On 22 December 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Z class Melbourne tram. The result of the discussion was no consensus, though there was a suggestion to add redirects from the unhyphenated versions, which received no objection and will be created following closure. |
The infobox is this article is very long, and somewhat overloaded with information, as it deals with all three subclasses. This poses two problems in my eyes, it is causing a stacking issue for the images, and makes image placement more difficult while also limiting the amount of images that can accompany text, while also providing an almost information overload of minutia detail, rather than an overview.
To solve this I propose stripping all specification and sub-class specific information out of the infobox, leaving only general info, and creating a new 'Specification' section with table, this lists all the information in - what I consider to be - an easier to understand and less convoluted manner. It would also offer the opportunity to alter teh headings easier, for example, construction dates are not really relevant for the C, C2, or D class trams, introduction to service dates are far more meaningful.
I have carried out the changes on a version in my sandbox. I would appreciate feedback on if this should be carried out, or the infobox and article left as is. I would also like to do the same thing for other classes of Melbourne trams, so have posted on their talk pages to help enlarge the discussion. Liamdavies ( talk) 08:45, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
I am proposing to remove the hyphen from the title of this tram article, as the official nomenclature from the Department of Transport and Planning is not to have hyphens in tram class names. Examples include on their official website [1], the Melbourne Tram Plan [2] and the PTV website [3]. Other common unofficial sources like Vicsig also do not have a hyphen. I'm also proposing to change all the other Melbourne tram class article names in a similar manner, any feedback welcome! Takerlamar ( talk) 00:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
