In an old page for Strathfield railway station the article contained a photo gallery with some photos under the heading Gallery. In a subsequent edit this was removed and replaced by the link * Media related to Strathfield railway station at Wikimedia Commons under that heading to explain where the gallery photos could now be found. In other station articles such as Rydalmere the gallery was purely replaced by the link under External links as recommended in Wikipedia:Wikimedia_sister_projects#Where_to_place_links However it has been found that users have been critical of this as it does not explain where the gallery photos can now be found, hence the adoption of the Strathfield approach. But another editor has reversed that change on two occasions as it is considered against Wiki policy. This have been discussed with him on his talk page and I agree with him and as such this is not a dispute. See User_talk:Rb119. The alternate use of ((commons category|Strathfield railway station, Sydney)) as displayed here, which was in use in the older Strathfield version does not seem much better. The question I have is: How can we better explain that this link now replaces the Gallery without breaking the Wiki rules or is it acceptable to use the link under a heading such as gallery? I had already made such a change in over 50 other station articles which may now all need to be reversed.

Hi there. I've reviewed their overnight posts and the link they've provided. Whilst I don't know the user's background, it does seem overly opinionated, not helped by the link being an online petition. Because of that, I'd say at the very least that it fails WP:NPOV and WP:YESPOV. A solution could be to perhaps re-write this in a more neutral tone - petition's aren't what I'd consider 'reputable neutral sources'.
If you choose to re-write it, perhaps this article can be used to make it sound more neutral Hope this helps. Nath1991 (talk) 04:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Opal card, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page University of Newcastle. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Milsons Point railway station may have broken the syntax by modifying 4 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

At Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sydney/Railway stations#Transport Links I raised an issue concerning the inclusion of Transport Link information in the articles on train stations in Sydney Australia. Editor charlesdrakew has recently removed such information from Lindfield railway station and Macarthur railway station on the grounds that they broke the No Travel Guide rules.
There are many more stations such as Wahroonga railway station which contain similar information on which no action has been taken.
After reading the No Travel Guide paragaraph
“Travel guides. An article on Paris should mention landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but not the telephone number or street address of the "best" restaurants, nor the current price of a café au lait on the Champs-Élysées. Wikipedia is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet the inclusion criteria, but the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc. While travel guides for a city will often mention distant attractions, a Wikipedia article for a city should only list those that are actually in the city. If you do wish to help write a travel guide, your contributions would be welcome at our sister project, Wikivoyage.”
I can not see where that rule is broken with the information supplied except possibly the reference to a timetable.
However in November last year the editor concerned deleted similar information from Liverpool railway station which at the time did not contain such references, so that can not be the only problem as far as he is concerned. After I tried to add it back then, he threatened to have me banned if I tried to add it again.
I have tried to ask him in the article referred to as to what he would like to see, but I have not received any reply.
I have also looked at some overseas stations such as Amsterdam Centraal railway station and Den Haag Centraal railway station where considerable bus information is present and which seems to be acceptable.
The comments from Gareth who has been the only person to comment, at least supports that some bus interchange information should be present.
For the sake of consistency in all trains station articles, I would like to know where I go from here. I would be happy to delete the timetable references if this is considered a problem and replace them with a reference to the website of the operator concerned.Fleet Lists (talk) 06:14, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I see you're referencing RailCorp's asset-holding role in relation to NWRL. Although RailCorp continues to exist as the formal owner of the existing rail network, this does not necessarily mean new and additional assets will be transferred to RailCorp ownership – and I haven't seen anything public to suggest they will be. Do you have any references to support this? Mqst north (talk) 21:41, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
To prevent this going any further I am not sure where to go next with this. A recent new member has been deleting information from a number of New South Wales railway stations on the basis that it is not correctly referenced. The deleted information generally consists of Platform Boxes for which normally no references are required. However he thinks differently. Some stations concerned are Oak Flats railway station, Gerringong railway station, Berry railway station and Bomaderry railway station. Discussion on this was started by another editor on the user's talk page User_talk:Mqst_north#A bit of free advice and has continued there. I have restored the deleted information but I suspect that he will again the delete the information and I do not want to get into an edit war on this. This is not the first difference I have had with this new member.Fleet Lists Above item is just one. (talk) 04:41, 16 August 2015 (UTC) He has since again deleted some parts but leaving others. My understanding is that while there is a dispute, the status quo should remain and the data not deleted.Fleet Lists (talk) 05:58, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
I notice you made a change to the WestConnex article in order to revert an edit of mine. (I also notice that one of your previous edit to this page included putting a link to an online anti-WestConnex petition – which I would regard as a pretty blatant violation of NPOV.) I realise you and I have our differences on railway station pages, which I'm doing my best to engage with constructively, but going through my contribution list and needlessly reverting changes elsewhere on Wikipedia is not the way to move forward. Mqst north (talk) 08:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC): As far as thee previous post in WestConnex is concerned it is purely reporting a fact and not specifically pushing an opinion one way or another. As far as the reversion is concerned I believe there is nothing to stop that infobox being used on a multiple road exercise such as this and in fact is most helpful in showing a quick summary of what the article is about without having to read through the whole article and that is what the infobox is for. And as far as not moving forward how do you think I have felt over the last couple of days, continually wasting time reverting or changing posts?Fleet Lists (talk) 08:39, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
user:Grahamec It appears that I have been wasting my time maintaining the information on Sydney and New South Wales train stations over the past year or so after most other editors in this area have either retired or are no longer active for other reasons. Recent upstart member User_talk:Mqst_north who seems to believe that consensus means his own opinion, is continually destroying long established information, doing away with templates which are used worldwide and replacing them with very minimal information - with stations like Kiama railway station now not even showing what train services use the station. The historic information he has added is great but it should not be at the expense of service information. This is being discussed at Talk:Bomaderry railway station#Platform allocations and also at User_talk:Mqst north#A bit of free advice where so far no consensus has been reached but this has not stopped him continuing his destructive posts at other stations like Kiama. It is a pity that the great work done by previous contributors to these stations, is now being destroyed by someone who is obviously only interested in what he wants and has no respect for what others think. He has even gone to the extreme of accusing me and another contributor who opposed him, to be sockpuppets. This is not the only occasion on which he has accused opponents, who did not involve me, of being sockpuppets. Hence I think it is time I went on to do other things which hopefully will not be destroyed in this manner.Fleet Lists (talk) 22:32, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
I don't know anyone who regularly edits these articles but it seems User:Mqst_north has been going through the articles in this area and blank -> redirecting large articles. Particularly after NPP deleted a bunch of weird template things he made in article space.--Savonneux (talk) 07:03, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

I have seen the thank you note you left on my talk page, and thank you for starting the on demand section yesterday. I have expanded the list of on demand services, similar to the one on Transport Info website.
As for your draft prose on your sandbox, I think it is good, but I think a simpler table should remain to summarise the current contracts and operator, while the history will be explained in the prose. Prior history for each region (particularly around 2004) can also be explained, as many bus operators (eg. Baxter's Bus Lines Region 13, Harris Park Transport Regions 4 and 7) gave up and sold their businesses to the larger operators, possibly as a result of the implementation of contract regions.

I have now been on wiki for nearly four years and during that time have made over 6000 edits - mainly cleaning up Transport items in New South Wales Australia.
I was under the impression that to delete a redirect to allow a new page to replace it I had to request that to be done by an administrator. However I noticed that an editor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kerinlong who only joined on 20 August 2018 appears to have deleted a redirect himself - see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/delete at 14.31 (Sydney time Australia) today.

Back on 15 February a change was made to Chatswood railway station [2] from ((s-line|system=NSW TrainLink intercity|line=Central Coast & Newcastle|previous=St Leonards|next=Gordon|notemid=''(peak hour services)'')) to ((s-line|system=NSW TrainLink intercity|line=Central Coast & Newcastle|previous=Artarmon|next=Lindfield|notemid=''(peak hour services)''))
((s-line|system=NSW TrainLink intercity|line=Central Coast & Newcastle|previous=St Leonards|next=Gordon|notemid=''(peak hour services)'')) to ((s-line|system=NSW TrainLink intercity|line=Central Coast & Newcastle|previous=Artarmon|next=Lindfield|notemid=''(peak hour services)''))
The change from Gordon to Lindfield has worked fine but not the change from St Leonards to Artarmon which also does not display above. This was missed by the editor 122.106.246.104 Nothing is now displayed for trips towards Central. I only picked this up last night when I was cleaning up some edits made by the same editor a bit earlier. I have tried various things but can not to get it to work.Fleet Lists (talk) 00:59, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

This is an American English (medalist) vs British English (medallist) issue. I note that medallist exists and redirects to medalist but equally it could be the other way around (it depends on who first wrote the article, a Yank or a Brit), e.g Icing (food) is named with British English rather than the American term "frosting". All efforts to replace "icing" with "frosting" at Lamington are fought off (as lamingtons are Australia, therefore its outer layer must be spelt the Australian way). All of these variants-of-English arguments were resolved years ago and the principles are documented at WP:COFAQ#ENGLISH. For articles to which Australian English applies, we tend to defer to the Macquarie Dictionary (if anyone has one handy) or look at what appears to be the more common usage in Australian writing. For example, a quick search of the ABC website (which tends to be a good indicator of educated Australian English) produces 270 articles using "medalist" against over 5000 using "medallist", so Australian English would appear to follow British English in the use of "medallist" and Maryborough is Australian content.

I've removed the galleries from Rhodes and St Peters. I have to say that, as a user of pages, I generally prefer to see a few photos on the article page than to go to commons, which often has a lot of poor photos that do not add to the quality of the article page. Sometimes it is difficult to see if there is a link to commons and sometimes there is no link, but there are actually photos at commons. I only use commons to upload my photos because it seems to be an easier process than loading them via the wikipedia article. I have been adding photos for NSW heritage items and, in that regard, have added photos for the Auburn Railway Signal Box and the Burwood rail underbridge and I propose taking photos of the Ultimo Road railway underbridge. One walks over the latter when walking along the walk to Darling Harbour from Central but I can't find that subject covered specifically at Wikipedia. Anyway, no more galleries from me as far as railway station pages go. Collywolly (talk) 21:14, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

I am trying to learn more about certain templates facilities. ((str right|(({1))}|1)) as I see it gives the information from the string, bypassing the first character. But how would I code it if I only want the 2nd, 3rd and 4th characters ie - a length of 3 characters? I would think that this must be documented somewhere in Wiki but I have not been able to find it.Fleet Lists (talk) 09:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
((str mid|Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz|2|3))
gives bcd, which I assume is what you were looking for. Huon (talk) 10:42, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Thinking about it a little bit more, I *think* it may be possible for me to use AutoWikiBrowser to seek out the manual citations to the timetables (whether before or after your recent manual updates to the articles) and replace them with our new templated citations. And then as you expand the template to cover other kinds of public transport, we can probably do something similar with them. I say "*think*" because it involves a computer reading and recognising manually written things and sometimes that is not a computer's particular strength. However, I would hope that I could do the bulk of them that way, and then I can think of another way to identify the "left overs" which might need to be done manually. Before I start that though, I need to know you are happy with the templates for the Brisbane railway lines before I start using them for real. Initially I will be targetting the railway stations on the Brisbane lines. Later as the template is expanded to other services, we can repeat the exercise. So let me know when you are happy with the templates for the Brisbane train lines and I will make a start and see how it goes. Kerry (talk) 04:06, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
Note the only difference between the two is the first searches for "http" and the other "https". While there appear to be a couple of 200 in total between them, there are not as many as that in terms of updating the Queensland Timetables template. Obviously some of the them are duplicates as a number of stations may connect to the same bus route. Also a number of them are on Talk pages, Sandboxes, etc and can be ignored. If you can update the template with the desired citation for the bus routes, I can go through and update the articles themselves to use the Template in the same way as I did the railway stations. It doesn't have to be done in one pass. If you want to just add a few bus routes to the template, I can update the articles to use the template for those routes you've just added, then we repeat the process until it's all done.

Just a comment. I notice that you tend to use the old format for creating citations and I wondered if this might be because you had a fairly long time away from Wikipedia and weren't aware of some of the changes that make contributing a lot easier. To enable these, there are two preferences to set. The first one is the citation form for use in the source editor (which I can see you use, as if you use the Visual Editor, if flags it as such in the edit summary). When logged in, go to Preferences top right of any screen, then select the "Editing" tab, then scroll down to "Enable the editing toolbar" and make sure it is ticked. If not, tick it and click on Save (lower left of screen). The effect of this is to give you a toolbar that has a "Cite" button, which when clicked, displays a Template dropdown list to let you create web citations, news citations, etc by filling in the fields of a form and it makes the ((cite web)) or ((cite news)) markup automatically. The other innovation is the Visual Editor which makes contributing to Wikipedia similar to using Microsoft Word (what you see is what you get, more or less). I use Visual Editor a lot for content editing. To enable it, again go to Preferences, then Editing and then make sure that "Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta" is NOT ticked and that (immediately below) "Editing mode:" is set to "Show me both editor tabs" (and then Save lower left). This will give you two ways to edit any article, using the Visual editor (the tab called "edit") or the traditional source editor (the tab called "edit source"). Visual editor makes many things easy. Citations are Cite > Manual > Web (for a web citation) and fill out a form. Clicking on a citation enables you to edit it the same way or to copy and paste it (the same as doing <ref name=blah/> in the source editor) or you can do it with Cite > Reuse and pick from the list of citations. You can even copy and paste content (including citations) between articles (provided both articles are open in Visual Editor). And of course if you find you don't like these new tools, you can go back to Preferences and disable them. Happy to answer any questions about any of these things.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Tony Rodi (talk) 00:55, 12 May 2020 (UTC) Dear editor, User Fleet Lists. Thanks for your undo and reversion on my edit. The intention was more for factual reference to material rather than self promotion. If the same links were referred to by others, would that be acceptable? My leading role in, and newspaper articles regarding the most significant cultural and historic urban developments in Australia include the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, Architectural Review Australia, Television interviews on ABC SBS and all commercial television stations in Australia, and many more media outlets. I expect that I would not be exaggerating to suggest that I am in fact, the most publicised Architect in Australia. To say so is just factual, although it may be seen as self promotion. Please accept my apologies if I have not edited according to Wikipedia requirements. I would very much appreciate your assistance in providing information that does have historical significance. Articles on related subjects outside of Wikipedia seem to be controlled by vested interests, and determined to exclude the most important details. That may have a lot to do with obscuring politically sensitive issues and corruption. Sincerely Yours Tony Rodi Tony Rodi (talk) 00:55, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Hey mate, just want to say thank you for being helpful. You’re one of quite a few long time editors who’ve been super patient and respectful towards me as a new editor learning the best way to edit. I’m sorry you had to see an unnecessary argument on my talk page. But remember what I said? Northern sydney gets super sensitive to edit or to talk about it seems. Just look at the history of the north shore page. It’s an emotional journey speaking about Sydney regions on here.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bonnyrigg Heights, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page City of Liverpool (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

In answer to your help request on the above file talk page, I have moved this to commons:File:Telfords TV6238.JPG which removes the problem of the name. Those categories do not exist as far as I can see, can you link to where you want the image to display (use : to stop the category link on this talk page Example: Category:Category Demo) - RichT|C|E-Mail 07:55, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Also, if you don't mind, I'd like to uncollapse the services on most articles that have one to few services (like this), and leave the articles with many services (like this for example) collapsed. I think services should only be collapsed if they greatly affect the length of the article itself, not just the infobox. Cards84664 06:45, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Care to help me with formatting on Chatswood railway station? The reverting editors seem unfamiliar with the template format, and one even used a fake revert summary so it wouldn't notify me of the revert. Cards84664 01:34, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
@Cards84664:I have just added T8 the last live line as far as I know. Now there is recently closed T6 Carlingford Line Should that be added here as Carlingford Line or should there be a separate module for closed lines? There are other closed lines but they were a long time ago pre Sydney Trains and I wont address those until I have finished the live ones completely.Fleet Lists (talk) 23:39, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
@Cards84664:Thanks for the answer on the Carlingford Line - that is what I was hoping you would say. I have started work on Town Hall station at the bottom of User:Fleet Lists/sandbox. I can not get the through-right parameter on T2 or the through-left parameter to work on T8. Also as far as I can see the through parameter is on the wrong side in T8 in the current Town Hall article. Dont worry about the gaps in the line numbers - I will sort that out as I still need to add some other things to it. Any help would be appreciated.Fleet Lists (talk) 05:52, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
Also, go into your wikipedia preferences, under the gadgets tab, select "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". You'll then be able to see the issue with Central Coast & Newcastle on Town Hall. Cards84664 02:31, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
@Cards84664:Thanks for making those changes to Cootamundra which I cannot finish until I add the appropriate line information to the module concerned. Also I need to change the line key for Sydney Metro from M to M1 - I copied the M from a template which had a bug in it which resulted in some calls being rejected. I will be adding the second line later this week as M2.By chance I found this template Template:CityRail color/null which did not have category in it. This flagged a number of Metro entries for the second line as errors which I sorted out yesterday. And now for a question. What should we do with Newcastle Interchange? It is the only location which uses the Newcastle Light Rail templates. Is it worth creating a separate module just for that? None of the other NSW light rail lines use such templates.

Hey, do you mind if you could warn the user at User_talk:124.168.131.35 for vandalism for their edit you reverted on NSW TrainLink fleet? I think that the user meets the requirement for a admin block (5 warnings so far and vandalism within the past couple of days), but it got rejected the other day. See a list of their meaningless contributions at Special:Contributions/124.168.131.35. Also, if you are warning a user of anything, does that person have to be the person who reverted the edit or can it be anyone? Just wondering. Thanks, Fork99 (talk) 06:50, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
@Cards84664: I have not found anyone who could do the Adjacent stations for Queensland so today I created the first module for TransLink Module:Adjacent stations/TransLink and then tried to update Cultural Centre busway station which worked except that I could not get the right option of "Woolloongabba or Springwood" to work from the module. But then I added "|to-right2=Woolloongabba or Springwood" after which it worked OK. But I did not think there should be need to add that. I think I must be missing something but what is it?Fleet Lists (talk) 09:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey there! The colour code and name for the Tonsley line needs to be replaced with the Flinders line name and colour. Do you happen to know or know someone who knows how to change the name and colour of the Tonsley line to the Flinders line in the colourbox at Template:Adelaide Metro line colourbox? I tried to do it myself, but it didn’t work as I think there’s another separate template or something that it relies on. The reason I ask is because I've asked various people active on SA public transport articles, but no one responds on their talk pages. Also, this is because in List of railway stations in Adelaide, the links to Tonsley line in the Railway line(s) column of the table need to be changed to Flinders line.

Hey Fleet List. I see you've encountered an IP editor 124.187.21.179 taking great chunks out of articles with F-bomb heavy edit summaries. I'm not an admin so I can't do much, but if they stick around I'll try to flag it somewhere. If you can, could you keep an eye out for them as well please?

I was wondering if you operate this site (one I've found very useful for finding set numbers). I was going to ask if you have any intention of updating it, though I suppose the information on your userpage can infer an answer. Kind regards, thorpewilliam (talk) 06:28, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
