:I found a reference to this in New town, but I didn't see anything in this article.  Is it true? --  timc  talk   19:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: move. 
*Rename: Yorkton, Saskatchewan → Yorkton
This appears to be the primary use for the term Yorkton. Per WP:CANSTYLE, it should take the undisambiguated title, which currently redirects to the city. A hatnote may be necessary to lead readers to Yorkton Securities (if it merits its own article) or Yorkton (N.W.T. electoral district), but otherwise there appear to be no conflicts. (A dab page will be needed, since seveal electoral districts and sports clubs include the name, or use it as the common name.) Mindmatrix 19:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Rename page

message: Starting to convert listing format to prose format with citations, and add sections using WP cities guidelines and WP settlements how to for a guide where applicable.SriMesh | talk 18:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Some sections still need paragraph type expansion in this article along with citations.SriMesh | talk 01:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Additions and renovations

message: Discussion started regarding Saskatchewan Roughriders.  As this is a provincial team, it should be on the provincial article, Saskatchewan.  Some folks feel it should also be on every city and town article page as well.  Some folks feel only the notable native sports players should be on the individual town and city article pages.  Is there any other input on this?SriMesh | talk 01:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sports teams

message: The article states that Yorkton is located in the Cypress Hills Forested area, but Yorkton is located clear on the other longitudinal end of the province from the Cypress Hills. What's up? I think I'll remove this if I don't receive a response in the next few days.  1brettsnyder (talk) 05:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Yorkton is located in the Cypress Hills Forested area?

message: WP:FAMRES indicates that everyone in this section doesn't actually belong there. Surely someone from Yorkton is notable but this list of people has to go. I will verify the list prior to deleting names but so far I don't see anyone that qualifies to stay.--Daffydavid (talk) 01:48, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable Yorktonites 

message: The rail section appears to describe old rail lines that once served the city.  Is this noteworthy?   What are the current rail lines serving Yorkton?  -- Kayoty (talk) 17:49, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Currently CPR mainline and CNR branch line go through Yorkton. I glanced at the rail section and it is indeed a mess but I'll look at fixing it later. --Daffydavid (talk) 06:32, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe someone can make use of these when updating the rail section: *https://www.cn.ca/en/our-business/our-network/maps *http://www.cpr.ca/en/about-cp/cp-network/Documents/cp-map-2012.pdf Techgod (talk) 01:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the reference Techgod. I was able to use the CN network map (in your first reference) on the rail section. The interactive map  shows both CN and CP stations in Yorkton and could be used on many other related pages.-- Kayoty (talk) 08:28, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Very nice Kayoty, I had hoped to have a written reference but this will do fine. --Daffydavid (talk) 19:46, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

text: Glad it was helpful Kayoty.  Techgod (talk) 03:41, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Historical population of Yorkton 

message: I have entered Yorkton at Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/Assessment asking for a new quality rating assessment. The page is now start class. A new rating may bring it up to C or possibly even B class which would be quite an achievement for this collaborative effort. -- Kayoty (talk) 06:16, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: All the recent work seems to be paying off.  Looks the reassessment saw the article upgraded to a C!

thread_title:  Yorkton quality rating assessment 

message: I am curious about the portion of the article referring to the highway network, is "The Trans Canada highway" in reference to the Yellowhead highway?  If so why is the Yellowhead listed twice?  Hwy 1 does not appear to travel through the city.Techgod (talk) 05:21, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed the sentence to indicate the Yellowhead is part of the Trans Canada Highway, most of the Trans Canada Highway is two roads.--Daffydavid (talk) 10:25, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The end result looks much clearer and should be easy to understand for anyone.   Good job Daffydavid.  Techgod (talk) 15:34, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transportation section. 

message: I added a link to the sport in Yorkton category but it's sure not very pretty.  If someone has a nicer way of adding that link or if there is none and the rest of you aren't overly thrilled with it then feel free to remove it.  I thought it would be a nice addition but looking at how it turned out I'm less sure of that now.  Any other thoughts on that?  Techgod (talk) 16:24, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never seen a category linked like this either. -- Kayoty (talk) 17:44, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe some sort of list to include the teams from the sport in yorkton category?  It seems like it would be prudent to include some sort of link over to that information without making the article here a huge list of sports teams.  Techgod (talk) 21:50, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  The sub-categories are all under the category Yorkton at the bottom of the page. The pages in these sub-categories are now also linked (blued) in the article. There are not enough teams for a new article (list) to be created. See  the Lethbridge article. They created a small template for their teams. -- Kayoty (talk) 22:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sounds good.  Great example, thanks for clarifying.  It would be nice to have a more elegant way of linking to a category.  Techgod (talk) 04:47, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
