Template:SampleWikiProject

So, there's not been much work on this in a while. Is this the proper place to make suggestions?

A list of notable places near the station, perhaps crosslinked back from those places.
The address or intersection of the station

Any other suggestions? The project as it exists now is pretty bare bones.

I just made some large changes to the template page, I hope I did this all correctly. --Golbez 05:27, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

This looks good. I'll look over my contributions thus far to follow this. Unfortunately, I don't know the table markup, but I'll do what I can. --Meelar 05:32, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Here's a proposal for the footer table:

Single line:


Washington Metro (List)
Lines	Previous Station	Current Station	Next Station
Red Line	Rockville	Twinbrook	White Flint

Multiple lines:

Washington Metro (List)
Line	Previous Station	Current Station	Next Station
Blue Line	Arlington Cemetery	Rosslyn	Foggy Bottom-GWU
Orange Line	Court House	Rosslyn	McPherson Square

Everything would be wikified except current station. In fact, I could see this being used to link systems together, as in this (fictitious) example

Washington Metro (List)
Line	Previous Station	Current Station	Next Station
Red Line	Judiciary Sq	Union Station	Rhode Island Ave
Amtrak Northeast Corridor	Baltimore	Union Station	Richmond

A style note - should the 'previous', 'next' be West-East or East-West? Usual notation is to do East-West, but I've always envisioned the Washington Metro as going West to East. ;) Maybe it should be on a per-system basis, or abandoned altogether?

Also, do you have any comment on my naming proposal?

EDIT: Added a color to the first one, just to see how it works. And now even more color! Just to see how it works. May render things unreadable. --Golbez 06:51, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The naming convention makes more sense your way; I've already moved Tenleytown-AU and Metro Center to reflect it. I usually think of it as West-to-East, because that's the way I'm usually headed; but I think it's up to us on this one. Meelar 06:55, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
