minirail

I actually found it quite interesting. I usually barely read articles when I do this commenting out thing but as it happens, I'm from Montreal and went to Île Sainte-Hélène countless times as a kid. I don't remember ever seeing this or even hearing about it. (Then again my memory is about as good as that of a 90 year-old Alzheimer patient) I remember the one in LaRonde (or something like a minirail) but what happened to the rest? If you tell me it's still there and running I'll be really worried about my memory but if it's been dismantled, the article should probably explain this. It's good enough to be moved to mainspace right away but it's best if you add a bit more of the history and beef up the references (possibly using inline citations). Let me know if I can help.

Template:Border icons

Template:Border icons has a couple of missing icons. Since you have done some work on it can you check it out? Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 18:21, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

The Toronto Transit Commission released the new Flexity Outlook pictogram

See here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BvlYc0WIEAACPJn.jpg

What do you think? I believe that it needs significant tweaking, such as adding a pantograph. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 04:07, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

I dunno. If that's the official icon that the TTC is using, then that's what we should go with. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 22:49, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Gray Coach Lines shield.png

Thank you for uploading File:Gray Coach Lines shield.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:59, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00: Source information was removed due to sloppy editing by AndrewNJ when he changed the copyright status. For the record, the complete background of this image is that I drew in Freehand as a .tiff file, measuring it and talking the colours from an original (unused) decal in my collection. The .tiff was then re-saved as a .png and uploaded. That should provide you with enough information to add the correct tags. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 14:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Updated, you can remove the notification, I've struck out as it is now clearly sourced obviously. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:52, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

BTW Please add back any license you want to claim on your contribution...even if the original design is apparently considered PD.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:54, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for taking care of that. Now, all I have to do is find the original .tiff file (which I drew about ten years ago…) AlgaeGraphix (talk) 15:00, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Railways around Oxford

Thanks for the suggestions you made for the work I was doing on the "Railways around Oxford" template in my sandbox. I have taken all of your comments into account, either as you suggested or by reworking parts of the diagram in a different way. I eventually decided to remove most of the water depictions: they were, as you noted, too prominent and I have retained only those directly impacting on the rail infrastructure. The work was in progress when you commented on it; I had stopped over the holiday period, but have now completed it to my own satisfaction. I have managed to add more information from the excellent National Library of Scotland's map archive, a link to which I've included at the bottom of the template. Please feel free to comment more as before; I shall replace the current live version in a week or so. Regards, Bazza (talk) 11:24, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome. It looked like you had some good ideas about where you wanted to go, but weren't sure about what to do next, so I thought a little nudge might help. There's still far too many diagrams left over from the "only 90° turn" era, so it's good to see people working to improve them. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 14:53, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

@C2A06: to bring to your attention that I was not talking about the current shade of Tramways green, but the darker shade that was used by Croydon Tramlink during planning, construction, and the early years. Things did happen before your time. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 04:35, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

P.S. for someone who complains about other editors that always stalk my edits all the time, you seem to be WP:FOLLOWING Useddenim inordinately closely. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 04:35, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Well yes, other editors were wikihounding me so I bought it to ANI (Which is the right thing to do if someone is harassing you, which they were). C2A06 (About • Talk • Edits) 05:50, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

@C2A06: so why are you singling out Useddenim, who has only made one edit this year? Also, I read that ANI report; besides jumping the gun with not trying to talk things out with Praxidicae, you didn't exactly cover yourself with glory. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:02, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I am not wikihounding Useddenim. Wikihounding is when you continuously follow active editors around wherever they go and edit in an attempt to make them feel uncomfortable. I am not stupid enough to be doing any of that rubbish. Let's just move on from this now as no positive outcome will come from this debate. C2A06 (About • Talk • Edits) 14:26, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

(Rhetorical question) And did you even provide any evidence that I am attempting to single out Useddenim? C2A06 (About • Talk • Edits) 08:08, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Template:¡

I’m not sure that {{¡}} is a good idea; from its documentation page it seems to have the same aim as {{pipe}} but producing a Unicode approximation of a vertical bar character and being harder to type. I think it might be better if it was just a redirect to {{pipe}}? To clarify, pipe contains the numeric HTML entity for an ASCII vertical bar, so it is already set up so that it cannot be interpreted in the same way as {{!}}. User:GKFX^talk 19:44, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

@GKFX: A problem with {{pipe}} is that if it's subst'd (and possibly in deeply-nested sub-templates) it'll cause all the same problems that an unescaped | will; the Unicode character won't. Also, ¡ is no harder to type than ! (⌥ Opt+1 vs. ⇧ Shift+1). AlgaeGraphix (talk) 20:31, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

@AlgaeGraphix: (Sorry, I did not receive your ping.) {{pipe}} never causes the problems that an unescaped | would; that is the point of it in contrast to {{!}}. I have put a demo of this at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:GKFX/sandbox&oldid=1003410192; the first example is heavily nested and the second example substed pipe. In both cases the pipe appears fine as intended. As for ease of typing, that’s a mac-specific approach and I would be surprised if the average non-Spanish speaking user could type ¡ on desktop without looking up how to do it.

Mass moves

Have you discussed them with anybody?--Ymblanter (talk) 16:35, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

WP:BEBOLD. I didn't realize I needed your permission, Ymblanter. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 16:47, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok, apparently I need to move all of them back and then you will have to follow WP:BRD. I am not particularly attached to the names, but, unlike you, I asked the Wikiproject when I created the articles, and I followed the advise I have got there. Standartization is a very bad argument, because, for example, Paris and Moscow metro follow the same standard (Foo (Moscow Metro)), and my prediction is that once you start moving these without consensus you will swiftly get a block. Have a nice day.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:51, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

So you're threatening me with a block because you disagree with a dozen page moves? I think this is WP:SOURGRAPES related to your previous disagreement with me at Talk:Rizhsky suburban railway line. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 17:35, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Bucharest metro rdt

Hi AlgaeGraphix, I saw your edits at Template:M1 Line and Template:M3 Line that basically reverted my previous contributions. May I ask you which part of my changes you think wasn't an improvement? Or is the current layout, in your opinion, better in every respect? Thank you in advance for your kind attention. Regards, Yak79 2.0 (talk) 20:27, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

@Yak79 2.0: I changed the diagrams back to the previous style for consistency, to match lines 2, 4 & 5. Also, your versions – line M1 in particular – take up much more space. You're welcome. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 20:58, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

I was going to edit the other three templates as well, and the main goal I was pursuing with my changes is actually... consistency, with other route diagrams in general. As for the space taken by my version of line M1, it was sure rather longer, but the current one is wider and this isn't so good for "infobox" templates - a wider template tend to stretch the infobox at the expense of the text beside. IMHO, the original (and current) style has some substantial flaws:

• using the "color" sets of icons in a single-line template adds inconsistency with other route diagrams and breaks the "set u" for LRT/metro convention without conveying any further information (in contrast to their use for system-wide diagrams);
• the scheme used to show the shared portion of the line, although creative and pleasant, is not the one usually adopted (i.e. the mixed icons with m- prefix);
• for this level of detail (a single-line diagram), differentiating between at-grade, elevated and underground sections is always a boon, even when the specific case is almost uniform in this respect;
• rarefying a bit might take up space, but a close-knit diagram might be less readable.

if you had no objection, I'd restore I'm considering restoring my versions (maybe trying to compact them a bit) and go ahead with the other lines, have you any suggestions/objections? Yak79 2.0 (talk) 21:51, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

@Yak79 2.0: I think my dislike (and yes, I admit to having a bit of WP:IDL) is due to the fact that you're introducing additional unnecessary "clutter" to the diagrams. You are correct in noting that colour overlays typically only appear on system/network diagrams, but interlining on single-route diagrams is normally shown with the other line branching off where the two separate, and the details are explained in the article text. (See how Route 501 and Route 503 appear on each others' diagrams.) As far as I can recall, the only instances that a solid black line is shown adjacent to a track line is to indicate electrification. (See Template:San'in Main Line map, for example.) I hope this clears things up a bit. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:17, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Probably the best example of colour-coded interlining: Template:S-Bahn Zentralschweiz RDT. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:30, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, AlgaeGraphix. I looked at your examples and they fundamentally confirm what I said above: colored icons might be useful for network diagrams (as in Luzern S-Bahn case), but they should never be used for single lines because they unnecessarily add inconsistency, make hard to create and maintain the template and give undue weigh to the interlining. On the other side, I think the commonly adopted approach (as in Toronto cases) fails to properly made readers aware of the occurrence of a shared section, particularly when this section is long and the diagram is rich in other information. So to speak, "color" sets of icons are too much, but I feel that merely showing the other line branching off where the two separate isn’t enough. Hence, looking for a tidy, neat and non-invasive way to highlight the shared section, naturally popped into my head the dimension lines used in technical drawing, and - modesty aside - I think I reproduced them just fine repurposing the “electrification” icons.

I was already working on the M1 diagram on my sandbox, trying to save some space (as you suggested) and to improve compliance with RDT MoS; now I made two alternative draft one with and one without this solution, given that you sound so against it. Unless you have other options to suggest, could the first one be acceptable for you (currently, I really don’t have either the time or the willingness of reaching the wider group of “RDT specialists” for some sort of RfC or similar… maybe I will one day, because I definitively believe my solution for shared sections is ok, or maybe not)? Best regards, Yak79 2.0 (talk) 19:48, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh, there's also a minor matter: I added a pointer to the interchange icon of Basarab station because it's a bit shifted upward, but I'm not sure it's really necessary; I'd need a push to decide whether to remove the pointer or not. Yak79 2.0 (talk) 20:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

One spur swings down northwards over an east-bound spur from the WCML north of Bletchley Low-level, to join the WCML northbound. The error is that the WCML west-to-north spur is showing incorrectly as going under, not over, the WCML south-to-east spur. See OS map. I have almost got it but am completely stuck on one item.

Moving of French railway line articles

Re this move of the Chemins de Fer d'Aire à Fruges et de Rimeux-Gournay à Berck to the new title of Aire–Fruges and Rimeux-Gournay–Berck railway claiming WP:UE.

Your changes to Template:Metro

The changes you've made to Template:Metro have resulted in a huge number of links to disambiguation pages, e.g. Monument station now has almost 80 incoming links. Please fix or revert. Thryduulf (talk) 02:47, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

@Thryduulf: It somehow seems to be related to the fact that all Tyne and Wear Metro stations ‎were renamed from Xxx Metro station to Xxx metro station. I shall have to look into it, and determine a fix. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 04:32, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Eh? They've been at the capitalised Metro station for years - I authored WP:NCUKSTATIONS with it capitalised 2006 based on existing usage. Thryduulf (talk) 10:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Um, I shouldn't writer replies when I'm tired. All the T&MW stations have redirects from "Xxx metro station" to "Xxx Metro station"; however, that raises the question "Why?", particularly given the long drawn-out discussions over downcasing "Station" and "Line" in page titles. With the exception of the aforementioned 60 and slightly less than 200 stations in Iran (Tehran Metro et al.), all other pages ending with "metro station" are in lower case. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:16, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Because Metro is the proper name of the system (it's not just a metro it's the Metro), although the naming convention long predates the obsession with decapitalising and I'm not aware of any requested move discussions. A quick glance through google hits (without vetting for quality) for Monument, Byker, Tynemouth and South Hylton stations shows that the only source that consistently uses lower case is Pintrest, although "Metro Station" is common. When referring to the trains (I wasn't looking specifically, but many of the resultsw were for trains) "Metro" seems pretty universal. (edit: this related the the Tyne and Wear Metro, I've not looked at all regarding Iran). Thryduulf (talk) 18:10, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Oh, I understand the reasoning; and for pages named Xxx station (Yyy Metro), "Metro" is invariably capped. I haven't checked the histories, but I suspect that most—if not all—of the Iranian articles were written by one person who created their own "standard".

Template:RWS

You seem to have nominated a redirect instead of a template. Redirects get nominated at redirects for deletion, not templates for deletion. Was this a mistake on your part? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:58, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@TenPoundHammer: Yes. If you check the page history you'll see that {{RWS}} started out as an independent template (until it became obsolete). AlgaeGraphix (talk) 00:05, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Deletions

I really don't understand why folk spend their time trying to get things on Wikipedia deleted. It's very frustrating. A message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains caught my eye. In better news, I created a new bus article, X7 Coastrider, but I almost feel like I shouldn't draw attention to it in case someone nominates it for deletion! NemesisAT (talk) 15:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

He's obviously a contentious editor who's more interested in knocking down than building up. Unfortunately, I can't think of what to do about him and his single-mindedness about bus route deletions, as his behaviour hasn't been so egregious to warrant an ANI. Or is it enough to ask for a topic ban? AlgaeGraphix (talk) 23:26, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Insult to people of Charlestown

@AlgaeGraphix: Are you aware in your edit summary at the Charlestown Railway Station in County Mayo Ireland that by calling the town a "tiny town" you have thrown what I regard as an insult and personal attack to the people of the town. This would not have been the case of use of the term "small town" but it is the case in my view when "Tiny town" is used. And the proper procedure is to discuss a controversial move from the previous status quo not to force your viewpoint through. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:58, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

"Population (2016): Total 1,033"^{"Sapmap Area: Settlements Charlestown–Bellahy". Census 2016. Central Statistics Office (Ireland).}—straight off its Wikipedia page. And less than half the size of Charlestown, Fife, Scotland, to boot. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 11:44, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Irrelevant given it hosts an International Airport and still no apologies for the insult and the edit warring which is the most important point. Djm-leighpark (talk) 11:54, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Route diagram

Hello, I know you've done a lot of work with route diagram templates so if you have a spare minute could you translate the diagram at zh:符夹铁路 for me? I'm just not sure how to do the formatting, normally I lift them from Chinese Wikipedia, put them in our RDT template shell, and then translate bit by bit. But when I tried that this one I just got a bunch of redlinks. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? The article I created is at Fuliji–Jiahezhai railway. Thank you NemesisAT (talk) 14:32, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

@NemesisAT: {{Fuliji–Jiahezhai railway}} is the best I can do. I was able to translate some of the Chinese by copying the characters from the original ZH:符夹铁路, then pasting into EN:Special:Search and using a little bit of guesswork. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 00:47, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

@AlgaeGraphix:, thank you, I'll have a look. The translation is usually doable for me, but in this case the template wasn't working at all for some reason. Oh well. Thanks again NemesisAT (talk) 22:23, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Template:STIB color/doc

Template:STIB color/doc, with your two rows restored, has style markup being displayed instead of doing something. Since it's important to you to have these rows in the table, please make them work right. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:20, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

@Anomalocaris: Template:STIB color isn't actually in use and is nominated for deletion. The template that is in use, Template:Ligne STIB/Couleur, does not have the bug, so I don't really think there is a problem. User:GKFX^talk 22:23, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Conversions

I have no problem with your conversions but can you please check them for links to disambiguation pages afterwards? Both Template:Wrocław–Poznań railway diagram and Template:Poznań–Skandawa railway now needs fixing. Checking links seems a normal part in such an operation...
