[edit] Red or Black?

During the templatisation of stations A & C, I have been more ambitious: I have turned every station name into a [[... railway station|...]] link. This exercise added eight new blue links: North London Line plus Chadwell Heath and a nice long article on Chingford.

But it has created over 300 red links, many of which may never get filled.

Could I have a policy decision please:

  • create red links as here or
  • leave without links until articles get written?

NB. The dots are vital if you want me to remove the red links and the dots can be removed swiftly if the red links are to be kept. -- RHaworth 08:43, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)

  • My vote is to keep the red links. Provided there is some chance of an article eventually appearing, I would always prefer to see a red link rather than no link at all. And as the number of extant station article shows, there is a good chance more will arrive. -- Chris j wood 00:58, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why does A redirect to C

I'm mystified as to why stations beginning with A and C seem both to be in this article, with UK railway stations - A redirecting here. Yet B has its own page. I'm not sure if this is a mistake, or work in progress, or what. -- Chris j wood 00:58, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ditto. I've contacted RHaworth and asked him look at the A / C issue. I guess it's WIP. --Tagishsimon (talk)
