Talk:List of road junctions in the United Kingdom

message: Some rules I've tried to apply when creating the list:
Where northbound and southbound accesses of the same junction have different names (historical reasons where junctions that were separate have been combined, for example) both should be listed with a "see also...." in comments.  e.g. langford turn on the A1.
Any Junction pages created from this should be added to the category of junctions in the uk.
Formatting  -  generally get rid of unhelpful "unclass." street names, unless name cannot be found.
Use any type of coordinate system is acceptible, provided it uses standard wiki  or  tags.
Old hidden streetmap comments should be removed from the code when updating an entry - they're a hangover from data imported and no longer required. - these are now all gone C2r 21:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Usage

message: I was always taught to capitalise all words apart from closed class words in a title context, or at least all nouns (particularly as in this instance it is the Road Junctions we are trying to draw attention to).  That's why other users used to a different syntax may have found the capitalisation objectionable.  Could we please have discussion here before such changes are made?

thread_title:  Change in Title 

message: At the moment, the location field doesn't follow a single method or another - sometimes it shows the nearest town, where applicable; with probably the historic county, though I've not been consistent.  In London I've tried to put current London Boroughs along with the nearest 'settlement' location.  
I think we should be using current administrative counties, as stated in Wikipedias policy, which I will start trying to do on new entries - however, existing entries will have to wait to be corrected (as it's probably the least important piece of information on the page!)

replies: text: It looks a bit like postal counties. MRSC • Talk 21:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally current administrative counties are used on the town/village pages and I think we should do the same here. Regan123 21:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Good work in improving the consistency of the London Boroughs and Yorkshire entries, MRSC - it's something that has been on my to-do list since forever!    I think I agree with Regan re: using administrative counties, though of course it's not something I'd lose sleep over (the name of the junction, the roads intersected, and grid ref are far more important!)

thread_title:  Historic Counties 

message: I changed the layout to the standard class="wikitable". See Wikipedia:Accessibility . MRSC • Talk 21:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm fine with that - I would have used that format initially if I had realized how to do it! C2r 16:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Layout

message: I don't seee the point of some of the things in the list. For example a completely non-notable junction #(which it isn't exactly) is where Theobalds Park Road meets Cattlegate Road. Simply south 14:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a grid reference to find it.  I don't see the point in lots of things on wikipedia, like entries for each railway station, or pages on singles that have been released by a band.  This page aims to be a list of junctions as referred to by both the general public (i.e. in common use), and the highways authority (for repairing/stating in SIs and the public noticies).  Junctions which are non-notable in themselves don't have a separate detailed page showing their history.  I would envisage a few more that are on the list should have that notability, but many do not.  C2r 07:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Point? 

message: With over 980 entries, I think this page needs to be sub-divided. Any thoughts on how best to do so? Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 18:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey there...  There's some ways it could be done....  The two most reasonable might be Alphabetically, or by County...  Think I'd go with alphabetically.... C2r 18:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, I'll make a list of proposed further changes on /BOTREQ. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 11:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

text: weak oppose as it's probably more trouble to do than it's worth, and the list isn't conclusive at any rate.  That said I wouldn't be too worried if anyone did it  C2r (talk) 20:12, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too long 

message: The article title should be changed to "List of named road junctions in the United Kingdom". There are obviously rather a lot of unnamed ones. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 17:38, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
