Template talk:Railway line legend

message: I have updated this page and added some integral symbols so Im not sure whether it could do with further updates Gingerblokey 17:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Since we are linking this legend from various articles in the article namespace, I moved this page from the Wikipedia namespace to the template namespace as per WP:SELF. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:56, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But this is not a template! It's not designed to be transcluded into other pages, but actually linked to from the article space. I suppose it ought to be within the article space (even though its subject matter is diagrams within Wikipedia?). --Dr Greg 11:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if it would be useful if the help pages are not also included in most Wikipedia mirror. Instead, we could also treat this as sort of a navigation box. Zzyzx11 (talk) 18:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Can someone codify a symbol for HST minor station and similar for BST with a small level crossing x before and after it, otherwise we have two symbols to use in a row which seems overkill.  An attempt has been made with BHF+BUE but is so counterintuitive as one X on top of a station it has obviously been rightfully omitted from this list.- Adam37 Talk 17:31, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  BHF+BUE is poor as it doesn't distinguish where the level crossing is so it is not in this list I note 

message: There should be a symbol to denote when a station is only accessible in one direction. I'm not sure how to do that, but it really should exist, especially for systems like the NYC subway, which has many stations that are only accessible for trains heading in a single direction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henrygg98 (talk • contribs) 04:05, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: In terms of a station with a mix of accessible and inaccessible platforms, I would leave it labeled as inaccessible and put a clarification in the station's article. That should cause the least confusion, especially if we consider a reader with a physical disability looking to Wikipedia for information. Hotdog with ketchup (talk) 01:02, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

text: The only workaround to this I've seen is to display an accessibility symbol next to the line and station (at right). I can see it maybe getting a little unwieldy, but I imagine that most stations with limited services also have limited connections, leaving room adjacent to the pHST symbol. -MJ (talk) 22:17, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

text: oops, misread this as "limited service" for some reason. though this still seems like an appropriate solution for some applications. -MJ (talk) 22:23, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

message: I have to say I'm not a fan of this system and it's extensive use. Often they are used in "route maps" for train systems and they end up being completely useless for Wikipedia articles as they don't help understand the relative routes to the surrounding city map. They should not be used in "route maps" and instead be reserved for whatever purpose they were originally used for. Ergzay (talk) 12:15, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Could we please have an infographic added to include triangles or wyes. For clarity, the graphic would be similar to the switch-back, but include the continuous through line. There are multiple lines and articles where this would be of additional benefit in portraying the line structure. J.christianson (talk)
