RfC: Conversion to {{Infobox Road}}
This proposal consists of several parts -
- Identify all issues with
{{Infobox Road}}and modify it for Australian usage. (Significant progress has already been made on this at WT:AURD) - Convert articles using
{{Infobox Australian road}}to{{Infobox Road}}, retaining{{Infobox Australian road}}as a backup working template if editors wish.
Please see WT:AURD (Wikiproject: Australian Roads) for a summary of what has been discussed so far. These topics are not closed for discussion, if you have a problem with an existing decision of Wikiproject: Australian Roads, please discuss it below, in addition to topics we may not have covered thus far.
Survey
Survey is closed until issues have had adequate discussion.
Discussion
Interested Parties
I have invited WP:AUS, WP:HWY, and WP:HWY/O on their associated talk pages. If anyone has suggestions for other interested parties to invite please let me know. Of course, individual editors can extend invitations to any groups or editors they want, but I am happy to accept requests to do it instead. - Nbound (talk) 10:37, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
For what has previously been a contentious topic, there seems little interest, so I have personally contacted the following editors individually:
- All WP:HWY/O editors (with a few exceptions as certain editors helped discuss/propose this).
- All WP:AUS editors in the "sorted list".
Or roughly 250 editors from those Wikiprojects.
As well as:
- Editors who commented in previous discussions pertaining to the use of
{{infobox road}}in Australian articles.
Or roughly 20 editors.
I apologize in advance for any double-ups/missing editors/other problems, I did my best to get the word out to as many people as possible.

Your topic here
- This is long overdue, and I support the proposed migration, only with the caveat that the old Australia-specific template should not be retained "as a working backup", but deleted or redirected to the more generic one; or made a shell which calls that one.

Conversion testcases

A reasonably complete set of Australia-specific {{infobox road}} documentation is also available at the bottom of the testcases page.
