Route diagram template in the Signpost

You may be interested in participating in an interview with WikiProject Infoboxes that is scheduled to run in the Signpost's WikiProject Report. The fourth set of questions deals with the route diagram template and could use your expertise. Feel free to contribute to any of the other sets of questions that catch your eye. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. –Mabeenot (talk) 23:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Middlesbrough railway station

Hi, can you take another look at the routebox change you made to Middlesbrough railway station, there appears to be a problem with the absence of a proceeding station. May be this is the terminus that is not showing. Thanks. Keith D (talk) 00:43, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Benidorm cast and characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Missed section

Hi, this wasn't a missed section. Although more than 30 days old, MiszaBot is configured on this page with |minthreadsleft=5 which leaves a minimum of five threads behind - which is what was left following this edit. I added a thread on 12 Feb, so the 13 Feb run would have archived off the oldest, to leave five again. --Redrose64 (talk) 00:39, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

WCML complexity

Kensal Green Queen's Park Bakerloo Line Kilburn High Road South Hampstead Chiltern Main Line North London Line Watford DC Line (right) Chalk Farm Camden Chalk Farm London Euston Euston tube station, Northern Line and Victoria Line

Hi - in reply to your message, yes I do get time-out errors on the south section occasionally, though not as bad as I found the north section (which is why I'm intending to split that one when I start work on it). I find that mostly it saves, but times out before it re-loads the page, so nothing's lost, though I've got into the habit of doing a select all - copy before submitting just in case. One thing I've found that does speed things up is disabling Show preview on first edit in the editing section of your preferences, as this dramatically speeds up the time to load the edit box. I don't think there's much else that can be done, as the page is pushing towards the boundaries of the template limit.

On the subject of complexity, I really think the level of detail you've gone to around Queens Park is unnecessary for an overview diagram that's showing such a large section of route. Even Template:Watford DC line doesn't go to that much detail. How do you feel about this proposal (right)? It shows the Bakerloo diving off underneath the mainlines from the DC lines, but retains the parallel icons to keep the indication of the proximity of the two tracks. I don't think there's any need to show the turn-back siding at Harrow & Wealdstone - we don't show sidings in other places, and the page isn't about the Bakerloo anyway.

What are your thoughts?  An optimist on the run! 19:18, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Reverted edit on Edinburgh Castle page

Thank goodness someone—namely yourself—had the good sense and bravery to revert the latest additions to the above page. Perhaps that contributor should start a new page on "Edinburgh Castle and the paranormal"—but I hope not! Kim Traynor | Talk 17:21, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I'd object to those additions on other grounds. I'd like to think Wikipedia deals with facts! Also, wrong placing, disproportionatality, and they carried a distinct whiff of advertising ghost tours for potential visitors to the city. Kim Traynor | Talk 18:02, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

DYK nomination of North British, Arbroath and Montrose Railway

Hello! Your submission of North British, Arbroath and Montrose Railway at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Not a drastic problem but could the wording of the hook be changed? I notice you have clarified the relevant part of the article under the 'Montrose viaduct' section, as that had also been rather clumsily worded initially? I've also posted this on Thin Cat's talk page as I wasn't sure where would be best. Thanks! SagaciousPhil - Chat 16:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your encouraging interest. I have suggested an ALT1. Hope I have followed the right procedure. Thincat (talk) 18:16, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

@Simply south, please change or propose another hook if you prefer. Thincat (talk) 18:16, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

The annual passenger usage is based on sales of tickets in stated financial years from Office of Rail and Road estimates of station usage. The statistics are for passengers arriving and departing from each station and cover twelve-month periods that start in April. Methodology may vary year on year. Usage from the periods 2019-20 and especially 2020-21 onwards have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic

As you'll see, it automatically fills in the usage of each station. The only down-side is that you also have to provide the three letter code foe each station, however this should be available in the station article's infobox. However the advantages are that it saves having to add each number individually, and when new data is available the templates can be expanded without having to update every line that transcludes it. Obviously I don't want to roll this out until I've entered the data for other years. This will be a lot of work, but I'm willing to do this if there's support for me to carry on. What I don't want to happen is for me to put in that work, only for it to be rejected by people saying they prefer the way it's done at the moment. What do you think? Is this worth pursuing or not? An optimist on the run!   21:01, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

It looks good and easier. UKsta-u, although having been around a couple of years, and associated templates, have only been implemented on a few lines so far and it should not be that hard to change them. I don't think anyone will mind and truthfully I think I'm the one who has implemented most of them anyway. Thanks for the effort.

I also wondered about exploring 1997 - 2002. With the current coding as you know u1-u8 are set up only to handle 2002-2011 and future usage data and u9 will be easy to add to sort this. Or I wonder if in the disclaimer it should only note about as far back as 2002. 1997-2002 may require redoing everything again. Simply south...... eating shoes for just 7 years 21:35, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Not a problem - once I've populated the template for each year's worth of data, the templates can be adapted to use any years you like. An optimist on the run!   06:33, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Do you think there could be a way to add extra notes as well? On many lines there are limitations on open and closed stations, duplication (although rare see for example Northern Line Merseyrail) or with London stations with no data (Goblin being a good example, due to essentially travelcard data not being separated). Simply south...... eating shoes for just 7 years 11:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I missed this comment before. I've added the option of overriding a parameter by manually setting u1, u2 etc. See the entry for Backhorse Road in the example above. Hope this helps. An optimist on the run!   14:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
