Template:Rail start (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Same as

   {{s-start}}
   {{s-rail|title=National Rail}}

Not immediately obvious why this is called 'Rail start' but is only for the National Rail, either. — Lfdder (talk) 10:00, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, here it is with {{s-rail}} for Disused Railways; you get 'Preceding' and 'Following station' in the header again (which isn't really reason for forking s-rail, I think):

    • And, for anyone wondering, the only differences are that you get a slightly darker border below the header (could be changed in s-rail) and the font is slightly smaller (like with every other of these boxes). — Lfdder (talk) 11:10, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) OK... I read your {{s-start}} and took it as {{s-rail-start}}, which is often used outside the UK. It's occasionally used inside the UK too, and that certainly shows a difference, such as at Wakefield Kirkgate railway station where the last three rows (from Pontefract Monkhill down) exhibit double-thickness borders. You won't see the effect on all browsers, because browsers differ in how the border-collapse property is interpreted.
This is what {{rail start}} generates:
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 0.5em auto; text-align: center;"
|-
! Preceding station
! colspan="3" |[[National Rail]]
! Following station
This is what {{s-start}} followed by {{s-rail|title=National Rail}} generates:
{| class="wikitable succession-box" style="margin:0.5em auto; font-size:95%;clear:both;"
|-
! style="vertical-align: middle; width: 30%; border-top: 1px #aaa solid; border-right: 1px #aaa solid; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; color:inherit; background-color:#f2f2f2; white-space:nowrap"{{!}}'''Preceding station'''

But why take an efficient template, which does the job it's designed for, and replace it with something that is less efficient? Not to mention that {{s-rail}} contains at least two coding errors, plus some redundancy. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:44, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Coding errors and redundancy in s-rail can be fixed. Bottom line is, we don't need two of these templates. s-rail is more encompassing, which is why I'm suggesting we delete this one. — Lfdder (talk) 12:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Would additional complexity into article writing. This proposal would mean, when creating a route box, instead of starting
    {{rail start}}
    {{rail line ...}}

You would have to write

   {{s-start}}
   {{s-rail|title=National Rail}}
   {{rail line ...}}

How's a newbie going to get that? Edgepedia (talk) 12:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • This is what they've got to do if they want to make one of these boxes for any other rail network, anyway. How are they gonna get it? I don't know, from reading the instructions? This is isn't any more difficult than infoboxes, say. — Lfdder (talk) 12:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • We could create better redirects to help, e.g. rail start could point to s-start and rail network or rail header to s-rail, compare:
   {{rail start}}
   {{rail line ...}}
   {{rail start}}
   {{rail network ...}}
   {{rail line ...}}
