[edit] Templates

Please edit the recently-created templates, template:Midland-Metro-Line-One and template:Midland-Metro-Line-One-Ext (you can paste your edits form here into those pages), and use those to provide content for this page by using {{Midland-Metro-Line-One}}. Thank you. Andy Mabbett 14:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I've moved to Template:Midland-Metro-Line-One+Ext. Andy Mabbett 20:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I've done some more moving - I've put descriptive text on this page, and divided the template into three (adding template:Midland-Metro-Line-Two and template:Midland-Metro-Key). That ways, the templates can be used on other articles, where required. Please edit the templates and do not restore the content to this article. Thank you. Andy Mabbett 09:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] S-Bahn icons

Erm - why exactly does this map contain the S-Bahn icons? As far as I can remember the Midland Metro is situated in Great Britain, not Germany. I know that it is attempting to signify that this is an interchange station but i'm sure that another icon could perform a better job. JameiLei 20:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

The Hawthorns, Jewellery Quarter and Snow Hill where the Midland Metro Stops also as Train Transfers, Bilston Central and West Bromwich Central have Bus Transfers. I hope this clears up this query Ucebaggie 11:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC).

I understand but what I mean is why is it necessary to use the S-Bhan icons? In terms of this map it's unclear what they are and the map has absolutely nothing to do with the S-Bhan - it currently indicates there's an interchange with it. Is there another icon for interchange? JameiLei 20:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

See: Wikipedia:Railway line template for the full selection, and its talk page to ask for additions. Andy Mabbett 21:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Would a bus/train icon help stating that at these stations there is a bus interchange or train interchange. Can you tell me where i can find these Ucebaggie 14:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm really not sure. As the template system originally came from Germany it naturally contains the S-Bhan icons and I can't really see a proper alternative. The trouble though is that the symbol implies interchange with the S-Bhan. Ok - TBH the GWR commuter service is S-Bhan to an extent. Hmmm - mabye I should propose a new symbol. There's a lack of interchange symbols. JameiLei 21:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sub-headings

Sub-headings do not use tile case (This Is An Example), per the manual of style. Andy Mabbett 09:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
