Description of suggested change: These changes will harmonize and cleanup the code for all five Taiwanese urban rail transit systems. I don't know how this would work code-wise, but I would also like File:Taichung Metro logo plain.svg to be added to the Taichung module so whenever {{rint|taichung|metro}} is used, it will display said logo file, much like how {{rint|taipei|metro}} displays the logo for the Taipei Metro. Thank you!

The only test case I see is Taipei, and if it's any indication, something is not quite right. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 00:00, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth: Ah, my apologies. Hopefully the most recent revision has fixed all of the errors? I've gone ahead and made a testcase and I've observed a few things:

The Maokong Gondola should use File:Maokong Gondola Logo(Logo Only).svg.
The Taichung Metro should use File:New Taipei Metro logo new logo.svg.
Logos don't exist for the Taichung Metro's lines aside from the Green line, so perhaps they should be omitted.

Thank you! OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 10:03, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, editor OrdinaryScarlett, that's good work so far! I don't want to add the obviously finished ones to this template piecemeal due to the high number of transclusions of this template, so this will take a little more time, as I also have some offline homework to do. Please be patient. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I understand! Feel free to omit anything if it's for the best, as well as take your time. It's not an urgent request by any means, moreso just a potential wishlist. Thanks for your assistance! OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 22:09, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, editor OrdinaryScarlett, I've removed all but the Metro and Green lines from the Taichung code, and the Taichung Metro now uses File:New Taipei Metro logo new logo.svg. I've also added File:Maokong Gondola Logo(Logo Only).svg to the Maokong Gondola listing. I made two of the logos a little larger, Taiwan's "thsr" and "cbrt", which are really not good logos to work with. Please go ahead and check the [test cases], and make certain that it all looks good to you. If it does, then let me know and I'll send it to the live template. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 04:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that File:New Taipei Metro logo new logo.svg is believed to be non-free in Taiwan, so please pick a logo that is free-use in the U.S. and in Taiwan if you can. If you can't, I've given the Taichung Metro a blue background with white letters. Hope that's okay. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 05:19, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! All changes are fine by me. Thanks again! OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 08:28, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pleasure, and

completed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 08:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request on Sept 13 2024

Hello,

Can the GRTC be added as a listed transit operator? This (wikipedia link) could be the image.

I would do it myself but this area of Wikipedia is not my strong suit.

Thanks so much!

Description of suggested change: Hi! A bit of a minor change, but I believe that separating the parameter for the city of Chiayi from the parameters for Taiwan on a national level makes far more logical sense and is much more intuitive and cleaner code wise. Thank you!

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 10:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go further than that. @OrdinaryScarlett:, as I have mentioned several times on this page, please do not use code blobs to request edits. They are difficult to follow, so we do not properly understand the requested change; and they are even more difficult to test. Therefore,

@Redrose64: My apologies. Going forward I'll avoid the code blobs. I did also forget to preemptively edit the sandbox this time, but I've just done so here. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 20:00, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 19 September 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: I'd like to have three icons added: three to the US, and one to Taiwan.

US changes

Add Special Event Line (San Diego Trolley) (for old and new versions).

Ideas:

{{rint|sandiego|Special Event}} (current logo is File:Logo_Special_Event_Line_(San_Diego_Trolley).svg)
{{rint|sandiego|Special Event pre-2012}} (former logo is File:San Diego_Trolley_Special_Event_Line.svg)

Not done. Need more specific consensus on how to handle this. Questions that come to my mind: First, what other alias should be used? If one enters {{rint|sandiego|s}}, it will still display Silver Line. Is that still OK? What about also using {{rint|sandiego|red}}, as the line was known as the red line prior to 2012? In any case, it would require a complete rewrite of the line rendering showtext: it is using a #invoke:ustring|sub to only compare the first letter, and will display the Silver Line link regardless if you use {{rint|sandiego|s|showtext="y"}}, {{rint|sandiego|silver|showtext="y"}}, {{rint|sandiego|Special Event|showtext="y"}} or {{rint|sandiego|[any word that starts with "s"]|showtext="y"}}.

Also, should both versions link to their specific relevant section ((Special Event Line (San Diego Trolley)#Current route (2022-present) and Special Event Line (San Diego Trolley)#2005–2012 route. Or should the most recent version link to the top/lead section of the article? Zzyzx11 (talk) 08:15, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
