[edit] Template issue?

Something's obviously gone wrong with this page; I'm guessing the {mb} template was redefined? I don't know enough about templates yet to fix it myself. --ScottAlanHill 21:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, I figured it out and fixed it; the page used Template:mb, but that was redirected to be an alias for {Mfd bottom}. I first created Template:MBTABus to replace it, and changed all the {mb}s to {MBTABus}s on this site, but then I noticed that {mb} was actually in widespread use on MBTA pages, while the redefinition was just done today. So I reverted {mb} back to its original definition. But maybe {MBTABus} is a better name for the template than {mb}, and we should change it in the affected pages, but I'm not going to make that decision as I'm not a major contributor to the MBTA pages. :) Anyway, both templates are set up to work now. --ScottAlanHill 21:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{mb}} to {{MBTABus}}

I have changed the {{mb}} template to a new {{MBTABus}} template (which is identical to the old {{mb}} template) so that {{mb}} can be used for {{Mfd bottom}}, in the same way that {{Ab}} can be used for {{Afd bottom}} —Mets501 (talk) 22:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
