Please add several lines to the Boston section as seen in this sandbox edit. Thanks! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:37, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Pi.1415926535: please look at the [test cases]. In the future it would be very helpful for you to link to a test cases demonstration like that. Are those results what you were expecting? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 08:10, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth: Yes, those are the expected results. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 08:12, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

CC: The Emperor of Byzantium, I am planning to simplify the entry for Thessaloniki to use {{ric}} like in Athens because the current syntax is fragmented. However, this means I need to juggle the switches around and phase out some extraneous switches (like ∏1) to make the simplification work. Also, I wish to make switch p (for Περιφερειακές) work the same as Athens).

The test cases are at Template:Rail-interchange/testcases#Thessaloniki (1 April_2025 - testing), and I have drafted a transition plan here, and I think the first phase edit will be like this. The second phase will involve linking switch p to Module:Adjacent stations/Thessaloniki Regional Railway after all existing instances are replaced by switch park.

My health isn't that great as before, so I probably need some help to check the code and do the syntax replacements as the transition progresses, since nothing can go wrong. FYI, the search term insource:"rint\|thessaloniki\|[switch]" could be used to keep track of the replacements. --Minoa (talk) 06:30, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Minoa, Thank you for letting me know and thank you for all you have done up to now... I can truly sympathise with your situation as both my mental and physical health has declined in recent years so please don't over tax yourself, I will help any way I can, moving the Greek rail network forward... just let me know. You do what you can, when you can! I will get done, "one edit at a time" =) take care ✠ Emperor of Byzantium ✠ (talk) 23:08, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am ready to propose phase 1 of the simplification of the Thessaloniki entry. --Minoa (talk) 04:05, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please add the line regarding the Gold Line from my sandbox edits. I have also made a test case. Also, I would appreciate any help changing the color of the text in the box to #0066CC, as my edit appears to have had no effect. Thanks.

@NotDragonius: The example in your test case does not confirm with the requirements of WP:ACCESSIBILITY, in particular MOS:CONTRAST. Black text on a "gold" background would. Bazza 7 (talk) 09:23, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I tried changing it to black but it doesn't seem to work - any idea what I'm doing wrong? NotDragonius (talk) 20:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NotDragonius Those definitions are not the most efficient or easy to parse; I don't know why they've been done in that fashion. You'll find

| gold =[[File:Metro Minnesota icon.svg|{{{size|16}}}px|link=Metro (Minnesota)]] &lt;span style="background-color:#FFD200; border:1px solid #FFD200; color:white; font-weight:bold; font-size:80%; white-space:nowrap;"&gt;&nbsp;[[Metro Gold Line (Minnesota)|Gold Line]]&nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;

should do what you want. Bazza 7 (talk) 13:08, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it worked - now the test case just says {{rail-interchange}}. NotDragonius (talk) 13:40, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NotDragonius: Sorry, my fault. The code got mangled in the reply. I replaced {{white|Gold Line}} with a simpler Gold Line. Bazza 7 (talk) 14:56, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NotDragonius: Try | gold =[[File:Metro Minnesota icon.svg|{{{size|16}}}px|link=Metro (Minnesota)]] {{rcb|Metro (Minnesota)|Gold|route}} instead. I also fixed Module:Adjacent stations/Metro (Minnesota) to make the Gold Line text colour black. --Minoa (talk) 15:14, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Minoa Thank you, however it seems to be too large compared to the others. I believe the rcb and rint sizes are different. NotDragonius (talk) 20:58, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I got it fully working now, it should be ready to be edited in. NotDragonius (talk) 20:42, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
