[edit] Missing links
I don't think the project makes as much use of the 'xxxx in rail transport' pages as it could, although I suspect that a 'project policy' would need to be drawn up to ensure consistent application.
Anyway, having just stumbled across Years in rail transport (indirectly) -- after noticing that someone has removed the year link '1902' from Buffer stop, "in accordance with WP:MOSNUM" -- I realised that the 'xxxx in rail transport' pages have a notable omission. It would strike me as sensible for each of these pages to also link to 'Rail accidents in xxxx', 'Railway stations opened in xxxx', and 'Railway stations closed in xxxx', etc, plus any other like pages that may appear in the future. This should be an easy fix to apply using a template (and a bot?).
Also, I'm sure it would be useful for these pages to provide a quick link from each page to Years in rail transport -- again, a link from a template would probably be best.
Thoughts?
