Merge target

Resolved

– Merged. –Fredddie ™ 23:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think SR 759 can be reasonably merged into this article. It's a mile-long continuation of the same number. Any thoughts? –Fredddie ™ 21:27, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support The History section states there are plans to extend I-759 east, presumably along SR 759, to reach US 278. SR 759 appears to be a temporary designation until that happens. V C 22:11, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interstate 759 → Interstate 759 and State Route 759 (Alabama) – Both I-759 and SR 759 are covered in this article, but the article title is only for I-759. There should either be a separate section for it (like Arkansas Highway 530 is a section in the Interstate 530 article) or both routes should be in the title (like the Interstate 110 and State Route 110 (California) article) ChessEric 20:34, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I think it's fine to just have the primary interstate route as the title. Interstate 540 (North Carolina) does the same thing. Rreagan007 (talk) 00:23, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think the extra mile or so of roadway justifies the un-WP:CONCISE title, especially since the signing for that small stretch is liable to revert to the current title name in the future anyway, WP:CRYSTAL notwithstanding. StonyBrook _babble 15:03, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate option

Is there a way to put both shields in the infobox? This was actually the other option I was thinking of, but forgot to mention. ChessEric 18:31, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There should be. Looking at how the I-540 article does it, it appears a new custom road type is specified in Module:Road data/strings/USA/NC ("INC" – Interstate/state route). So, if this becomes the preferred option, it seems like it should be pretty simple to do something similar for Alabama and display both shields.

I agree it would be a good idea to display the AL 759 shield in the infobox, particularly since the map shows both distinct routes, so it's a bit confusing to just have the Interstate shield. I suppose it's possible that displaying both shields could raise some confusion as to whether the routes are concurrent, although the map and lead seem to clear that up. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 18:45, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Interstate 540 (North Carolina), I agree with this. StonyBrook _babble 21:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I had tried to do that, but it wouldn't let me; I assume it's because there has been no reason to do that for any other Alabama routes. ChessEric 02:43, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see no harm in adding the info to the lede at least. I don't usually edit these kinds of articles, so I don't know how to help with the IB. StonyBrook _babble 03:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since this seems to be uncontroversial regardless of the outcome of the RM, I have implemented this in the module and on the article. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 00:00, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
