So many, yet so few

We have a huge amount of icons, but I think I never created/improved a diagram that din’t need a new icon. Here’s the latest two examples. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 03:34, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Help me to make for 4 bridge icons

Sorry. Now I have 4 icons for you to make. For like these compounds:

•  (lhSTRrf-R) +  (lhSTR-L)
•  (lhSTRlf-L) +  (lhSTR-R)
•  (lhSTRlg-R) +  (lhSTR-L)
•  (lhSTRrg-L) +  (lhSTR-R)

Now I use these compounds in that topic. Because it CANNOT be shown for these compounds in Railway line header at Cantonese Wikipedia.--PQ77wd (talk) 16:44, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

@PQ77wd: I have made w:yue:Module:Routemap and w:yue:Template:Routemap. Jc86035 (talk) 05:42, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

@Jc86035: ：多謝嗮。因為前幾日發現粵維，嗰隻{{BS-overlap}}居然唔支持三疊相，後嚟我改成另一支持三疊相嘅模，發現之後啲模修正咗唔支持三疊相噉嘅BUG。--PQ77wd (talk) 06:07, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

New road junction icons

Arg SergioCarp, did you mean to upload an icon showing a junction of two roads instead of  (MWENTexk4) (which shows a road and a closed railway)? Jc86035 (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

@Useddenim and Tuvalkin: Assuming the icons are reuploaded as k-type junctions between two roads, how would they be named? Per  (RMCONTg) I think the icon above, if it were a RM-only junction, would be kRMABZg+4, but I'm not sure what the icons are supposed to show in the diagrams on Arg SergioCarp's eswiki sandbox page. If the roads are different, I'm not sure if there's precedent (since all the current road junction icons with a sensible naming scheme are at-grade 90° crossings). If the curve is supposed to be a slip road like the ones in  (MWEXlgrgo) I have no idea what they would be called under the current naming scheme (I don't think there's precedent; n could be used for the slip roads but then they might combine to form an RM without the centre stripe?). Note also the roads in the linked diagrams using railway icons with various other types of track geometry. Jc86035 (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

If it were up to me, I would delete all road icons except the generic RP/RD set. Useddenim (talk) 16:29, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Given that that's probably not a very realistic option (especially since it would require the agreement of users from all the projects which currently use the seven other road icon types), [how] would you rename/reupload Arg SergioCarp's RM icons? Jc86035 (talk) 16:40, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Two things need to be standardized: the naming (see User:Circeus/BSicon_renaming/Red for a start), and the colours and geometry (see Talk:BSicon/Icon geometry and SVG code neatness/Archive 3#Red roads). Useddenim (talk) 17:07, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

New Legend Miscellaneus Icons

Hi! Thanks for all the icons of BSicon! But, I need SVGs simillars to these examples:

Request for some elevated icons

Would anyone like to help me create the icons  (hSTR2+4h) and  (hSTR2h+4h)? Similar to  (STR2+4h) and  (STR2h+4h), but elevated. Thanks in advance. --Arnie97 (talk) 20:29, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Half width crossings

I'm planning to create several half-width crossing icons, but I wanted clarification on the naming convention first. Would these be the correct names?

•  (udKRZ1), the combo of  (udSTR) and  (udSTRm+1). Based off of  (udKRZ1o) and  (udKRZ1u), except this would be a flat junction.
•  (udKRZ2), the combo of  (udSTR) and  (udSTR2+m). Same as above.
•  (udKRZ3), the combo of  (udSTR) and  (udSTR3+m). Same.
•  (udKRZ4), the combo of  (udSTR) and  (udSTRm+4). Same.
• and so on for d-, exd-, and uexd- suffixes.

epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Correct. Useddenim (talk) 02:35, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

All right, I will create these later. epicgenius (talk) 15:06, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Directional compass icons

@Jc86035, Useddenim, and Tuvalkin: Is it feasible to create compass icons like  (numN000), but for different intervals other than 45-degree intervals? E.g.  (numN030),  (numN060). epicgenius (talk) 17:08, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

 Done. Useddenim (talk) 18:33, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

@Useddenim: Thank you for your uploads. Would  (numN015),  (numN075),  (numN105), etc. also be OK to upload? epicgenius (talk) 21:51, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Probably overkill, but okay by me if you want to go ahead and do it. Useddenim (talk) 11:56, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

@Useddenim: OK, I'll upload these files later, then. There are some specific-station route maps on enwiki that are accurate only to the nearest 15 degrees, hence why I wanted to request these icons. epicgenius (talk) 14:21, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Double-Width Water Crossing

Hello, I noticed that while the  (hbKRZWae) symbol is here (and seems to be used fairly frequently),  (hbKRZWa) and  (hbKRZWe) are not usable. Is it possible for someone to fix this please? Sorry, I am unsure how to insert the actual icons onto this page, but the first is a bridge over a double-width waterway, while the two missing icons are the beginning and end of such a bridge. --TheFinkie (talk) 06:53, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

If you don't use one of the BS templates its also possible to put them in as if they were photos. All icons are uploaded as svg files, and to embed them you only have to add BSicon_ before and .svg after the icon's name. To add the missing ones is no big problem, but I'll do that tomorrow. – C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ /talk/lab/de/en 22:23, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

By the way, another method to embed icons into wiki pages is with the bsq template. Now I uploaded the requested two icons plus two others with abandoned tracks:  (hbKRZWa),  (hbKRZWe),  (exhbKRZWa), and  (exhbKRZWe). hbKRZWe I uploaded with a false name, that's why it doesn't show up here. A renaming is requested and will happen soon I hope. – C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ /talk/lab/de/en 16:43, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! --TheFinkie (talk) 03:15, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I also noticed that the middle piece ( (hbKRZW)) is not present either... --TheFinkie (talk) 04:31, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Surface line/tunnel diagonal crossings

Hello, can someone with SVG skills (which I lack) please create a new family of icons on which a surface line and a tunnel cross diagonally? If I am not mistaken, these would be the tKRX and KRXt families. The one I'd like to use right now would be, I think, the umKRXt icon: a top left to bottom right U line crossing over a top right to bottom left rail tunnel. But others could be useful, too. Rontombontom (talk) 23:59, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

You can create  (umKRXt)  by overlaying: tSTR3+1!~uSTR2+4. Useddenim (talk) 04:45, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Oh! Thanks, didn't figure out overlays yet... Rontombontom (talk) 07:30, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Parallel highway icons

I'd like to have vRAq, dvRAq and vRA : I'm working on the scheme of Line 25N (Belgium) which is built directly on a highway median.

By the way, an adaptation of  (SKRZ-Ao) and  (KRZvo) could be useful to build overbridges over parralel highways too.

--Stratoswift (talk) 12:33, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Stratoswift: Have you considered using the generic roadway equivalents for your diagram?  (vRP2q),  (dvRP2q),  (vRP2) &  (SKRZ-Gv2o) . Useddenim (talk) 17:06, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Actually, this could be an alternative but it would make the scheme more complex since the railway line I'm working on crosses several other highways using the red and yellow symbols. The highway with a railway line on its median is on this scheme, fr:Schéma de la ligne 25 (Infrabel)) between mileposts 15,90 and 17,60

Line start / end for narrow elevated shifted forward / backward (Formation)

I haven't found anything on the catalog fitting with  (hdSTRa),  (hdSTR)... that would can be used for narrow elevated like we use  (lhSTRa@f) or  (lhSTRe@g) for full-width elevated. Are-there matching icons or do they need to be created ?

--Stratoswift (talk) 13:08, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the 250px wide narrow elevated hdSTR… icons don't match the standard elevated geometry, where the formations are located ±125 pixels from the centreline. So, "no". Useddenim (talk) 17:10, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Could always add them. Sometimes though, I feel it would be better to just make the diagram a bit bigger than to add in irregular icons, but the existance of the hdSTR icons I suppose demands ends.User:Deonyi 11:58, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

First icon, advice needed

I just uploaded  (lBHF~F maroon), my first icon (and image) on Commons, and am unsure how to add to the catalogs and how to proceed. Ideas? –Ben79487 (talk) 02:43, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

@Ben79487: Go to BSicon/Catalogue, look for the particular sub-page where you think the icon should be. If it's not already there, add a row to the appropriate section. If it's incorrect, someone will fix it in due course. Useddenim (talk) 17:49, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Two icons needed

For use in the article de:Metro Sydney I need  (uexmtABZg+l),  (uexmtABZgr) as derivatives of  (uxmtABZg+l) and  (uxmtABZgr). Thanks for anyone able to create these. --Metrophil (talk) 19:39, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Done, that was an easy job. But when I look into the catalogue it seems many others are missing too. Maybe something to do later. – C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ /talk/lab/de/en 23:40, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Dead-end sidings

A thanks to Useddenim for streamlining en:Template:Zig Zag Railway Route (where I used the diagonal crossing requested above)!

I have one problem with it, however. On that line, there is a former passing loop that is now just a single point and a dead-end track to park vehicles on. I drew this using uSPLa and uxSPLe, which Useddenim replaced with an uPSLl that indicates an intact passing loop. There are similar dead-end sidings on some mountain railways in South America (where ascending trains drop off some wagons when trains prove too heavy) and on other mountain lines to temporarily park special vehicles like snowplows, so mine mustn't be the only possible application.

If not in existence, can you create icons for such dead-end sidings, including ones showing a former full siding (somewhat similar to YRDxe)? Rontombontom (talk) 14:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Rontombontom:  (uPSLlxe) (et al.) now exist. Useddenim (talk) 20:05, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Great, thanks! Rontombontom (talk) 20:32, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Useddenim, just wondering. Why is this prefered over overlaying  (uePSLl) and  (uPSLle) to get  ? —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:49, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

@Andrybak: Neither uPSLlxe nor uPSLle existed before Useddenim uploaded them in February. It usually makes sense to use the fewest overlays necessary, primarily because they increase the complexity of the diagram. Jc86035 (talk) 07:39, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Make "usual" icons instead of tunnel ones

Hi there! I was looking for BS icons that have parallel to single + parallel to corner + crossing combined and found this category: Category:BSicon/railway/parallel lines/tunnel/uw/shift/one quarter/crossing/curve. I would've used overlays if I'd found an appropriate bridge formation icon (which I hadn't) Could anyone please edit those files to make them solid #be2d2c (the color of STR)?

xPSL

moved from Talk:BSicon/Catalogue/straight tracks

The ePSL icon series shows a line with a siding on which the siding has been closed but through track remains open, but there are no icons in the xPSL series. This series would show a line with a siding on which the siding remains with the through tracks having been closed, & it would be useful, when overlaid with its mirror image & 2 station icons, in showing stations which formerly had central through tracks which have since been removed, such as Cheam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. British12 (talk • contribs) 16:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Pink request

Good afternoon. Please create the following icons in pink:

• continuation/curve  (CONTf+l). And preferably a full set of Category:BSicon/railway/continuation/curve
• station  (ODICr). Preferably with e/ex prefix:  (eODICr),   (eODIClr)  (exODICl),  (exODICr) and  (exODIClr)

--91.193.176.49 14:44, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

• Wait, what? You guys come up with designs and names that go against the established practice and now ask the keepers of that established practice pretty please create icons to fit your specific designs and names? Not good. Here’s a better idea: Use the standard ones instead. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 16:00, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

AlgaeGraphix (talk) 16:06, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

• @Tuvalkin: I think it would be possible to bring them into the standard naming scheme (possibly with minor design changes to make them slightly more like the  (BL) icons). I think it would ultimately be less disruptive than trying to replace and delete all of these icons, since they've now been in use for more than three years. I would use the renaming of the CPIC set to XBHF/XINT/XACC as a model for this group of icons. (Only eleven capital letters are currently used as prefixes, so B and O would be available for BL and ODIC respectively.) Jc86035 (talk) 17:07, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

• That’s nice of you, but meh. These guys insist that  (CPIC) is not good for their diagrams for reasons and therefore we have not only to accept a separate group of icons with the same semantics, but even to create the icons they are unwilling or unable to create. That’s how we cater to those who never did anything to improve the project overall. On the other hand, we as a project team went ahead to create and implement new ways to do some things, some times against the express wishes of some of us (at least mine), and for that there was no leniency and all bow to progress and to uniformity. (I mean: the syntax of Routemap, the naming of horizontal parallel lines, the color of ACC roundels, the color of black lines, the double meaning of "g", the forced homogenization of experimental names in road icons, etc.) So I’ll say again: Meh. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 17:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
• Not to mention that another “imposition” from a specific project, the de.wp O-green color for trolleybuses, was actually rejected by us (and rightly so, I say). Why should/did wp.ru get/got a different treatment and have/has its way? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 18:42, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

• Another idea: Lets create a whole bunch of nLSTR_grey line icons, which can be misused at will, overlaid on station icons to ape  (CPIC). -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 17:23, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@Tuvalkin: Don't you mean exLBL icons? AlgaeGraphix (talk) 17:35, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

And while we're messing things up, let's change GRZ to tBL! AlgaeGraphix (talk) 17:37, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, and that exposes the fact that considering things like  (WASSER),  (GRZ), and  (CPIC) (and maybe even  (RP2)) as if they were exactly the same as  (STR) or  (STR_saffron) (et c.) might not be a 100% good idea.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand. I saw in the BS template an icon of a onground transfer under construction to the right and asked to create the same one on the left side. And the simple arrow. What is the problem? --91.193.176.42 01:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it used to be common to discuss things like this, but in the interest of not confusing future editors: I've swapped around eight icons which were uploaded with incorrect titles by Imperator3733 in 2015 and then renamed incorrectly to their current titles by me in 2017. The four swapped pairs are:

•  (eSPLr+2) and  (xSPLr+2)
•  (eSPLl+4) and  (xSPLl+4)
•  (ueSPLr+2) and  (uxSPLr+2)
•  (ueSPLl+4) and  (uxSPLl+4)

The reason that the titles were incorrect is that the primary/secondary convention for parallel tracks that start at a corner and finish at a side is based on the corner and not the side, c.f.  (evSTR2+r) and  (evSTRl+4). Typically it would be more appropriate to do a set of round-robin renames for each pair, but I just uploaded over the existing titles since none of the icons were in use in diagrams.

New icons by AlgaeGraphix

@AlgaeGraphix: Having looked at your more recent BSicon uploads, I think there are some things that would be worth discussing, mainly since the pertinent conventions haven't really been established yet. In reverse chronological order:

•  (utPSLra) and similar:
  • The tunnel dashes aren't aligned with the buffer stop rectangle (that is, the rectangle doesn't appear to be centered). I think the dashes should probably be moved, but it would also be possible to move the rectangle.
  • Some existing icons, like  (utPSLa), use 50px dashes for singled tunnels. The majority of icons where this is relevant do use 40px, though.

That's what happens when you design icons in a rush or when you're tired. I started with an existing PSL icon and just carried on from there, but I have no objection to adjustments. I would suggest centering the block onto the line and leaving the line geometry the same as for the non-tunnel versions (which might also need to be checked for positioning).

•  (tvSTR3e):
  • Parallel tunnel icons, including  (utvSTR+1a), have tended to use a smooth curve for the tunnel portal. I think it would be appropriate to keep doing that here.
  • The typical large portal stroke width is 60px, not 50px. It would be possible to change that, as YLSS attempted to some years ago, but it would involve thousands of reuploads.

I drew that from scratch; I should have looked harder for an existing icon to adapt. Mea culpa.

•  (exlGRZr):
  • Useddenim did try to rename the GRZ and lGRZ series, but didn't manage to do it consistently and didn't get around to fixing it (see 1, 2). I think using the M prefix for these would be better than using the l prefix.

I missed those two discussions, but I agree that MGRZ is better than lGRZ. (Note to self: add to "To do" list.)

•  (hSHI1ra) and similar:
  • I personally prefer to do all of the coordinates to two decimal places. You can approximate sections of Bézier curves fairly well by using Inkscape's stroke-to-path and intersection functions; the stroke-to-path function is fairly erratic but I've found that increasing the number of nodes on the path (that is, selecting all nodes and then inserting new nodes) before using that function makes it a lot more accurate.
  • The angles in the formations are off.  (hSTRa) uses 50 down and 70 across. Inkscape should help here, since it'll calculate the coordinates for you and you can measure the angle that the lines need to be rotated by.

I don't have Inkscape, as I use a Mac. Icons are already 500 pixels – is it really really necessary for 1/50,000 precision? I will make sure to follow the 50/70 formation ends from now on.

@AlgaeGraphix: I've been using Inkscape on a Mac for about seven years. It was necessary to use XQuartz until a few months ago, but the 1.0 beta finally runs natively. It's not really necessary to use that precision, but it does basically eliminate the chance that otherwise well-drawn icons will have visual problems at 500px, and it allows a tolerance for slight geometric differences between icons (especially for icons with diagonal parallel lines). For mass uploads and reuploads it also reduces the chance that someone in the future reuploads the images all over again in order to increase the precision of the coordinates. (For what it's worth, YLSS used two decimal places for stroke-dasharray and one decimal place for everything else. I've used two decimal places for all of my uploads, excluding some elevated station icons where I used three decimal places.) Jc86035 (talk) 10:45, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

•  (exvSTR-STR+rgo) and similar:
  • The formations for these icons needed to be redone as well.
  • As with the other icons using 375px-radius curves, the f and g suffixes should probably be replaced here, but how to do this is unclear since the . operator might not currently be defined in a way that allows it to be used (compare  (uSTR+r.G) and  (uSTR+r~G)). Useddenim didn't implement . awfully consistently, so it's probably worth redefining it at some point.

There's not a lot of room to play with here for the formation. A composite of  (exdKRZu-)& (exdSTR+r-) doesn't have the same elegance, and the curve name was based on  (exv-STR+rg).

@AlgaeGraphix: If the standard small formation shape doesn't fit at all (I haven't tested it yet), there's always the possibility of using ~FF/~LL icons to show the parts beyond the edges.

The name you picked is perfectly fine at the moment. I did suggest renaming these curves, but nothing has come of that so far. Jc86035 (talk) 10:45, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

•  (uxtdABZql):
  • Typically the mask of closed tunnel tracks shouldn't affect any open tunnel tracks. Normally this would require two masks, but here one would suffice since the closed track can be drawn without a mask.
  • The dashes should be consistent. That said, I've never liked the tdSTRq dashes, which is why I've generally avoided these icons.
  • I would be fine with switching from elliptical curves to circular curves for these icons, but it should be done consistently.

I've fixed the masking. There is a need for tdSTRq icons, so I go with something that looks right to me. Changing elliptical to circular curves is one of my long-term projects, but because of the number of icons involved it's not something I'm rushing to do.

•   (HUB4f) and similar:
  • The f suffix is no longer being used this way in other icons. This is fine for the HUB icons, since the suffixes are all generally idiosyncratic, but perhaps there would be something better.

•  (uexKRW3+r) and similar:
  • Where this is used, a rotated  (dSTR23) would probably work better, but I don't know if it's possible to name it. .f might work; as noted, the . suffixes generally need to be refined a little.
  • This is obviously not a standard KRW icon. In this discussion I proposed making icons which would connect in this way (that is, at an angle of 26.6°), and in this discussion I suggested repurposing the j prefix to do so. This would be fairly complex because of the number of possible lines (which would massively increase due to the increase to nine line orientations for every connection point from the current two to four), so I haven't revisited it since then, but it could be worth creating some of these.

•  (ud-STRl+1):
  • YLSS used a different shape for  (v-STR4). I think the one-circular-arc-with-the-largest-possible-radius method generally works well, so I'd be inclined to keep using it here.

•  (vRP2HST):
  • Is this naming a good idea?  (ZTRl) and  (vISLAND) exist, as does  (bRP2-8r), so it might be better to draw influence from those instead.
  • The stroke-dasharray should be recalculated.

I'd emphasize that this is not intended as criticism, even if it might seem a little like it; I see this more as a useful opportunity to improve the existing naming and geometry conventions. (The pace has dropped quite a bit, since Useddenim has been completely inactive since August and I've been spending a lot less time around here as well.) Jc86035 (talk) 14:26, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

@AlgaeGraphix: I forgot to mention  (mv-3STRq). This actually doesn't use the correct parallel lines syntax (which I think would be something like -u3STRq-3STRq). I'm also not sure if parallel 3 curves actually need to be used, considering that it's possible to instead use the outer vSTRl curve and the inner kSTR2 curve, as I did at w:en:Template:Overground RDT (although in fairness  (kvSTR3~r) didn't actually exist when I wrote the original comment above). Jc86035 (talk) 09:34, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

New icons by Vunz

@Vunz: How do these narrow lines icons fit into the standard naming schemes? w is nominally used as a prefix already because of  (w), so it would be better to use a different letter for a new prefix, and I think it would make more sense to extend the n prefix syntax. (If you were using w to indicate triple parallel lines, I've been using vv for that for a while.)  (uexABZngn2) provides a useful precedent and I've renamed some of the icons in the category based on that syntax, but I'm not sure about the others. Jc86035 (talk) 17:47, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

@Jc86035: I'm totally in favour of a consequent naming convention. The vv prefix was unknown to me, I'll make sure to use a more convenient naming convention. Vunz (talk) 15:51, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@Vunz: Okay. I think the main outstanding issue would be that we don't have a way to indicate that a track is only narrow between two junctions – perhaps we could use nn for that, similar to the LL convention.

We also don't really have a good way to name complex junctions like  (wÜSTr) (nnvSPLer+nvSTRoa?). There have been icons like  (utvJCTgu+l) and  (uexbvÜSTB), but I'm not really sure how we would proceed with naming these. Jc86035 (talk) 18:37, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

I think   (JCT) was used to designate a JunCTion that didn't fit any standard configuration. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 00:33, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Although  (utvJCTgu+l) could possibly be renamed something along the lines of  (utSPLa+l)? AlgaeGraphix (talk) 00:36, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

@AlgaeGraphix: In this case I think we would use vÜST since there are four junctions. Useddenim uploaded  (vÜSTl+gr), which is probably named correctly and would be applicable here, but without a prefix like nn we would probably still be using 100px-width lines like with  (tvÜST). (Even with the prefix we still wouldn't be able to specify the exact orientation of the junction – unless we were to limit possible icons to these specific orientations – because of the other potential permutations of ways in which the narrow lines could be positioned and could cross over each other.) We also don't really have a standard geometry for narrow line crossings, and we don't seem to have a solidified convention for whether or not they need formations (we have both  (ÜWBl) and  (FOWl)).

Vunz also uploaded most of the icons in this category, and I actually renamed some of them at one point, but I don't know if they should be renamed as well. Most of the icons also use opaque white masks instead of transparent ones.

This is generally an area which would clearly benefit from some standardization, but it might be hard to build on what there currently is because of how disorganized it is. It could be better to just make up a new convention entirely and reupload and rename everything. Jc86035 (talk) 14:47, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm also not sure how  (ldBHF-R-) and  (ld-BHF-L) would be named. I understand the purpose (to match a narrow line with a 25px offset), but there isn't an existing naming scheme that would fit them. The option that would make the most sense to me would be to implement my proposal to extend the ~L/~R suffixes to allow for additional fractions (e.g.  (vSTR1~r~6F) has a shift by a sixth of the icon height), so we would have either dBHF~7/10R or dvBHF-~5R. (The l suffix might be optional since the track wouldn't be visible.) The other option based on recent proposals would be to revive the extended  (mSTR yellow~teal) syntax (i.e. dvBHF-~), but the tildes could pose problems since the Routemap syntax wouldn't allow them to be used consecutively. (I also find it more limiting than the more recent proposal.) Jc86035 (talk) 19:08, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@Vunz: I don't think the use of vv for  (dvvÜST+l) makes sense, since parallel lines are separated by 250px and not 125px. I would probably have named it dvSTR+ndSTR+lo. Jc86035 (talk) 17:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Also, I think it might have made more sense to name  (dSHI2+lm) etc. as either dABZm+3f or dABZ1+mf~G, based on dSTR3+m, but I don't know if it makes to use the m suffix with either SHI2 or ABZ because it was previously only used with STR. (The SHI2 geometry isn't supposed to have an intersection at the midpoint, so I would have taken the name and geometry from  (dSTR+1~F) and similar.) Jc86035 (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Water course non-navigable & Junction/Lake/Reservoir

{{BS}} code example
Single paired icon {{BS|uvWASSER-STR}} Regular icon overlaid with narrow icon {{BS|uv-STR|O1=dWASSER}} Two half-width icons {{BS2|dWASSER|udSTR}}

{{Routemap}} code example
Single paired icon uvWASSER-STR Regular icon overlaid with narrow icon uv-STR!~dWASSER Two half-width icons dWASSER\udSTR

Dear all, I'm looking for this  (uvWASSER-STR), but with a junction instead of STR like here  (uvSTR-ABZg+l). So this would be a   (uvWASSER-ABZg+l). Similar I'm looking for   (uvABZg+r-WASSER).

Similar to above request I'm looking for this  (uvWASSER-STR), but with a lake/reservoir instead of STR like here  (uvSTR-BHF). So this would be a   (uvWASSER-BHF). Similar I'm looking for   (uvBHF-WASSER).

I use the icons for describing power plant schemes.--Pechristener (talk) 03:10, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Pechristener: As a work-around, you can use half-width icons (with a d prefix), or single-parallel + half-width:

(uvWASSER-ABZg+l)	(uv-ABZg+l※ dWASSER)	(dWASSER) (udABZg+l)
(uvWASSER-BHF)	(uv-BHF※ dWASSER)	(dWASSER) (udBHF)
(uvBHF-WASSER)	(v-WASSER※ udBHF)	(udBHF) (dWASSER)

AlgaeGraphix (talk) 03:56, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@AlgaeGraphix, sorry, I do not understand, how this half-width icons work. Is there somewhere an instruction?--Pechristener (talk) 05:08, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Pechristener: I don't remember if it's explained anywhere, so here's an explanation.

The RDT templates, the BS series (BS-map) and Routemap, allow icons to be overlaid, so for example in Routemap tSTRq!~STR puts STR above tSTRq. If those icons are not the same width, for example STRq!~dSTR, the icons only share a left border (that is, they are both aligned based on their left edge, and their right edges will be at different positions).

In this case, because the objects don't overlap, you can actually use the half-width icons without overlaying them, e.g. by using  (udBHF) to the left of  (dWASSER). In Routemap, this would be exactly the same as using uvBHF-WASSER; in BS-map, this would be the same except for increasing the BS template number by one (e.g. {{BS3}} instead of {{BS2}}), as well as the number of some of the overlay parameters (e.g. |O6= instead of |O5=). Jc86035 (talk) 09:37, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Thx, I think, I got it. Did not check, that I have to take {{BS3}} instead of {{BS2}}.--Pechristener (talk) 11:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Pechristener, I've added a code example to illustrate what we mean. In all three cases the results are the same, but achieved in different ways. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 12:29, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

AlgaeGraphix, thx for the example.--Pechristener (talk) 13:40, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

AlgaeGraphix, do you know if the overlay function is working in the German Wikipedia?--Pechristener (talk) 19:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Pechristener: You will have to use {{Routemap}} instead of {{BS-map}} because de:Vorlage:BS-table doesn't support overlays. I have added the appropriate code examples. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 20:14, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

New ABZ icons for parallel lines

I'd like to upload a couple of BSicons I draw, but I'm not sure how to label them: one is   (from  (uexSTR) +  (uSTRlg+lf)) and the other is   (from  (uexSTR) +  (uSTRrg+rf)); as far as I know, currently there are no icons of this kind (at least, I wasn't able to find any of them). Could someone tell me their correct name? Kind regards Yak79 2.0 (talk) 11:30, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Tuvalkin, thank you answering. I might go with the ABC+XYZ option in the end, but I'll put it on hold for a while: I feel in this specific case it'd be a rather subpar choice, because it wouldn't convey the fact that it's a junction (hence my guess about the ABZ root); besides this, what do you mean with "have you considered k-icons for this?". Regards Yak79 2.0 (talk) 18:30, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

This (red icons there →) is k-icons at work: Curves more elegant; takes up more space, though. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 01:49, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Based on  (vABZqrl), its seems that the names sought could be:

•  (uevABZl+gf) 
•  (uevABZr+gf) 

Better opinions needed! -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 23:55, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

@Tuvalkin: IMO the small junctions should be e.g. uxABZgl-ABZg+l, particularly since ABZ icons almost always use the g suffix differently to STR icons (in addition to the horizontal parallel lines syntax issue). I think it would also be better to use e.g. kvSTR+1~l for the single parallel k-curves, since the  (kvSTR2-) series already exists. Jc86035 (talk) 10:14, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Cannot say I agree with entirely the former, for well known reasons, but thanks for your input and go ahead with any needed renamings. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 03:52, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I've renamed the files.

@Yak79 2.0: Courtesy notification, since Tuvalkin responded above. Jc86035 (talk) 15:14, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

@Tuvalkin and Jc86035: A simpler naming would follow the pattern used for crossings and junctions with narrow lines:  (uxABZvl+l)  and  (uxABZvr+r) . AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:25, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@AlgaeGraphix: What about  (STR+l-STRl) +  (STR), or  (vSTRlf-) +  (vSTR+lg-) +  (vSTR-)? Would they default to the longer names? (Incidentally,  (vABZq+rl) already exists, but obviously the naming system prevents it from just being rotated.)

I think in general this group of icons (that is, all of the 90° curves connecting to parallel lines) could use a renaming, but just directly using the ~l/~r and ~L/~R syntax could come at the cost of readability (especially for the icons with two separate lines), so I've sort of avoided the topic of renaming them for a while. This is in spite of the fact that the names clearly don't fit with other icons; they're now the only ones to use the f and g suffixes for forward/back, and there are a bunch of other ad hoc syntax extensions in the same vein for some of the related icons (like  (uvSTRelf),  (vABZ+ra-STR+la),  (vABZgl-STRl), ...).

Vaguely possible options (which aren't mutually exclusive):

• Renaming everything using standard ABZ syntax, standard parallel lines syntax and the tilde suffixes (no v suffix, no swapping l/r suffixes to indicate positions, no f/g suffixes).  (v-STRlf) would become vSTRl~l~F.  (vSTRlf-) would become vSTRl~r.  (vABZq+rl) would become vABZq+r-ABZq+l. This would have the disadvantage of making names harder to read.
• Extending the SPL, vÜWB, vÜST... syntax (à la  (vÜSTl+gr) or the old  (vSTRgl) format) – or creating new roots based on e.g. ABZ/WYE syntax – to the point that the roots cover all the options.  (v-STRlf) would become v-SPLal~r or -SPLel~l.  (vSTRlf-) would still become vSTRl~r.  (vABZq+rl) would become v[ROOT]f+lr. It would be harder to name some icons that only have one line and icons with curves that have crossing formations.

Jc86035 (talk) 15:32, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

 (vABZq+rl) could simply be   (ABZqv+lr). The more complex  (STR+l-STRl) and   could be STRvXl+l and ABZvXl+l respectively—as opposed to (STRvl+l) and  (ABZvl+l) —with X signifying "(a)cross(ing)" as in  (KRX) and  (XBHF-L). As far as the other renamings, yes, it's a good idea, but would need to be developed more. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 15:57, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you! No vertical shift, you raised the transversal line from to , and it works. I didn’t try it because I thought a simple would conflict with — but it doesn’t:   /  . Yay!

As for your question «por que não {{Routemap}}?», well, it’s because I cannot use it — I tried and my brain just cannot take it. It’s a UI nightmare, for me, at least. Pipes are supposed to be the separators, one cannot unlearn that overnight and accept any other random character. Whenever a given diagram is “upgraded” to Routemap, I stop mantaining it, and when some day the old style templates stop working, I will stop creating and mantaining BS-icon diagrams.

Non-canal navigable waterways

I was thinking about doing some diagrams of navigable natural waterways, such as the Columbia/Snake and Mississippi/Ohio port systems. I have an idea for representing these natural and navigable waterways, and wanted to get some feedback on my idea. Given that canals are based on  (uSTR), and non-navigable natural waterways have  (WASSER), I was thinking about creating variants of  (uWASSER), using the dark blue color of the "u" prefix, but the geometry of WASSER elements for these navigable, natural waterways. Any thoughts or opinions? VanIsaac (en.wiki) 21:35, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Dark blue WASSER icons would certainly be of use at w:Template:Oxford area RDT, where the River Isis (natural and navigable) is a blue that is paler than that of its tributary Sheepwash Channel (artificial and navigable). --Redrose64 (talk; at English Wikipedia) 17:51, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

I have not devised a naming scheme for WECHSEL or BRÜCKE icons yet. Both of them use the "uW" prefix for separate WASSER and "u" lines interacting, rather than WASSER geometry with "u" coloring. If you have a suggestion on those names, I would gladly welcome the input. PS, I have some estuaries, jetties, and lock/dam combinations uploaded now. VanIsaac (en.wiki) 05:06, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

  @AlgaeGraphix:   (uRESVGDa) = Full reservoir/large lake, with dam/weir outlet to bottom (Yarrawonga Weir). The lake area at the top of the weir is navigable by a paddle boat in the lake (so needs to be u- #003399 ) and the river below the weir is part of the main section of the river that is also navigable. Following the legend on this page Wiki Template:Waterways legend, the correct icon should be   (uRESVGDa).

Inclined planes

I needed two icons for inclined planes for the Lancaster Canal Tramroad. I have therefore uploaded   (exPLANEd) and   (exPLANEu), based on  (uPLANEd) and  (uPLANEu), but with the colour changed from waterways blue to dead railway pink. I have not yet added them to the waterways icons page, and have put them in Category:Icons for canal descriptions. I wondered if they should go in a railway category instead, and therefore on a railway page. Bob1960evens (talk) 22:42, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Because of their colour they should go into a Category:BSicon/railway… Over the years we've found that icons get used to represent things in manners undreamt of by their creators. (Although I personally use  (STR※ LOCK3u)  to represent an inclined plane.) Useddenim (talk) 23:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Me too:  (uPLANEu) &c. look really bad. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 17:10, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
