This is NOT a series of anything...why should it put at the top of the page? Frankly, this template gives me an odd sense of deja vu...does it look like the template of geography of Hong Kong? The logo does not look good... -- Jerry Crimson Mann 08:38, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Transportation in mainland China is an article on mainland China.. and I won't agree with the coverage of this template to cover Hong Kong and Macao. Transport policies within the two special administrative regions are not the business of the Central People's Government in Beijing. And in fact this template is redundant because category:metros in Asia already served part of the purpose of this template. — Instantnood 08:49, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
If HK is included in this template, I think Taiwan must be included. — User:mmlcs36 19:11, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
As this template does not provide important info to any of the articles in which it is included - it is just a collection of links - the template should be placed as a footer in each article, not at the top.

Re [1] - The scope of this template is ambiguous and controversial, and is not a series of anything. More important is that this template can readily be up-merged to the category. — Instantnood 14:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the template is perfectly legit, however, it should really be reformatted as a footer. It is not an article series, but there are numerous footers linking similar groups of articles. Circeus 21:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
How should the scope be defined, in your opinion? True that footers exist for some similar groups of articles, yet in some cases categories are preferred. — Instantnood 23:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
