Template talk:Infobox New York City Subway station

message: I propose that we use the :Image:International Symbol of Access.svg icon to replace the current icon in the infobox. The reason I propose this is because there are no such thing as free replacements for the ISA icon. I have read this from a fairly verbose discussion at a section of the village pump, and it truly makes no sense to use a symbol that hardly anyone will recognize in the public, therefore, using the symbol that does, as there is a lot of subway and bus vehicles and stations that use the decal. Any thoughts? --Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs) 22:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: (edit conflict) Yeah, I was going to say: Has there been a resolution (consensus reached) on that issue? The last I heard, that image was non-free and has not been transcluded on any articles except the one that can justify its inclusion. I am not involved in the debate, but I believe the issue is still contentious. Tinlinkin 06:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe there is any such free image that can replace the "official" one. All the other iimages are made up.  is made up. And made up stuff on WP is a huge no-no. --Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs) 14:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've recently found a link that contains ridership figures for every station including 2006. Is there a way that we can incorporate the same style of Infobox Station's passenger information row and put it in this template? I'm pretty bad with template syntax.

message: How can we made this template usable for the Staten Island Railway stations? Can you give me an example put putting the template on one of the stations. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 22:34, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: At the moment, the template is not quite ready to be used for SIR station pages. Some of the information it demands is not really relevant when discussing the SIR (for instance, "Line" or "Service"). However, it could be easily updated to make these optional. I will work on this in the next few days, and make an example of the Saint George article. Larry V (talk | e-mail) 00:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the SIR stations should receive their own infoboxes and we should create a separate one called "Infobox SIR". I'll ask Larry to see what he can do because I don't know a lot about infobox syntax. —Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs • email) 15:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What's wrong with ? --NE2 17:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess this infobox can work. I'm surprised I didn't know about this before. I would suggest that we can make our own infobox for the SIR that matches the NYCS infobox. But I think the one you suggested could work as well. I also contacted Larry to see what he can do about making a SIR infobox because he knows more about template infobox syntax more than I do. —Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs • email) 19:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What's the rationale for creating a whole new template? Larry V (talk | e-mail) 06:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be better to use a separate infobox for the SIR rather than modify this infobox for another use. This is the NYCS infobox after all. —Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs • email) 16:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Staten Island Railway stations 

message: I have added color boxes to the services for consistency with Template:Rail color box (although I did not implement that template here because of conflicts with styling). I did not add color boxes for the station succession or the transfers as they would look ugly in the current format. What do you think?
Now that there are color boxes in the services, I think the background header colors should be black for all infoboxes. Are there any issues with that? Tinlinkin (talk) 03:31, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Connection 

message: My knowledge is not enough, so I don't want to edit this template myself, but I want to make some improvements:
1. Replace
 | data11   = 
with
 | data11    = 
2. Add a support for a new parameter called 'note'. I want to use it here and here to say:
| note = The MTA defines this platform set as two separate stations
Is there anybody going to perform this work? Thanks in advance. Vcohen (talk) 15:30, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Per a discussion at WT:NYCS, I recently moved the SAS station articles to (Second Avenue Subway) disambiguators and changed the line name to the same in the infoboxes. Does someone know how to change this template to still display the correct line color? The affected articles are listed at that discussion. Thanks!

I guess they are missing map data or coords, and the template should check for this – or it could even supply its own map as they are all in New York. --JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 15:04, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: , yes, but it will have to be done on a subpage e.g. , , etc. Additionally, we have to ensure such a template is simple, because a template that is too large will end up going over the template-size limit, which is when templates on an article start to break.
