Move lost edit option
editHitting 'e' does not now go to Edit but to an apparently blind redirect, is this to do with the line template itself not being altered when it was renamed ....RTD?--SilasW (talk) 14:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, but the move has not affected the template. Simply south (talk) 17:15, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- OK, I eventually edited the template "by hand" after being led round and round the same redirect but Editors or Bots should not let the situation arise. I have never looked for an explanation of how the v-d-e gets turned on but it seems to be by the second occurrence of the line's name in the "{{BS-header" template and if renaming fouls that up Some Thing or Some Body should attend to it either at the time of renaming or bottily soon thereafter. Perhaps you could point me to an existing WP explanation of the significance of added RTD. Is it envisaged that all line templates will acquire it?--SilasW (talk) 17:47, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- The suffix RDT is something i started to help distinguish the templates. This has recently been queried and a disussion has been started at WT:RDT#Suffices (seems to have slowly fizzled out, it needs restarting for a general consensus). Simply south (talk) 19:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Stations with more than one line
editWhat is the article for? To record how things are is not the same as explaining how they are. In this template (inter alia) some stations served by other lines have those lines shown only by the line roundels; who ignorant of the system would click on them to find what those lines were, and if by chance finding that that click showed the linename would wish to click one by one on a string of such buttons to discover if a line which was known to go to Uncle George's local station indeed connected with, here, the H&C, at tube station X?
Moreover the present left to right order of line symbols (NR included) in the text of some stations does not coincide with the left to right order of lines and station blobs. That GWR and LU fans immediately see Paddington as represented perfectly should not be the criterion for a WP article. On and under the ground Paddington and the Edgware Road stations may be singularly messy but the template should display them for the general reader and not show the present incomprehensible entanglement.--SilasW (talk) 18:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Interchange stations
editI could not figure out how to give the following stations the interchange symbol: Barking, West Ham, Mile End, Whitechapel, Moorgate, Farringdon, Baker Street, Edgware Road and Paddington. Please could someone help? --TBM10 (talk) 20:36, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
