I propose to merge Infobox London Station into Infobox station. I think that the content in the London station template can easily be replicated in infobox station just like the move of Infobox GB station into Infobox station. Smithr32 (talk) 20:33, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

:I'm not sure it should be merged. The biggest difference is the multiple sets of passenger figures under different headings. I am not sure how to smoothly implement that, whilst retaining generality for use in other stations, and also preventing misuse of the generality. Unless a good proposal to get around that is found, I do not think it's likely to be a good merge. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:26, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

:We should still hold on with London station, it is a situation similar to New York City Subway station. Both should be scrutinized before any mergers are put forward. Cards84664 23:45, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

::It would have been better to merge {{tlx|Infobox GB station}} into {{tlx|Infobox London station}} because the latter is, by and large, a superset of the former - only a few features of GB station are not provided by London station. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

:{{re|Smithr32}} looked into this more recently, this is probably more feasible than I originally imagined above. Played around with a few demo conversions in my sandbox (the first two), very roughly. I think the key here is on presentation of the passenger information. The data can be carried over given {{para|system}} in {{t|Rail pass box}}, but not sure on the presentation of that data atm. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 08:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

I was editing Chinese Garden MRT station and the closest car park is a HDB carpark, which is a short distance from the station. Compared to Eunos MRT station (which has car park directly next to it), should I put in yes if the carpark is a short distance away? And how close should a station be to a parking lot in order to be considered as 'having parking'. Imbluey2. Please ping me so that I get notified of your response 03:12, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I've noticed on one station, and I wouldn't be surprised if this confusion spreads to other locations, the parameter "borough" gives the location. At least where I am from a borough is an actual governmental entity/district with a mayor. The infobox should either be changed from "Borough" to "Location" or could someone add that as a separate parameter or something like "settlement"?

See above as the definition of "Borough" is different per country

Diff:

I am actually requesting that the parameter "settlement" or "location" be added. Difficultly north (talk) Time, department skies 20:00, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

{{Edit template-protected|answered=yes}}

Description of suggested change:

Restore infobox width limit of 20em and image width limit of 300px, in order to fix display issues on Vector style with small text and Vector 2010 style. This has to be invoked manually now because of a recent WMF change.

::@Cards84664: This should have been discussed more widely, since this is a pretty major visual change to tens of thousands of articles. Since the defaults for both thumbnail width and text size have been increased encyclopedia-wide, it seems strange to set a limited fixed width for an infobox. @Paine Ellsworth: I request you revert to the previous version until a discussion can take place.

:::FYI, the math at WP:IMGSIZELEAD has been corrected to allow for an image width of up to 337px to match the new calculated value of {{para|upright|1.35}}. Discussion is ongoing. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:43, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

::::The MediaWiki software rounds odd sizes up to the next multiple of 4; {{para|upright|1.35}} actually emits 340px for those with thumbnail set to 250px and all logged-out users. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:06, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Pi.1415926535}} I'm not sure how reverting to the infobox size we've had for at least 15 years is causing a major issue. Per the discussion linked above, I am hardly the only person against the size increase. It's too big on 13 inch screens. Cards84664 23:47, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

::::@Cards84664: It's not a 1-to-1 reversion. Not only does it prevent the image from scaling with a user's chosen thumbnail size, but the 20em limit causes it to be weirdly narrow on mobile web. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:58, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::{{ping|Pi.1415926535}} True, but it also looks too wide on Vector 2010. Cards84664 18:07, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
