Template talk:Infobox station

I propose to merge Infobox London Station into Infobox station. I think that the content in the London station template can easily be replicated in infobox station just like the move of Infobox GB station into Infobox station. Smithr32 (talk) 20:33, 26 September 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm not sure it should be merged. The biggest difference is the multiple sets of passenger figures under different headings. I am not sure how to smoothly implement that, whilst retaining generality for use in other stations, and also preventing misuse of the generality. Unless a good proposal to get around that is found, I do not think it's likely to be a good merge. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:26, 26 September 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

We should still hold on with London station, it is a situation similar to New York City Subway station. Both should be scrutinized before any mergers are put forward. Cards 84664 23:45, 26 September 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

It would have been better to merge {{Infobox GB station}} into {{Infobox London station}} because the latter is, by and large, a superset of the former - only a few features of GB station are not provided by London station. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

@Smithr32: looked into this more recently, this is probably more feasible than I originally imagined above. Played around with a few demo conversions in my sandbox (the first two), very roughly. I think the key here is on presentation of the passenger information. The data can be carried over given |system= in {{Rail pass box }}, but not sure on the presentation of that data atm.

The page Oakland Coliseum station has a station infobox in which titles have insufficient contrast with their background. But if I look at the infobox code on that page, I only find the parameter:

style = BART

and no color coding. If I read the {{Infobox station/doc#External_style_template }} documentation, it says that the above code should correspond to an existing {{BART style }} template. But that template doesn't exist. It appears instead that the color is coming from Module:Adjacent stations/BART.

The section on External style template may need updating from:

The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template where the styling is defined; the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. For example, |style=DB-IC will use the {{DB-IC style}} template.

to:

The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template or module where the styling is defined. If a template, the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. If a module, the module's name would be preceded by "Adjacent stations". For example, |style=DB-IC would use either the {{DB-IC style}} template or Module:Adjacent stations/DB-IC.

I realize there is the note:

For systems which have an Adjacent stations module defined the |style2= parameter may be used to specify a sub-style within that system. For example, |style2=Amtrak old used with |style=Amtrak will return the pre-Acela Amtrak heritage colors from Module:Adjacent stations/Amtrak.

but that doesn't make it clear that the module can take the place of the style template as well.

I would make the edit but I'm not sure I understand all the nuances.

I was editing Chinese Garden MRT station and the closest car park is a HDB carpark, which is a short distance from the station. Compared to Eunos MRT station (which has car park directly next to it), should I put in yes if the carpark is a short distance away? And how close should a station be to a parking lot in order to be considered as 'having parking'. Imbluey2.

I've noticed on one station, and I wouldn't be surprised if this confusion spreads to other locations, the parameter "borough" gives the location. At least where I am from a borough is an actual governmental entity/district with a mayor. The infobox should either be changed from "Borough" to "Location" or could someone add that as a separate parameter or something like "settlement"?
