Page cleanup

On the page List of highways numbered A7, there are no distinct sections for highways in different nations. Should we make new sections in the page to match the layout of all its counterpart pages? ~2025-32312-50 (talk) 13:42, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why would we do that? What's your idea? It's a simple and relatively short list ordered by country name with one list entry per country (or constituent country on the case of the UK). I don't see what value multiple headings would add. 10mmsocket (talk) 13:47, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So looking at the various "List of highways numbered Ax" I can see at A1, A2, A3, A4... etc are all the same. The only one that differs is List of A5 roads, which has continent headings. But as the list is so short - about a page long - it really doesn't add any value. I think the A5 list is worse than the others t.b.h. 10mmsocket (talk) 13:51, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gretna Green services

Is this really notable? Bearian (talk) 00:53, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's as notable as any other UK motorway service station. However the article is an unreferenced stub so unless someone adopts and improves it I can't see it surviving. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:54, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
