I have updated this page and added some integral symbols so Im not sure whether it could do with further updates Gingerblokey 17:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Since we are linking this legend from various articles in the article namespace, I moved this page from the Wikipedia namespace to the template namespace as per WP:SELF. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:56, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to experiment here to test your rail map building skills before doing an official Wiki article map, like as on a sand board, because it is a very tricky thing to plan out A map symbol key is set below, followed by the test map.
Can someone codify a symbol for HST minor station and similar for BST with a small level crossing x before and after it, otherwise we have two symbols to use in a row which seems overkill. An attempt has been made with BHF+BUE but is so counterintuitive as one X on top of a station it has obviously been rightfully omitted from this list.- Adam37 Talk 17:31, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. There is a consensus that this is not in the ideal spot right now, but there is no consensus on where to move it. The Help namespace is not for articles such as this, and content-specific information usually doesn't go in Wikipedia namespace. Perhaps a larger conversation is necessary to determine where this belongs. ( non-admin closure) Brad v 05:04, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
Template:Railway line legend → Help:Railway line legend – See discussion at Wikipedia talk:Route diagram template#Diagram articles. As has been mentioned before this is not really a template, as it only transcluded into a very few user pages, and the main use is the links from many RDTs. Therefore it would make sense to have this in help space rather than user space. Optimist on the run ( talk) 12:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
{{#switch: {{{legend|}}}
statement to the bottom of the table. {{
BS-table}} and
Module:Routemap could also be modified in a similar way. And the Help namespace is not really optimal. Again, as stated on
WP:HELPNS, it is suppose to "contain information intended to help use Wikipedia or its software", not really for pages such as this. And some Wikipedia mirrors as a general rule may omit the entire Help namespace because almost all of it is relevant for only Wikipedia. The reason I chose to move it to the template namespace back in 2007 was that it was a compromise at the time: these mirrors needed to include templates or most of the articles would not render correctly.

and not an end template so it can't be added easily. If you want to go through all of those and convert them to {{
Routemap}} or even {{
BS-map}}, you'd probably have to review all of them manually because of things like noinclude tags, switch parser functions and {{
Infobox RDT}}. You could just add the legend, I suppose, but it's probably not worth the effort just to do that, since {{
BS-table}} has been deprecated for five years.

I'm not sure how to do that, but it really should exist, especially for systems like the NYC subway, which has many stations that are only accessible for trains heading in a single direction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henrygg98 ( talk • contribs) 04:05, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

The only workaround to this I've seen is to display an accessibility symbol next to the line and station (at right). I can see it maybe getting a little unwieldy, but I imagine that most stations with limited services also have limited connections, leaving room adjacent to the pHST symbol. - MJ ( talk) 22:17, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
I have to say I'm not a fan of this system and it's extensive use. Often they are used in "route maps" for train systems and they end up being completely useless for Wikipedia articles as they don't help understand the relative routes to the surrounding city map. They should not be used in "route maps" and instead be reserved for whatever purpose they were originally used for. Ergzay ( talk) 12:15, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
