Categorizing redirects
Please stop bloating Category:Bannered and suffixed U.S. Highways with redundancies until you have reached a consensus to justify doing so. This category now has over a thousand entries!

A project you could tackle
I just started Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Systems and lists. The idea is that each state should eventually have an article on that state's highway system. In most cases, that will also mean setting up separate "List of Interstate Highways in <state>" lists, etc. It would be helpful to get some information on which lists are already created, and then if those lists are using the WP:USRD/STDS/L templates or not. There is {{yes}} that can be put into a table cell, which is why I did for the Michigan example. There are other similar templates for no, and n/a as I recall. We would need another option for cases where the list exists, but it needs to be converted to templates.
Anyway, after we get that list created and filled in, we can use it to track efforts related to converting lists over to the templates. Imzadi 1979 → 02:32, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
- Can you better explain exactly what this page is for? I don't understand. Sorry. I'm not stupid. I just don't understand. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 03:47, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I can confirm by my previous driving experience of the area that the Gatlinburg Bypass is not the Foothills Parkway Spur, but actually a road part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Foothills Parkway Spur is that gap section between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg; even signs at both ends say so: Pigeon Forge end, Gatlinburg end. Some day, whenever that happens, the mainline Foothills Parkway will cross through that section. So, the question is, do you want to change it or do I? --WashuOtaku (talk) 06:03, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
What we're seeing may be a difference between the Foothills Parkway highway and the Foothills Parkway unit of GSMNP. --NE2 06:16, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, guys, but I was totally confused by the article's text. If some major clarification could be added to eliminate that confustion, it would be a boost to the article. Thanks. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 06:35, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Armageddon
Why did you revert my edit to Armageddon, without giving a reason? Eleuther (talk) 09:39, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- I apologize for that. I feel dumb. I was totally thinking it was a different article, and wondered why you put those genres on there. Again, I apologize. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 09:45, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
