OK. In parts, it's implied to be public domain, which is free content. In others, it's implied to be non-free. If there is any doubt as to its freeness, it cannot be placed on multiple pages by means of a template. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 16:20, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Unnamelessness: One, I'm not online 24/7, mainly because I do have a paid job IRL (witness the huge gaps in my contribs). Two, if you have a look at what happened 2-3 days ago, you'll know that when somebody asks for help and I give it, that somebody punches me in the face. And then gets their friends to kick me too. Three, see Jonesey95's post below. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 22:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone has a job and lives a life. No one forces you to reply within 24 hours, but there was a three-day gap, and you did contribute in other pages. I am attempt to follow WP:BRD here, but to perform a discussion, first relevant editors should be active, rather than leave a comment of "I am busy, don't bother me". It makes zero progress on discussion. Unnamelessness (talk) 01:40, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And my question is a very simple one: Why there are other examples with the same licensing could be add to this template, but this one couldn't? Either a) remove those with the same licensing from this template, or b) add this one into it. Otherwise, it is double standard and inconsistent.

I don't think this will result in an improvement. It's not clear what those symbols means and their use in route diagrams may well be confusing. Have TfL produced official symbols for the branded services on London Overground? [1] suggests not yet. We can wait.Bazza 7 (talk) 12:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Paine Ellsworth: Thanks for the work you do here. While we agreed that changing the link is an improvement, I don't see agreement about the images. I stated that the transport authority had not yet produced branding symbols for the services concerned, and that remains the case. Can you please partially undo this change to remove the changes to the images until there's consensus on what they should look like? I could make the change myself but as an involved person feel that wouldn't be right. Bazza 7 (talk) 09:06, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To editor Bazza 7: I don't mind doing the extra work, but I don't really understand. If we look here at the symbols, then we find that they are the exact same except for a small, colored bar beneath each symbol. If neither symbol has meaning then maybe neither symbol should be used? or maybe it's okay to use the symbol with the bar? Please explain why the symbol with the colored bar should not be used, while the same symbol without the bar is okay to use? P.I. Ellsworth , ed.put'er there12:23, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Paine Ellsworth: I'm sorry if I have not been clear enough to avoid confusion.
The symbol without the bar () and the colour has been used to indicate six separate services operated by London Overground. Branding for all six has been the same, with the symbol and colour used for all, and this has been reflected in articles and diagrams on Wikipedia.
The operator of the services, TfL, announced last year that each service would have a name and a specific colour assigned to it, but the symbol currently remains the same for all six (). These are as shown at Module:Adjacent stations/London Overground. The symbol with a bar has not been published, and is not used, anywhere and seems to have been constructed by Sameboat who made the original requests.
Should, in the future, TfL publish a separate symbol for each service (as is done for London Underground — for the system and , , , etc for each service in it) then a set of six individual symbols may be constructed and configured in a new request.
Okay, I've reverted back to the standard image, and I've synchronized the sandbox to the live template. Please place the code needed, if any, in the sandbox to make the changes wanted. P.I. Ellsworth , ed.put'er there03:34, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
