text: Please note that I agree that this for the Hastings Line was too small, someone had double-invoked small. I however disagree that the regular subtext isn't readable. Cards84664 16:57, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Yeah, Oppose. Gives undue weight to the termini. Cards84664 19:17, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Oppose only removing the small text. As currently displayed that does make it significantly harder to pick out the important detail from a sea of text. If small text is an accessibility issue (I don't know) then there needs to be some way of recreating the distinction between primary and subsidiary information. My first thought was bolding the adjacent station, but I'm not sure that's going to do anything but add to the too much text feeling. I haven't yet had a second thought.

replies: text: It's worth noting that the use of small text here, if generated appropriately (I've not looked at the code), seems to be allowed by WP:FONTSIZE. If so that strongly implies there is no accessibility issue that needs correcting. Thryduulf (talk) 23:35, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Note: After posting this message, I noticed the above discussion. I see that people have various opinions about whether they like the smaller size or not, but accessibility is the policy here. The previous code, when used in infoboxes at articles like Rathaus Spandau (Berlin U-Bahn), was too small. There are probably creative solutions for distinguishing important text from less-important text, but reducing the size of text is not one of them. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:36, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: We should probably look at a CSS-based approach, such that the text is only reduced if the element is not within a table that belongs to the infobox class. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:02, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

message: I have removed some excessive shrinking of the font sizes in a couple of this template's subpages per MOS:FONTSIZE. Because infoboxes already reduce the font size to 88% of normal, the most you can reduce the font size beyond that is to 97%. I know this is not a fun situation, but the previous text sizes were just too small. Since MOS started enforcing this size limit a few years ago, we've had to change a lot of templates and template transclusions. For what it's worth, the text in the infobox S-rail templates is currently at 85.4% of normal size, so that's as small as it can go. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:31, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
