Requested move at Talk:National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers#Requested move 12 November 2024

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers#Requested move 12 November 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Cheerio, Mattdaviesfsic. About me; Talk to me. Farewell fellow editor... 12:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Station page linking

Someone please tell me what the actual difference is between Purley and a plain Purley or Purley railway station in full. Cheerio, Mattdaviesfsic. About me; Talk to me. Farewell fellow editor... 21:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Between the first two, none. Which is used is just the personal preference of the editor writing that bit of content.
Between either of the first two and the latter one, it's just whichever works best in the context it's being used. Thryduulf (talk) 21:39, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My question then, if {{stnlink}} does basically nothing, why have it, if we can just use normal [[ ]] wikiliks? Cheerio, Mattdaviesfsic. About me; Talk to me. Farewell fellow editor... 22:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It exists because some editors prefer it as it is easier to type. Personally I just use plain wikilinks, but my preference is no more or less valid than any other editor's. Thryduulf (talk) 22:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see Cheerio, Mattdaviesfsic. About me; Talk to me. Farewell fellow editor... 22:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mattdaviesfsic: {{stnlink|Purley}} is shorter to type than [[Purley railway station|Purley]], plus you only need to write Purley once. But Template:Stnlnk has distinct advantages when it comes to disambiguation: some stations have the parenthetical disambiguator after the words "railway station". e.g. Gillingham railway station (Dorset) and Gillingham railway station (Kent); some have it before, e.g. London Road (Brighton) railway station and London Road (Guildford) railway station. But you don't need to know which format is used - the syntax is the same:
Of course, if you want the words "railway station" to be displayed, using the normal wikilink is the way to go. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aha, thx Cheerio, Mattdaviesfsic. About me; Talk to me. Farewell fellow editor... 23:33, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you prefer writing links out in full, you can use {{subst:stnlnk}}. For example {{subst:stnlnk|Birmingham New Street}} expands to [[Birmingham New Street|Birmingham New Street railway station]]. — Voice of Clam (talk) 08:55, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which sort of DMU is this?

I've come across this photograph on Commons, and I would like to identify which sort of DMU this is so I can categorise it. G-13114 (talk) 15:32, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a British Rail Class 105 - see also Media related to British Rail Class 105 at Wikimedia Commons 10mmsocket (talk) 15:41, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just looking at other articles, British Rail Class 104 and British Rail Class 108 look closer. Not my area of expertise though Difficultly north (talk) Time, department skies 16:14, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly not a 104 or 108, they have 3 windows across the cab front. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:18, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It might be a Class 112? Though I'm not sure how to tell. G-13114 (talk) 18:30, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
