Talk:List of Washington Metro stations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wow, that's gnarly. This page sits untouched for months, then two of us start wikifying the stations. Should we decide on some sort of uniform format, like what the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Station Stations tried to do, but has apparently lay idle?
Also, what about format for the station pages names? There is no present Wikiproject for station (naming). I took a cue from the tube stations (where one is Acton Town tube station), and named mine Foggy Bottom-GWU Washington Metro station. Now, "Metro Center" is pretty unique, but I just wanted input. I'm new here, but already hopelessly addicted, and scared to death that I'm doing things wrong. --Golbez 03:04, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Just another thought - if we have to disambiguate station pages, then that creates some non-standard names.
For example, we would have: Foggy Bottom-GWU Tenleytown-AU Van Ness-UDC
But then we would require disambiguated names for ones like: Rockville Vienna Smithsonian Anacostia
So should we just go with one format? I'm gonna play around in the Wikiproject now.
[edit] Color boxes
The color boxes need to go. These are not accessible for blind users or users of text-based browsers or monochrome monitors. --NE2 06:56, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- I hover over the boxes with my mouse, and I see text pop up, which indicates to me that they're sufficiently accessible. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:19, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- Not really... if you have a monochrome monitor, or you're colorblind, you'll have to hover over each one to see what it is. --NE2 14:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
