Changes to BSsplit and BSto display
[edit]I have modified the display of {{BSsplit}} and {{BSto}} by using TemplateStyles to ensure that the font size is always the same for the templates when they are used within {{Routemap}}. This is accomplished by adding font-size: 90%
to those cases where they are used in the main text cell.
The main result of this is presumably that visual gaps will no longer appear between rows in older diagrams that were constructed before the 2020 font size changes. I believe the templates still comply with the accessibility guidelines, as the smaller font size in both {{BSsplit}} and {{BSto}} is still 85.5% of the regular font size. Please let me know if I broke anything. Jc86035 (talk) 19:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Jc86035. Using BSsplit is broken in the mobile view. See Template:Kuala Lumpur–Singapore High Speed Rail for example. Is this something you are able to fix while you're at it? Screenshots: https://ibb.co/b58CHtw (desktop) https://ibb.co/y0CpmT4 (mobile). It feels like there's some CSS cell width inheritance issue in the mobile view, but that's beyond my understanding to try and fix. Thanks. - DCvibes529 talk 04:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @DCvibes529: The reason that this occurs is that there are Minerva CSS rules that only come into effect when the window width is 720 px or less. I think
width
would have to be used with!important
in the TemplateStyles stylesheet to override this.Jc86035 (talk) 09:05, 1 March 2024 (UTC)@media all and (max-width:720px) { .content table { display:block; width:100% !important; box-sizing:border-box } (...) }
- @DCvibes529: It should have been fixed, although that diagram in particular still doesn't look great on the mobile site because the uses of {{BSsplit}} are on adjacent rows and have overlapping text. It would help to redesign the diagram so that the text isn't so cramped. Jc86035 (talk) 09:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, that's awesome! - DCvibes529 talk 17:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Jc86035 I'm not sure if this is related to the CSS changes that were done (I'm unable to use preview to test since I don't have edit rights on the template). The mobile view is now broken when used inside an infobox: https://ibb.co/NmYXHFC Example article here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johor_Bahru%E2%80%93Singapore_Rapid_Transit_System Not sure exactly when it broke but it definitely did not have the horizontal gaps in the past. Is this something you're able to take a look and fix? Thanks - DCvibes529 talk 05:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Jc86035 Another clue from the Yellow Line (BART) page, it appears there are thick borders around the icons now: https://ibb.co/YdkLtrx - DCvibes529 talk 05:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- @DCvibes529: This appears to have happened due to changes to the mobile CSS for infoboxes. I'll use
!important
to make the selectors in the {{Routemap}} CSS override the CSS for infoboxes. Jc86035 (talk) 15:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)- Looks great now. Thanks! - DCvibes529 talk 14:31, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Horizontal/rotated text alignment

Hello, how would I go about aligning text cells in icon rows so that they align properly with icons? Longer text tends to go askew (first example), but works for short text (second example).

- Will using "align" as per Template:Routemap help? - DCvibes529 talk 07:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Symbols
[edit]Where can I find which code produces which symbols? Criticalthinker (talk) 04:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Criticalthinker: As noted in the documentation, for a tabulated list of many of the pictograms available for railway routemaps, see commons:BSicon/Catalogue. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:49, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- I am thoroughly confused by Template:South Shore Line. What is "BScvt"? I'm also trying to show a grade crossing with the Michigan Line in between Willard Avenue and 11th Street, but can't figure out how to do it for the life of me. Criticalthinker (talk) 11:08, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- "BScvt" is {{BScvt}}. The two braces on either side mean that it is a template. If you edit the template and then fold down "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page", you will see the templates and modules that are used on the page. As for the grade crossing, asking on the template's talk page as you did will probably work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:26, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- "fold down "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page" Excuse me, what? Edit which template? I do not see this option anywhere. Criticalthinker (talk) 00:02, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- When you are editing Template:South Shore Line, look directly below the "Publish changes" button for "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page". You should see a little gray triangle to the left of that text. If you click it once, it will reveal a list of the templates and modules that are used on that page. One of them is Template:BScvt. You can click on that template's name to see an explanation of what that template is and how it can be used. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:18, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
