I removed Scotch gauge and added the worlds dominant gauges, as defined by the map. This I did with unbold links. Opinions? Maybe this also could be turned into an Infobox, like used for other series of articles. TrackConnect ( talk) 16:42, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Iberian gauge, Indian gauge, Russian gauge, Meter gauge and Cape gauge ---- all are more important than Scotch. See the map of dominant gauges - but always it gets reverted. I don't understand why. Nobody brings concerns. All people interested can put their concerns here. We don't need pre-consensus for such clear improvement. What is Scotch nowadays? And than ask what is Cape and Russian. Look at the installed basis!!

How about two templates - this one having:
Then a second one to go at the bottom of the page, with each and every rail gauge article linked in it? Wongm ( talk) 03:42, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Dear Wongm, thanks a lot for your constructive feedback. I would like more such stuff. I removed the additions (and kept Scotch removed), now there is footer Template:Rail gauges.
I still wonder whether this there is any Admin that could be so constructive and fix
Template:RailGauge? See

The Iberian gauge should be 1,668 mm (5 ft 5.67 in), 1,668 mm (5 ft 5+21⁄32 in) or 5'5.67", NOT 5'5.85". Likewise 1,520 mm (4 ft 11.84 in) 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in), 1,000 mm (3 ft 3.37 in) 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) and 600 mm (1 ft 11.62 in) 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) Peter Horn User talk 03:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
There apparently is something wrong about width in Google Chrome. The infobox goes out of the screen to the right.-- Kozuch ( talk) 22:15, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
The map shows Hawaii as standard gage but I believe Hawaii's limited rails-in-place are not standard gage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.62.117.228 ( talk) 07:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
I've removed the row for Breitspurbahn, this is an historical curiosity that was only planned and was never built. I think there are other gauges that would probably merit being in this table before this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.19.139 ( talk) 20:09, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Something tells me that the more natural order of the list is: from small to large. Invert? - DePiep ( talk) 13:05, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
I just removed "750 mm" from the list. It does not have its own page. - DePiep ( talk) 22:20, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

I noticed this template in use on Toronto streetcar system and Toronto rapid transit, although the Toronto Transit Commission's 4 ft 10+7⁄8 in (1,495 mm) gauge is not listed. I see there's lots of discussion here about which gauges to include, so rather than boldly add it to the already long list, I've removed the template from the articles, but do you think it should be added to the list instead? Supposedly it's a former British carriage gauge, but I don't see an article on it here. Toronto streetcar system has a better explanation and predates the subway by about 90 years anyway.

Is there a reason why there is no inches to mm conversion functionality within the "RailGauge" template for (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) track gauges?
Example.
11+5⁄8 is expressed as a decimal as 11.625 however the function does not convert to mm. Willsmith3 ( Talk) 00:00, 3 March 2017 (UTC) −
Why is the map shown on the sidebar different to the one on this talk page? In particular the standard and 2' gauge squares are missing from South Africa on the sidebar version. Tom walker ( talk) 11:12, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello, could 4 ft 6 in gauge railway be included? It is already included in Template:Track gauge sidebar/sandbox Peter Horn User talk 17:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
