Revision as of 06:10, 22 March 2004 by Golbez (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)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:
| Lines | Previous Station | Current Station | Next Station |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Line | Rockville | Twinbrook | White Flint |
Multiple lines:
| Line | Previous Station | Current Station | Next Station |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Line | Arlington Cemetery | Rosslyn | Foggy Bottom-GWU |
| Orange Line | Court House | 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
| Line | Previous Station | Current Station | Next Station |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Line | Judiciary Sq | Union Station | Rhode Island Ave |
| Amtrak Northeast Corridor | Baltimore | 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?
