Talk:List of railway stations in the West Midlands

message: References will be added tomorrow - had trouble perfecting the syntax to fit into the table. Think I've figured it out now but i'm out of time for tonight. TicketMan - Talk - contribs 23:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Working on adding refs now. If editing, please note the unconventional syntax for refs and notes - this is necessary to fit into the table headings - I've done the rest the same way for the sake of consistency. If anyone else knows of a better way to do it, feel free to change it. TicketMan - Talk - contribs 16:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the idea of using [a], [b], [c] etc for the notes, but I would have thought it would be possible to use the standard / tags for the actual references. This has the advantage of providing a link-back from the ref to the note, and also removed the need to renumber if a new ref is inserted. I'll see what I can do with this tonight. – Tivedshambo (talk) 08:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, do not know if this a problem with the new parser or not but the layout of the page is now unusable under Firefox 2.0.0.11. The images appear in front of the tables so the end columns cannot be seen, the tables used to fit around the images. Can some one else check this out to see if they have problems?

replies: text: Try it now. Tivedshambo (talk) 00:09, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks that works OK, though leaves lots of white space. Keith D (talk) 00:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Righty then - I've merged the individual tables into one, and made it sortable, which I think makes it more useful as it enables sorting by pax volume etc. I've got rid of the redundant code column, and changed the TOC to fit the new layout. Attempting now to place the pics to the right of the table. TicketMan - Talk - contribs 14:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

message: At the risk of rocking the stability required for Feature list, it occurs to me that for consistency with the other lists mentioned in the see also section, this should be renamed List of railway stations in the West Midlands. Any comments? Tivedshambo (talk) 23:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is much inconsistency among similar lists. For example, see List of London railway stations and List of closed railway stations in London. A decision on consistent titling is needed, but it will not be limited to this one article... --Orlady (talk) 05:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. Leave it as it is then. Tivedshambo (talk) 08:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps a redirect wouldn't go amiss though - any thoughts? TicketMan - Talk - contribs 12:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

text: That said, 'in the West Midlands' suggests that the list covers an area expanding beyond the boundaries of the county, which,apart from the two documented examples, it does not. 'In West Midlands' just sounds wrong, which is why I chose the current title. TicketMan - Talk - contribs 12:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Would anyone object to adding a coordinates column to the right-hand side of this table? If not, I propose to ask for a bot to populate it. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 22:12, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not keen on the idea of co-ordinates - they take up room and if users need them they can usually find them in the relevant article.  —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 22:47, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would tend to agree that there is no room for co-ordinates in the list, especially if there are plans to add the next set of usage figures to the table. The co-ordinate data can be found on the individual station articles. Keith D (talk) 22:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Rather than subject the community to so much more red tape for the sake of it, I have been bold and moved it again myself. Jenuk1985 | Talk 13:57, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

text: You're right: List of railway stations in the West Midlands should be the title here.  The word "county" is redundant.  --RFBailey (talk) 13:10, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

text: In moving the page, I only added the county suffix based on List of bus routes in the West Midlands county. To be honest, I'm not fussed either way. In the lead it is made clear that it refers to the county, so all things considered List of railway stations in the West Midlands may not be too bad. Jenuk1985 | Talk 13:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

text: "Restore original name"? List of railway stations in the West Midlands *isnt* the original name? "Adminstrator intervention is required, otherwise they would have been reverted sooner" wtf? Jenuk1985 | Talk 13:52, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

message: As the usage stats haven't been updated for some time, I've updated the figures in the list, from 04/05 and 05/06 to 06/07 and 07/08. 
Same source as previously used. --TicketMan - Talk - contribs 22:04, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Updated again, as it's been quite a while. Source updated, still effectively the same though. TicketMan - Talk - contribs 18:20, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
