Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Taiwan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page State. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:MRT station and Template:Mrtl
A tag has been placed on Template:MRT station and Template:Mrtl requesting that they be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because they are unused duplicates of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if they are still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the templates will be deleted.
If the templates are not actually the same as the other templates noted, please consider putting a note on the templates' pages explaining how they are different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>

I'm not sure how many times you've been warned about mass changes using AWB and Taiwan related articles. You are systematically changing all date formats to something not used by Taiwan. I have told you not to do this whether through AWB or not, and so have administrators. Please revert ALL the changes you have made. Examples are here, here, here, and here. It looks like 25 done just today! It was also discussed at the Taiwan talk page so you know darned well it is controversial and non-consensus.

@Fyunck(click): Are you ok with yyyy-mm-dd in lists, tables and infoboxes? That is what East Asia uses. Szqecs (talk) 07:32, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- I would run it by the Taiwan talk page where it was initially brought up, and the administrator who admonished you. They also use mm-dd-yyyy but my understanding is that your suggestion of yyyy-mm-dd is much more prevalent in Taiwan. I'm not sure if we are supposed to mass change things like that so you might need consensus at talk:Taiwan, but I'm ok with it if everyone else is. Thanks for asking and happy editing.

Module:Adjacent stations
Recent edits at Module:Adjacent stations have put many articles in the script error category. Also, are you sure it is a good idea to redefine standard Lua type
by using Type
? Johnuniq (talk) 10:22, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- What is this script error category and why is this considered error when the module works just fine? Szqecs (talk) 10:30, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- The link above shows articles that are in Category:Pages with script errors. That is caused by a module responding with an error. I purged the category and it seems many of the errors were fixed. That sometimes occurs when a couple of edits are made to a module—the first edit might have resulted in an error that was fixed shortly after. However, the system can respond slowly and the error message might stay until a null edit occurs at the article.
An example of a problem is at Hankou railway station which currently shows Lua error in Module:Adjacent_stations at line 542: attempt to concatenate local 'color' (a nil value).That might be due to an error in the article wikitext, or a problem in the module. There might not be any other articles with a problem—the system is slow at the moment and it is not responding as it normally does to the purge I did. Hmm, on previewing, that error I mentioned is gone and I see Jc86035 is editing the module. Perhaps that removed some of the errors? Johnuniq (talk) 11:50, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

"National Freeway" vs. "National freeway"
In normal English, if there are two words in front of a number in a highway name, and one is capitalized as part of the proper name, then both should be capitalized because the first word is modifying the second, and the two of them are jointly modifying the number. "State Route 1" is correctly capitalized, but "State route 1" is not. So if these roadways are really named as such, "National Freeway 1" is the correct capitalization, but "National freeway 1" is not.
As for "Route nationale 1", that is a French name, and it follows French capitalization and word order. If it were translated to English, it would be "National Route 1", and not "national Route 1" nor "National route 1". Imzadi 1979 → 18:56, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
if there are two words in front of a number in a highway name, and one is capitalized as part of the proper name, then both should be capitalized because the first word is modifying the second, and the two of them are jointly modifying the number.
Do you have a linguistic reference for that? Because I've never heard of that before. I am simply following ]- Also, who says these titles are proper names? See Proper noun#Proper names. Things can be referred to in either a proper or non-proper manner. Szqecs (talk) 19:20, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, the Freeway Bureau uses "National Freeway" on its website. -happy5214 06:53, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- The bureau (and most Taiwanese people for that matter) capitalises everything, proper or not. On the said page, I see 'Contact Us', 'Safe Driving Tips' and 'Related Websites'. If 'National Freeway' is a proper name, the two words should always be used together, which is not the case: 'Freeway No. 1'. Szqecs (talk) 07:05, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, the Freeway Bureau uses "National Freeway" on its website. -happy5214 06:53, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
Well, is 'Second Northern Freeway' proper? There are barely any uses of this term on the internet. What about 'Ten Major Construction Projects'? It is not even concrete thing, but an idea. What about 'Director's Mailbox'? Given that aforementioned page has quite a few grammar and style issues, such as no space after full stop, 'the new Freeway Bureau' etc, I would not consider these names to be proper just because they are capitalised. And that is besides the point. There are many instances of 'Freeway No. x' on the website without the word 'National', so claiming these names are proper means claiming they have at least two proper names, which just seems unlikely. Szqecs (talk) 16:05, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- I'll respond to the points made above when I have more time. In the meantime, I have linked to this discussion from the WikiProject Highways talk page, in the hopes of getting more eyes on this. -happy5214 12:07, 6 November 2018 (UTC)]
