To help centralise discussions and keep related topics together, the following pages redirect here:

double-U halved

Please see {{Suez Canal map}}. In the third row, there is text "W" and "E" (for West and East entrance). The "W" is half hidden under the following icon. Can someone move that letter to the left to make it visible? Or, if necessary, completely to the right of its following icon. Thanks. -DePiep (talk)

Madurai Metro

Would someone please investigate the new {{Madurai Metro route diagram}} added by VendhanKovan at Madurai Metro. It is putting that article in the hidden Category:Pages with script errors. Is that because {{Madurai Metro color}} currently does not exist? Johnuniq (talk) 02:36, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and I've removed it. Premature for a system that doesn't exist yet. Mackensen (talk) 02:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Johnuniq (talk) 03:44, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

text-width parameter

It is difficult to use the parameter text-width, as it is not explained here that it accepts multiple values (maybe comma-searated?), see the called Routemap module at row 839. Is it possible to explain how to use it better? ZandDev (msg) 20:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Export as png or image?

I came across a transport map and wanted to see it larger and save it as a .png, but could not seem to. This seems counterintuitive for a casual user. Am I overlooking something? Has this functionality ever been addressed? Is it even possible? Knulclunk (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Knulclunk: this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the template {{Routemap}}. Whilst the template does make use of images, they are all relatively simple SVGs such as c:File:BSicon BHF.svg. It certainly doesn't use pre-saved maps. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:35, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to BSsplit and BSto display

I have modified the display of {{BSsplit}} and {{BSto}} by using TemplateStyles to ensure that the font size is always the same for the templates when they are used within {{Routemap}}. This is accomplished by adding font-size: 90% to those cases where they are used in the main text cell.

The main result of this is presumably that visual gaps will no longer appear between rows in older diagrams that were constructed before the 2020 font size changes. I believe the templates still comply with the accessibility guidelines, as the smaller font size in both {{BSsplit}} and {{BSto}} is still 85.5% of the regular font size. Please let me know if I broke anything. Jc86035 (talk) 19:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
