Is it appropriate to include proposed future stations in the template? (specifically on the Sheppard line) It seems misleading/confusing to me. TheHYPO 11:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree; I'm not really sure why proposed stations are a) shown at all, or b) shown just on the Sheppard line and not on the others. I'd say remove them. –Dvandersluis 19:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

- I think the colour is what screws it up. The stations DO seem to be italicized if they are not open, but a) that isn't explained anywhere, and the fact that there are so many colours messes things up because noone made articles for the Sheppard stations so they are red, but the University line stations have articles, so they are blue. Then all the transfer stops are the colour of the line they swap with, but other stations are left the default colour (blue). It's confusing. Maybe not for me, someone who uses the TTC and knows the system, but I'm less likely to be looking this stuff up than someone who doesn't know the system. TheHYPO 18:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

- I didn't even realize that there were other proposed stations, or that they were listed in italics (and I am an often TTC passenger, for what it's worth). The fact that the ones on the Sheppard Line don't have articles highlights those links, of course. I don't know about anyone else, but to me the template is very busy (colour-wise), which the extra red links doesn't help. Perhaps the template needs a legend type thing? –Dvandersluis 20:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

- Someone's gone as far as including the now-scrapped Eglinton line, which may some day be resurrected, but is not anywhere on the radar right now. As the section is just redlinks, I'm taking it out. Radagast 18:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- This template is way out of control. Some of the stations are just in fantasyland. The Sheppard extension is a one-day maybe. The Scarborough RT extension is just an idea. The BD extension to Scarborough isn't even in anyone's plans. This template should be limited to existing, and perhaps Spadina extension stations, where there is some serious planning underway. Also, I don't know why the Yonge/Spadina subway is broken into 3 different sections - waste of space and confusing. Anyone objecting to me fixing all this? Nfitz 14:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

- I don't have a problem with the Yonge split, since it's a U-shape and is therefore hard to organize in a way that is self-evident. I don't have a problem killing extensions. If you want to be inclusive, you could have a 'proposed stations' section for existing articles on proposed stations such as the sheppard line. TheHYPO 16:05, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

- I'm just fine with getting rid of the extensions that aren't planned to be built in the near future (re: everything but the Spadina extension). Suigi 02:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

- I killed the Bloor fantasy stations. This template should be limited to existing stations or stations that are actually being planned / built. --Vgedris 14:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- That would get rid of a lot of others too. I figure everything should be gone, except existing, and the Spadina extension stations that the government appears to be serious about (though I wouldn't be surprised if they never get built ....) Nfitz 19:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Love the template, made a few minor changes, but wanted to check - personally I'd like to see the coloured boxes aligned to the left of the station's name indicating their transfer points. essentially (pink box)Sheppard-Yonge(washroom)(handicap). Thoughts? Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 17:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- In fact, the text for the Sheppard line is magenta, though many would consider it pink. In fact, the subway line is represented with a plum colour. Johnny Au (talk) 22:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] HR lines
Definitely necessary in the template, please stop removing them - it makes the lists run together and makes it difficult for readers to distinguish which station is on which line. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 21:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
