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 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 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. --Golbez 06:51, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
