Talk:List of road routes in Perth, Western Australia

message: I am suggesting a Template Style Revamp, with a Table displaying a GIF of the Route Shield Mentioned (These can be sourced from various places, or created easily. The Table can be clean and easy to find information with approriate route shield, list of lanes in each way (Carridgeway), Location, Name, etc. It is a major job, but this article is in a bad need of a simplification as it is very long and complicated.

I'll leave the revamp notice up - if someone gets a chance and is inspired, they may be able to do the rest?  Otherwise I'll get back to it when I get some free time (maybe not for a while).

message: I propose that List of road routes in Perth, Western Australia and List of road routes in rural and remote Western Australia be merged into a new article List of road routes in Western Australia (draft version located in my sandbox). I I think that there is no need to split road routes between Perth and the rest of WA - it is harder to get an overview of the routes that lead out of Perth, as one has to flick between two pages due to the divide at the edge of the metro area, and its not like there are any duplicated route numbers that need to be distinguished. I actually can't think of a good reason to keep the articles separate, as merging shouldn't cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.
A separate issue that can be discussed at the same time is the content and formatting of the route tables. First, do we need the number of lanes and carriageway type? I don't know of any reliable source to verify the information (per WP:VERIFY), or if it is even needed in the list/s - many other regions, such as in the US and UK, don't contain this information in their lists.
Secondly, they seem cluttered and poorly organised to me, with excessively large images and spacing between routes, and text formatting in contradiction to MOS:TEXT (regarding bold, italics, and font size). The version in my sandbox uses tables with a simpler, more compact format, with everything for one route on one table row, without white spaces in between routes. - Evad37 (talk) 03:01, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
