (un uw-split3) — are you presently talking about, Lost on belmont, and for which do you propose unABZdg3, Useddenim? YLSS (talk) 18:16, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

(unABZdg3)	unABZgd3	unABZg3d
double-width line at top	double-width line at bottom	double-width line at corner 3

The last two would require a 100-to-50 px taper, unless there were also other branches. Useddenim (talk) 18:54, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

If so, maybe better to use unABZgd+3f / unABZg+3df / unABZg+3fd? Although I hope you don't intend to upload the last two. I wanted myself to create a regular-to-narrow transition (could be used for single-track bridges, saw those at fr.wp), but combining it with a junction, a bit too much... YLSS (talk) 19:31, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

If I follow you correctly, Shouldn't that be unABZgd3f so that we have ABZ with g doubled to corner 3 and front? Lost on Belmont (talk) 19:42, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

No, I meant the same pattern as used for more complex uw-junctions, like  (uABZ1+3f). The more simple  (uABZg3) would be uABZg+3f under it. Just because Useddenim's patterns need three points possibly highlighted. YLSS (talk) 20:19, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Since these aren't more complex junctions, I think the more basic naming system should be employed for these. So,   (uexnABZdg2),   (uexnABZdg3),   (uexnABZgd+1), and   (uexnABZgd+4) (once reconfigured). Right? Lost on Belmont (talk) 03:54, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Dunno, if Useddenim wants to leave a provision "doubling" the other two points, then better unABZgd+3f. I can live with any. YLSS (talk) 07:38, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Edit conflict. All of the above.   (uexn uw-split3) & co. will all be modified to be like   (un uw-split3). :) They could also be useful for canals and whatnot. Lost on Belmont (talk) 18:58, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

No narrow lines!

Sorry to subvert your call for ideas, Lost on Belmont, but i.m.o. things like  (uvÜSTB) and even  (uPSL) (and especially their derivatives with portals and bridges) are not the way to go. If a given layout is too complex to put on a diagram cell at 500 px wide, then either draw it bigger (like in the red examples at the right), or simplify it.

I understand that’s not the issue with this thread (and that’s why I open a new subsection), but the problem you raise, about the misalignment between (or the need for a different alignment for) things like   (exnSTRlf) v.s  (eABZgnl) is a proof that regular 100px lines splitting in two adjoining narrow lines are nothing but a hacked version of double lines: should rather be on a diagram.

And if it is i.m.o. a bad idea to use things like  (vÜSTol) at all, it seems to me even worse to expand the use of narrow lines to multiple-row constructs, where there’s room enough to use 100px lines.

-- Tuválkin ✉ 13:48, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Putting aside Lost on Belmont's icons, on which I haven't settled my mind yet, I have to say that you must be confusing things, Tuválkin. BSicons have never been good in representing the number of tracks in a line, and are rarely used for that, so  (eABZg+nl) and  (vSTR-eABZg+l) are completely different things. In the latter, there are two major lines that (we might assume) provide some different possibilities where to go to further on, in the former — only one, plus some minor line. Yes, there's the question of whether it is worth representing that minor line with a "narrow" line or a standard line would do as well, but let's leave that to designers of particular RDTs... Moreover, in  (vSTR-eABZg+l) the two major lines can quite possibly mean two pairs of tracks, i. e. two bi-directional routes; in such things as  (uvÜSTB) it is implied that each "narrow" line is not a "route" in itself, just a single-direction track of a two-track line. So the implications are really different. YLSS (talk) 15:22, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I’m not “confusing” anything. I just happen to be have a different opinion — as stressed in my post above (two counts of "i.m.o."). I’m more than happy to «leave that to designers of particular RDTs», as usual, but I wont shut my trap just in case some might change their opinion over that. As for the condescending tone, YLSS, don’t: The role of resident BSicon douchebag is already taken. -- Tuválkin ✉ 16:48, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Open cut for a parallel line

Hello, I'm looking for an open cut solution for a parallel line. I was considering either   or a trio of    and   converted into the parallel line size like File:BSicon lvCUT.svg . I would consider the trio of icons to be a better solution due to the length of the cut. However, I've overlaid the icon onto my parallel line and it looked a bit odd because of the station. I don't know if there is a better solution for it. File:BSicon lvCUT.svg (vuBHF-STR※ lvCUT) . Thanks, J.reed (talk) 18:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

There is indeed little space for such formations in case of parallel lines, better use additional icons and overlaying, like that →. If you have any problems with alignment, just link to the diagram in question. YLSS (talk) 21:22, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

New pictogram

moved from User talk:YLSS#New pictogram

Hi. Just a little problem for me, perhaps a solution by you: I need a pictogram as "Crossings with junctions" for a diagram in which an horizontal former railway line crosses a vertical former tramway one. In the corner left-down there was a tramway junction that allowed tram vehicles from the railway to enter the tramway path (for better explication see https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Ale_Sasso/Sandbox#Tranvia_Modena-Maranello). I'm afraid a specific icon in blu/red colors don't exist: can you help me? Thank in advance.--Ale Sasso (talk) 15:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi! You know, I generally don't like such complicated mixed-colour icons, better use overlaying. (It's now possible to use up to five layers at it.wp.) Like this:   uexKRZ+xr|O5=exSTRq. However, I also find such "crossing+junction" icons too cluttered, and if there is enough space, I would rather use k-crossings,    uexkSTRq+r|O4=exSTRq|uexmKRZ|O5=uexkABZc3 etc. YLSS (talk) 17:31, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Icon needed

See en:Template:Hastings Line
I'm trying to redraw the diagram for the Hastings Line article on en-Wiki to more accurately depict the situation at Robertsbridge, where the heritage railway have built a new station adjacent to the mainline station. Formerly, there was a cross-platform interchange, but this will not be used when the heritage line fully reopens in 2017. What is needed is the top half of v-STR to eliminate the stub protruding below the station when used as an overlay with lv-BHF. Mjroots (talk) 08:53, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes:

• Licensing should be {{PD-shape}}, not {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}}.
• I don’t know what you’re using to edit the icons, but the svg code is two to four times larger than it should be.
• If the icons are based on hBHFCCe, why didn’t you name them hACCCCe, etc?

No reason for {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} instead of {{PD-shape}} everybody else uses; this is especially galling since you’re most obviously not creating these anew, and yet you fail to indicate the source image whence these derive from. Your software is also adding needless cruff such as <title>Layer 1</title>. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 21:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

The id= attributes are also superfluous, and it's also using unnecessary overprecision - values like 71.899994 and 180.200012 could easily be altered to 71.9 and 180.2 without detriment. --Redrose64 (talk; at English Wikipedia) 15:47, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

"Continuation from" on embankment

Just uploaded two new icons  (uDCONT+f) and  (uexDCONT+f). Both convey the same concept but use different iconography to represent it. The one on the left uses the current arrangement for embankment continuations, while the one on the left is a combination of the embankment pieces and the "negative arrow" of the corresponding elevated piece:   (uhCONT+f). At larger sizes I prefer the left version, but at 20x20 I prefer the right version, although there is a bit of an optical illusion that may or may not need to be corrected. (In the right version all the "pointy ends" do line up vertically.) Thoughts? Lost on  Belmont ^3200N_1000W  (talk) 01:08, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

fHST pointing to fexHST

This isn't a request for a new icon per se, but asking to fix an existing one. When using  (fHST) in templates, it displays  (fexHST) instead for some reason. I don't really know how to fix this, but I assume something somewhere is pointing to the wrong file. SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 16:21, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Actually, it might be an icon from the "green" icon set which is displaying. In either case, it's not the right icon. SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 16:23, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

And can I also request vfSTR, vfHST-HST2 (should be two parallel minor stops) and then a Y and upside-down Y shape split to bring the parallel lines back together? I don't mind creating these myself if someone tells me the correct names for them. The last two especially I don't know what they're called or where to find the original red coloured image to create a new one from. Thanks! SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 22:22, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

 (fvSTR) already exists. With respect to the minor stops, I wasn't sure if you meant  (fvHST) or  (fvHST-HST2), as stated (which has much different geometry). And if you want two parallel minor stops you should use 2× (fdHST). The parallel start/end icons are  (fSPLa) and  (fSPLe).
As for your display issue, I randomly selected a diagram (en:Template:Pennine Bridleway), and  (fHST) displayed correctly. I would suggest clearing/resetting your browser cache. Useddenim (talk) 22:00, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Many thanks! Those were the icons I was looking for. Not too sure how to use the half-sized icons, but should be able to work it out with a bit of trial and error. Clearing the cache didn't work, but looked on another computer and it displays fine, so I guess I'll carry on with the knowledge that it's only my computer not displaying correctly. SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 05:54, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

To use half width icons in this sense, increase the "BS" by 1 (for instance BS2 would become BS3) and then place the two half with icons next to each other. The two half-width icons will take up the space of one normal icon so everything will line up normally above and below. Lost on  Belmont ^3200N_1000W  (talk) 01:20, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

The problem with  (fHST) not displaying correctly is an issue with the svg code. The colour of the icon is specified as green rather than #008000. I don't know which browser SegataSanshiro1 is using, but for a while some rendering engines were showing green as something close to #00ff00 instead of the correct #008000. Useddenim (talk) 03:19, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

That makes more sense since deleting the cache multiple times did nothing. I'm using Fireforx v39 and the browser on the other computer where it displayed correctly was a slightly older version of Firefox, so seems to be something that in the last few months with the rendering engine. Hope that helps. SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 15:13, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

There is already  (hdBHF). I can make uhdBHF and other derivatives fairly easily, but I think I will let you practice because it's no more than changing the hex color code and removing the unwanted side of the bridge in Notepad(++). The tricky bit is that bridge part for joining  (uhSTRc1) and  (uvSTR+4-) or  (udSTR+4). First I'm not sure how to name that because v/d are the kinds of icons I tend not to use. I devise the path data for the (objective) left side of bridge to be M -184,0 L 0,184 a 170.71,170.71 0 0,1 50,120.71 V 500. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 13:39, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@Sameboat:  (hdBHF) has the formations in the wrong place, and furthermore it has become standard to curve the bridge formations at stations like  (hBHF) and  (hKBHFa). If it were easy as moving the formations and changing the hex code I would probably have done that already. Jc86035 (talk • contributions • uploads) 14:30, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

For hdBHF, there's no space for curved bridge formation at all, the circle of dBHF simply touches the edge of the 2 sides. I can make a transition icons between hBHF and hdBHF, though. But I don't think we need extra icons just for patching the sides of exceeding curved bridge formation. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 15:23, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Diagonal lines

Would it be feasible to have a group of icons similar to the üw set but with 22.5° offset 26.565° (tan^-10.5). maths fail. Jc86035 (talk • contributions • uploads) 05:40, 7 June 2016 (UTC) instead of 45°? (Could also work with the KRW group.) Jc86035 (talk • contributions • uploads) 03:54, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

 (22.5)

 (30)

Possible? yes; feasible? no. Consider the two examples: at 22½°, the red line, which starts at (0,0), continues across but does not reach another “standard” edge point. The same applies to the green (0,250) and blue (500,500) lines.
If—and this is a very big if—a new set of diagonal lines were to be introduced, I would have them run at 30°/60°, which at least end at standard edge points.
Furthermore, there is the naming issue: how would you name the icon with a line that starts at (0,375) at a downward 30° angle, then curves to end at (250,500) in the forward direction? Useddenim (talk) 23:31, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

For your information: The angle of 1:2 gradient is 26.565 precisely, far from 30. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 02:09, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

@Sameboat and Useddenim: 1:2 gradient was what I intended to mean in the original post. As for an icon specifically going from lower right lower left to forward, could we take the KRW root and call it KRW+le KRW+re [edited for clarity Jc86035 (talk • contributions • uploads) 11:24, 7 June 2016 (UTC)]? (We could probably avoid creating any new roots by augmenting existing STR and KRW roots with combinations of the existing a (or f), e (or g), l and r suffixes.) Jc86035 (talk • contributions • uploads) 05:40, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

For the purple line on the left panel, I may call it KRWl+4 (c.f.  (STRl+4)) and on the right pannel, KRW2+r (c.f.  (STR2+r)). -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 09:05, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

@Sameboat and Useddenim: Come to think of it, starting at (0,375) would put it into the parallel lines category (since Sameboat's proposed icons start at (0,0), (0,250) and (0,500)), so the naming could also be something like KRW+r- (based on  (STR+r-). We would need a bit of clarifying in the names (yay, more suffixes?) as to if either end is diagonal (and if yes, in which of the two – or four, if we allow directional changes smaller than 90° – directions it goes in), since Category:Icons for railway descriptions/parallel lines/curve is right angles only. Jc86035 (talk • contributions • uploads) 11:24, 7 June 2016 (UTC) @Useddenim: We probably wouldn't have a curve specifically from (0,375) (diagonally) to (250,500) (straight) because that would require a curve in two directions to avoid having a corner in the line. For any line from (0,125) to (250,500), however, we could potentially end up having either or both ends as a diagonal (potentially allowing a 90° turn, but not a 63.4° turn), giving us four (or five) permutations.

 (KRWhat-the)

Also, how would you differentiate between a line starting at (0,0) and running towards (500,250) vs. one starting at (0,0) and running towards (250,500)? Useddenim (talk) 15:24, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

For (0,0) to (250,500) I may call it SHI4+4 for connecting with  (SHI4+lq) (Category:Icons for railway descriptions/shift/four quarters), add suffix q if you want, even though I do not think it is necessary.

The creator of these icons is likely referencing the updated official metro diagram for denoting out-of-station interchange for the new Line 14 (outer red circle) via street level (the other interchanges for Line 14 which use HUB icons in RDT are also OSI but they're within the same transport hub with the traditional metro stations), so I don't think the Russian Wikipedians would be too kind of taking your suggestion. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 23:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Former siding icon required

I'm after an icon to depict a former siding on an existing horizontal piece of track. The siding needs to go above the track, with the points on the left side, and a buffer stop on the right. Imagine  (ePSLl) rotated anti-clockwise 90 degrees, but with a buffer stop on the right rather than rejoining the main line.

BHF+BUE is poor as it doesn't distinguish where the level crossing is so it is not I note

Can someone codify a symbol for HST minor station and similar for BST with a small level crossing x immediately after it and one for before it, otherwise we have two symbols to use one after the other which seems overkill. An attempt has been made with BHF+BUE but is so counterintuitive as one X on top of a station it has obviously been rightfully omitted from the Template:Railway line legend. A small station can appear at top of an icon and X below, there is poor logic showing an x elsewhere otherwise and such an icon would help with station identification (and improvements should the level crossing find the funds to be replaced)- Adam37 Talk 17:31, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

  • @Useddenim: Would it be possible to name  (KRWr※ STRlf) or  (vSHI3+r-※ vSTR+l-) ? I've thought about using the A prefix, but it would probably be best to either stick them together with a plus sign or use another character between the suffixes (e.g. AKRWr;l or something).

• I would say that + is always possible, even if often there are better names. Therefore:
  •  (KRW+r+STR+1)
  •  (BS2+r+STRrg)

@Useddenim and Tuvalkin: See also  (STRr+SHI1l),  (exv-STRr+SHI1+l),  (v-ABZ+la). Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

• The first two above use +, as I suggested above. As for  (v-ABZ+la) — what’s wrong with it? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 15:49, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
  • @Tuvalkin: For the latter icon, it wasn't particularly clear to me what the name actually means; it might make more sense as v-ABZa+l. I'm not really very familiar with the pre-SHI variety of shift junctions, and names like  (vABZr+r-ÜSTle),  (vSTRa-STRl) and  (uvSTRelf) just seem rather odd (relative to the usual icons).

@Tuvalkin and Useddenim: if  (vSTRag+l) would be correctly named SPLag+l (based on vSTRa → SPLa), then would  (v-ABZ+la) be SHI1lg+l (and thus   SHI4+rg+1,   uvSTRlgf,   ABZ2+4gf+g)? Jc86035 (talk) 10:06, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

tv-STR+1eg

Would create icon   (tv-STR+1eg) similar to  (tSTR+1eg) in en:Template:Severn_Tunnel_junction_RDT. Rowan03 (talk) 15:32, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

• @Rowan03: Like this:   (tv-STR+1eg)? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 01:01, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
  • @Tuvalkin: No, that's  (tvSTR+1-Le). In the linked diagram it would be better to use tSTR3+lef, which I'm working on. Jc86035 (talk) 06:33, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
  • @Rowan03: I have updated the diagram to use  (tSTR3+lef). The reason I didn't use tv-STR+1eg instead is that the portal would have had to be moved downwards to fit inside the border. If you think  (tv-STR+1e) looks better you can change the diagram to use that icon instead. Jc86035 (talk) 15:40, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

kKRZ3+lu

Would create icon  (kKRZ3+lu) similar to  (ekKRZ3+lu) in en:Template:Cross_River_Rail. Rowan03 (talk) 22:13, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

@Rowan03:  Done, as well as others in the group (256 including mixed icons). Jc86035 (talk) 10:17, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

uexkkSTRr+1

Would create icon  (uexkkSTRr+1) in en:Template:Gd-Ol-Tw-Map. Rowan03 (talk) 22:32, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

 Not done. This is an invalid icon name. Useddenim (talk) 00:11, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

@Useddenim: no, it's valid (uex version of  (kkSTR2) rotated 90° anticlockwise). I would have uploaded a complete set but I haven't had time to work out a geometry which uses two perfect circular arcs for the kkSTR (formerly kAB) icons. Jc86035 (talk) 15:36, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

@Xeror:  Done, as well as others in the set. Jc86035 (talk) 04:19, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

MKBHFa

Would create icon  (MKBHFa) in conjunction with  (exhKBHFa) in en:Template:Railways_on_the_Isle_of_Wight. Rowan03 (talk) 13:19, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

@Rowan03: I've made  (MKBHFa) as well as  (lhMKBHFa) (+ rotations, HST variations). Jc86035 (talk) 06:20, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

exKRZxl+r

I’m looking for an icon I’d expect to be named  (exKRZxl+r), i.e.  (KRZl+r) with all but the lower-left curve disused. Am I missing something or is it indeed missing? (Icon should replace the  (exKRZ+r) at w:de:Bahnstrecke Weinheim–Worms) --Nenntmichruhigip (talk) 12:48, 9 October 207 (UTC)

@Nenntmichruhigip: I've uploaded it. Useddenim, did I get the geometry right? Jc86035 (talk) 13:48, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

exKRZxl+r with & without extra triangle beside crossing

@Jc86035: I've uploaded a new version that has equal-sized white triangles on each side of the crossing. Useddenim (talk) 01:13, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

@Useddenim: As previously, I don't think the line width should change abruptly halfway through (especially here, since the difference is larger than in other crossings). Has there been any actual consensus for crossing+junction geometry? I assumed the geometry would be separately considered for open and closed parts e.g.  (xKRZl), except for icons like  (KRZxlr+rxl)? Jc86035 (talk) 02:03, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

@Jc86035 and Axpde: The original version is geometrically correct, but at 20px crowded icons—such as this one—benefit from hinting, the same as fonts. Useddenim (talk) 18:12, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

We have exact rules for each track style. I see no sense at all to massacre the BSicons just to see "white triangles"! a×p_de^Hello! 20:10, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Ah yes, the perennial German "We must follow the rules" regardless. Well, I say break the rules because “rules are mostly made to be broken”. Useddenim (talk) 00:21, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

ukABZl+34

Would create icon   (ukABZl+34) to similar to  (kABZl+34) in en:Hambuk Line. Rowan03 (talk) 17:27, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

v-BRIDGEc1e and vBRIDGEc3a-

Would create icon   (v-BRIDGEc1e) and   (vBRIDGEc3a-) similar to  (dBRIDGEc1e) and  (dBRIDGEc3a) respectively in en:South Eastern main line diagram. Rowan03 (talk) 17:34, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

kRP4c3, kRP4s+4, kRP42+w, kRP4-c1

Would create icons   (kRP4c3),   (kRP4s+4),   (kRP42+w) and   (kRP4-c1), similar to  (RP4c3),  (RP4s+4),  (RP42+w) and  (RP4c1) respectively in en:Template:Cross_River_Rail. Rowan03 (talk) 00:15, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

bend junction with crossing on the end

I need  (exABZ2l) with the red tip of  (xSTR2). --Nenntmichruhigip (talk) 11:11, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

 (STRc2※ exABZ2l) . Useddenim (talk) 01:18, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Exatcly. There’s no such overlap template on dewiki though, so I need an actual icon :-) --Nenntmichruhigip (talk) 20:07, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

I am sorry, but I can't – it will not be approved by der Bildercatalog. You will have to fix de:BS-map instead of creating an icon that will be used only once. Useddenim (talk) 03:36, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

@Nenntmichruhigip: The {{Routemap}} documentation and the six legend templates have been mostly translated into German on dewikivoyage, for what it's worth. Would it be so difficult to ask an admin to import a few templates and two modules (Routemap and Color contrast)? Jc86035 (talk) 07:33, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Iirc it’s not wanted on dewiki, so yes, it would be difficult to ask for such an import. Maybe I’ll just name it   (STRc2 ※ exABZ2l) or something. --Nenntmichruhigip (talk) 14:12, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

The name should be  (exABZ2l+STRc2), in that case. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 23:28, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

uSKRZ-G4h2+4, SKRZ-G4h2+4, and an icon for unknown name.

would create icons for like this?

•  (uSKRZ-G4h2+4)
•  (SKRZ-G4h2+4)
• I don't know which name for this icon, but it mixed for  (RP4uhRP4) above the  (STR2+4) (STR2+4 under the bridge).

respectively in w:zh-yue:獵德大橋南站. --PQ77wd (talk) 08:43, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

@Useddenim and PQ77wd: The Cantonese Wikipedia doesn't have {{Routemap}} yet; should I ask for it to be imported? Jc86035 (talk) 03:30, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

{{Routemap}} just not existed in Cantonese Wikipedia. However, I co-opte the Japanese Wikipedia for using template like {{Railway line header}}, {{UKrail-header}} and an army of {{BS}}* series. {{Routemap}} this template can be created for a new one.--PQ77wd (talk) 04:08, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

@PQ77wd: "this template can be created for a new one" 的意思是什麼？ Jc86035 (talk) 04:21, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

@Jc86035: 即係話可以新開個噉解囉。--PQ77wd (talk) 04:24, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
