between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 800 metre, use 800 metre, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 800 metre.

[?]I removed the waterway under restoration template (even though it is valid) as it messed up the page layout when the infobox was introduced. Hmallett ( talk) 10:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
This was re-watered in October 2007 but is not yet open to navigation for the following reasons.
Some additional planting was done by a group I was with from the Waterway Recovery Group in Augst 2008.

I don't find the Route map easy to read in respect of which sections of the Montgomery canal are navigable and which aren't...
Dark blue means navigable, light blue means watered but not navigable and green means dewatered/infilled?
What does "Limit of restored canal (northern section)" mean given that it's also noted "Gronwyn Wharf Winding Hole - limit of navigation"? This section between these two points is restored but not navigable? If so, why not?
Why is the section between "Carreghofa Lane (barrier to navigation)" and "Northern Limit of Navigation (Welshpool Section)" shown in dark blue when it's presumably not navigable? Shouldn't it be displayed in light blue or green?
Why is the section between "Southern Limit of Navigation (Welshpool Section)" and "Freestone Lock" shown in dark blue when it's presumably not navigable? Shouldn't it be displayed in light blue or green?

I have corrected this from 24 to 27. This now matches the route maps, the original number of locks plus Graham Palmer lock (added during restoration) and Bradshaw 1904 (allowing for Graham Palmer lock). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zin92 ( talk • contribs) 06:37, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Today I came across a front page local newspaper story that as part of the 2021 Budget the Chancellor announced the Powys County Council had succeeded in its bid to secure funding (amount stated £16M) to further restore the canal and reconnect it to the national canal network at Ellesmere. I have mentioned it in the subsection Below Frankton of section Restoration, although it might be moved elsewhere others consider more appropriate. It would be interesting if knowledgeable users (I do not live in Powys Council area but Shropshire itself) could add if they find it more background to the envisaged reconnection.
