This page and its subpages contain the suggestions and opinions of interested contributors; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and coordinate the efforts of all.
To help, please inquire on the discussion page.
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to coordinate, organize and develop all Misplaced Pages activities concerning the New York City Subway. Specifically, it deals with everything on rails under the banner of MTA New York City Transit, including the Staten Island Railway and all subway stations, from the beginning of service to the present day. It also may include connecting services such as Metro-North Railroad and various ferries.
Parentage
The parents of this WikiProject are WikiProject New York City and WikiProject Trains.

Structure
Naming conventions
For subway stations, use <Station Name> (<Division Name> <Line Name>). The most commonly-used form of each station name should be used. This will usually be the name on maps or schedules (except under exceptional circumstances, which should be discussed on this project's talk page). Numbered streets should be written with their ordinal adjective (e.g., "59th Street"); numbers ten or below should be written out (e.g., "Third Avenue"). Station names can be retrieved in route schedules. (CAUTION: These names may not be the most commonly-used. Use with discretion.) Where needed, redirects should be placed. In most multi-line stations, each line will have its own article for that station. In some cases, where there is much to say about the complex as a whole, only one article will be written for the complex and all its individual stations; naming for those articles is usually <Station Name> (New York City Subway) (e.g., Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue (New York City Subway)). Articles about subway railyards are simply of the form <Yard Name>.

Templates
See Misplaced Pages:WikiProject New York City Subway/Line templates for templates used to display the services that operate on a line. These should be used almost every time an article refers to services. That way, if services change, only the templates have to be updated (as well as the page for the specific service and lines it operates over) so all the pages remain correct. Specifically, use the templates in the following places:
- station listings, both in a 'services' column showing all services that stop at the station, and for transfers to other lines
- line descriptions, when referring to another line, in most cases
- infoboxes on station pages
- anywhere else where it fits with the flow of the article
