I propose to remove the 783 mm gauge from the definitons list. As the sourcing article HOn30_gauge explains, this is just a theoretical (prototype) gauge.

At least one UK quarry used 2 ft 3+1⁄2 in (699 mm). This was Boon's Granite Quarries near Nuneaton. [12] I know nothing of the quarry, but they were the first customer, in 1929, for Kerr Stuart's widely-used DX-1 contractor's loco. These had a 30 hp McLaren petrol engine and the first had a Robertson CVT. They're in Webb's book, Webb, Brian (1973). The British Internal Combustion Locomotive, 1894-1940. David & Charles. p. 62.

Reason for changing "Victorian broad gauge" to "Australian broad gauge"
1600 mm (5ft 3in) gauge exists in the Australian states of Victoria and South Australia (and, now trivially, existed in Tasmania in the 19th century). Australia-wide, the broad gauge is not known as "Victorian broad gauge" but simply "broad gauge". Victoria has no special claim to the "Victorian" nomenclature on the basis of history or any other reason. Changing the term to "Australian broad gauge" would recognise the common usage and the fact that it does not exist solely in Victoria.
Consequent suggested changes
In the "List of defined track gauges" table, in the 1,600 mm row:
Similarly, in the "Named gauges" table:
|answ=pause

Seems to have been an error introduced in a change to the Toronto gauge entry.
Basically, when the article was moved from
Toronto gauge to
Toronto-gauge railways, the entry in the data here was changed such that {{Track gauge|Toronto|first=met|allk=on}}
(basically the |allk=on
version) lists "
Toronto-gauge railways" instead of what it should list, which is "
Toronto gauge" (i.e. list the name of the gauge as the link text, not the name of the article it links to).
This can be seen in the second paragraph of this, where the sentence reads: The trains are powered by linear induction motors and operate on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge tracks, unlike the city's subway lines and the Toronto streetcar system, which use the unique 1,495 mm (4 ft 10+7⁄8 in) Toronto gauge.
You can see the usage expects the template to generate something like "standard gauge", not "standard-gauge railway". You can see how Toronto sticks out currently as wrong in the table of gauges, where all the other "Alt Name" entries are in the form "[location name] gauge" (e.g. "Ohio gauge", "Russian gauge") whereas Toronto's entry is "Toronto-gauge railways".
I think I've fixed this in the sandbox here but to be honest I couldn't quite figure out how to test changes made to the sandbox version of /data.
Anyway, can someone either make the change as per the link I've provided or, if it's incorrect, fix it so that when |allk=
is set to "on" for "Toronto", it lists "Toronto gauge" as the link text and not "Toronto-gauge railways"?

Should |disp s=

generate any space around the backslash separator?
At present there's no spacing and it's hard to read, the two terms running closer together than even their numerals and units: Thin space

{{convert|5|ft|6|in|mm|abbr=on|disp=x|/}}

November 2014. That link shows an example of how it looked before removal: "55 miles / 89 kilometres" with a non-breaking space before the slash. Convert still allows a slash in a range as requested for high/low temperature ranges which is apparently standard for weather reports (

At least one UK quarry used 2 ft 3+1⁄2 in (699 mm). This was Boon's Granite Quarries near Nuneaton. [12] I know nothing of the quarry, but they were the first customer, in 1929, for Kerr Stuart's widely-used DX-1 contractor's loco. These had a 30 hp McLaren petrol engine and the first had a Robertson CVT. They're in Webb's book, Webb, Brian (1973). The British Internal Combustion Locomotive, 1894-1940. David & Charles. p. 62.

Reason for changing "Victorian broad gauge" to "Australian broad gauge"
1600 mm (5ft 3in) gauge exists in the Australian states of Victoria and South Australia (and, now trivially, existed in Tasmania in the 19th century). Australia-wide, the broad gauge is not known as "Victorian broad gauge" but simply "broad gauge". Victoria has no special claim to the "Victorian" nomenclature on the basis of history or any other reason. Changing the term to "Australian broad gauge" would recognise the common usage and the fact that it does not exist solely in Victoria.
Consequent suggested changes
In the "List of defined track gauges" table, in the 1,600 mm row:
Similarly, in the "Named gauges" table:
|answ=pause

{{Track gauge|4ft6in|lk=on}}

both generate a link to

generates a link to
Toden Arakawa Line, which is inappropriate as I mentioned above. Likewise the cases with "4ft6in" and "54in", {{Track gauge|1372mm|lk=on}}

Seems to have been an error introduced in a change to the Toronto gauge entry.
Basically, when the article was moved from
Toronto gauge to
Toronto-gauge railways, the entry in the data here was changed such that {{Track gauge|Toronto|first=met|allk=on}}
(basically the |allk=on
version) lists "
Toronto-gauge railways" instead of what it should list, which is "
Toronto gauge" (i.e. list the name of the gauge as the link text, not the name of the article it links to).
This can be seen in the second paragraph of this, where the sentence reads: The trains are powered by linear induction motors and operate on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge tracks, unlike the city's subway lines and the Toronto streetcar system, which use the unique 1,495 mm (4 ft 10+7⁄8 in) Toronto gauge.
You can see the usage expects the template to generate something like "standard gauge", not "standard-gauge railway". You can see how Toronto sticks out currently as wrong in the table of gauges, where all the other "Alt Name" entries are in the form "[location name] gauge" (e.g. "Ohio gauge", "Russian gauge") whereas Toronto's entry is "Toronto-gauge railways".
I think I've fixed this in the sandbox here but to be honest I couldn't quite figure out how to test changes made to the sandbox version of /data.
Anyway, can someone either make the change as per the link I've provided or, if it's incorrect, fix it so that when |allk=
is set to "on" for "Toronto", it lists "Toronto gauge" as the link text and not "Toronto-gauge railways"?
