The A525 (in GB) lost its section of primary route in 2010.^[1] I've created a non-primary symbol for it, ^[2] ("secondary" in the file name is a misnomer,^[3] but other UK road symbols already had similar names). What would I need to do for this to be used in the various templates in place of the current symbol? Aoeuidhtns (talk) 23:26, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need the {{About|the segment of U.S. Highway 00 in State}} in state-specific articles, such as U.S. Route 14 in Wisconsin for example? The title of those articles are not ambiguous, and the parent articles are linked in the lead. @Imzadi1979 style="color #964b00 Cyber the tiger🐯 (talk) 04:55, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CyberTheTiger: I think this is the wrong project to discuss this (probably should be at WT:USRD), but either way, those are standard across the collection of those articles to provide a specific link back to the parent national-detail article. Otherwise, too often people were trying to link the first mention of the name to the parent. Per the MOS, we're not supposed to link anything in the bold statement of the name of the article in the lead. It's not about ambiguity, it's about providing a link back to the parent article. Also, the template in use is {{highway detail hatnote}}, not {{about}}. Imzadi 1979 → 06:25, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been planning on starting to create articles for the prefectural roads of Japan, however I was wondering what the best route to take would be (no pun intended!)

My initial plan was to create separate articles for each road (idea 1), most of which already exist on the Japanese wiki which makes it easier than writing 1000+ articles from scratch. WP:NROAD says "state and provincial highways are typically notable", so I believe individual articles would be okay, although I'm still not 100% sure on that.

However, I began to wonder whether or not it would be better to just create a list for each prefecture. I then wondered if I should make them similar to lists like List of state highways in Louisiana and A roads in Zone 1 of the Great Britain numbering scheme (idea 2) - which are just tables listing the routes' basic information - or more like List of state highways in Louisiana (100–149) - which has sections for each with an infobox and brief descriptions (idea 3).

I'm really not sure if it's best to go with idea 1, 2, or 3, and if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, harrz ^talk 22:17, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
