Talk:List of road junctions in the United Kingdom/BOTREQ

Proposal

For every sub-page of List of road junctions in the United Kingdom,

Finish splitting process

• Add the relevant index letter to the first line, {{Lists of United Kingdom road junctions}} (currently showing "A" in every case) (urgetly needed)

  Confirm the following changes, please. — madman bum and angel 13:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Please note changes to your hidden mark-up (made in this edit); otherwise confirmed. Thank you.. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 14:26, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

     Done — madman bum and angel 16:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

    Thank you. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 17:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• (if possible) reformat lists using "*" instead of "<LI>".

   Done – Please review the results, then I'll continue. — madman bum and angel 18:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  Looks good so far, Thank you again. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 19:09, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• If references are present, and a subsection and {{reflist}}

• Change:

{| class=wikitable 
|-  
!width=20%| '''Junction Name'''
!width=15%| '''Location'''
!width=30%| '''Roads'''
!width=18%| '''Grid Reference'''
!width=25%| '''Notes'''

to {{Lists of road junctions in the United Kingdom table header}}

• Add an extra column after the current Grid Reference column and, if the coordinates are in {{oscoor}}, move them to the new column, with class="note" (must be done with the above; or table will break).

• Add project template {{WPUKgeo}} to the talk page.

Microformat

• Count the entries on each page, and produce a list.

• Pause while we check whether any further sub-division is necessary. Reiterate.

• Add hCard microformats by changing (for example):

|-  
| Baillieston Interchange
| [[Glasgow]]
| <LI>[[M73 motorway|M73]] J2</LI><LI>[[M8 motorway|M8]] J8</LI><LI>[[A8 road|A8]] Glasgow and Edinburgh Road</LI><LI>[[A89 road|A89]] Coatbridge Road</LI>
| {{coor dms|55|51|10|N|4|05|22|W}}
| some text

to:

|- class="vcard"
| class="fn org" | Baillieston Interchange
| class="label" | [[Glasgow]]
| class="note" | <LI>[[M73 motorway|M73]] J2</LI><LI>[[M8 motorway|M8]] J8</LI><LI>[[A8 road|A8]] Glasgow and Edinburgh Road</LI><LI>[[A89 road|A89]] Coatbridge Road</LI>
| {{coord|55|51|10|N|4|05|22|W}}
| class="note" | some text

by inserting classes "vcard", "fn org", label" and "note" (the latter, twice); and using {{coord}}.

Discussion

Hi.... am very impressed with the speed that the page has been separated... Thanks! Erm, I don't really understand some of what you're written above.... Why add a new column and move oscoor to it? I'm not sure I'm technical enough to understand the bit on h card microformats either )o: C2r 15:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. The separate columns are to allow for both values to be recorded; and to give greater granularity. Try reading microformats and let me know if you have any questions about them, on my talk page. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 15:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I think I get it now... One more question though - can we do something about the layout of the table - the junction graphic seems to be using up some of the horizontal width the table can be using - not really a problem when viewed on a 1280x1024 resolution screen, but more of an issue at 800x600 of if more columns are to be added... I've had an attempt at doing it in the preview but I can't get it to play ball - any ideas? C2r 21:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 22:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
