Template talk:Merseyside railway stations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
so what happened to the controversial template i created? Simply south 16:41, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- I replaced it with this one, after User:EP111 had pasting the source code for it into an article, defeating the point of a template. Besides, it avoids arguments about what a "major" station is. Also, I have created similar templates for the West Midlands and for West Yorkshire, and have ones for the other metropolitan counties in the pipeline. --RFBailey 19:09, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

- Good work with the template, big improvement. Just one thing - why are the Birkenhead stations separated out from the body? I can fully understand highlighting central Liverpool's stations, but why Birkenhead and not the stations around St Helens or Southport, say? I just want to check I'm not missing something obvious here! Aquilina 22:59, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

- Fixed. They are the town centre stations. I am not really sure if there are any other towns or cities which qualify. Simply south 11:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

- The reason I separated out the Birkenhead stations was because there are a lot of them, that's all. Incidentally, Birkenhead North is not in the town centre. --RFBailey 21:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

- Ah, I see - I was just mildly curious that's all! Southport would probably have enough too (Southport, Birkdale, Hillside, Ainsdale, Meols Cop), but I'm entirely ambivalent as to whether we separate these out. Another alternative might be to split them by boroughs of Merseyside - Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral and St Helens, and/or perhaps emboldening the town centre ones. Any thoughts?

[edit] "Birkenhead Town Centre"
I'm not sure I agree with the 'town centre' extension to Birkenhead's stations. North and Park stations are not in the town centre by any means: they're in areas of inner city housing - not quite what one would regard as a 'town centre'. I'd like to see this overextension changed, just to keep things accurate! L1v3rp00l 19:32, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] London.................
Errr... Is this a good idea? I am going with the flow right now but i thought i would attempt the big one and created a sub-page (see i am not leaping in) for attempting to create a template on ALL the stations in London. I was also wondering if i could borrow the London Termini part of
| Major UK railway stations |

Obviously the template is far from completion. Mine that is, not the above.
User:Simply south/Template:London railway stations.
When i get the chance i will continue this. Perhaps even tomorrow\today.
I was hoping i would eventually get it looking like:
Or similar.
