{{ping|User:Gareth}} Sorry to see you go as I have been heavily reliant on your guidance as to what edits should be reverted, etc. I had also hoped to have seen [[Draft:Mosman Bay ferry services]] and [[Draft:Mosman Bay ferry services]] finalised so that the Sydney ferry services would all have their own page so that [[Inner Harbour ferry services]] which is out of date could finally be done away with. |

Hi. I noticed your work on maps for the Sydney and Adelaide light rail routes (brilliant work by the way), and I was wondering if you could give me some guidance on how to start using this map extension. Namely, where to download it (the links I've followed are not really helping) and some pointers on how to start using the extension. Regards. – [[User:Nick Mitchell 98|Nick Mitchell 98]] <sup>[[User talk:Nick Mitchell 98|talk]]</sup> 12:23, 16 July 2017 (UTC) |

:Unfortunately, the WMF has lost interest in furthering development of the maps feature. This means the <nowiki><mapframe></nowiki> function - used to display a map directly within a page - is not available at English Wikipedia. There are some annoyances with Commons maps - the preview function only works one per edit, for instance. But overall maps are quite easy, if fiddly, to edit once you get the hang of it. |

I'm uncertain if moving Glenelg Tram statistics from the [[Glenelg Tram]] page to the [[Trams in Adelaide]] page is such a good idea.<br> |
|||
Yes, I read your edit comment, but I'm afraid I don't follow your logic. Do you mind expanding on your reasoning a little? With thanks, [[User:Pdfpdf|Pdfpdf]] ([[User talk:Pdfpdf|talk]]) 06:51, 2 December 2017 (UTC) |
|||
:{{ping|pdfpdf}} Some content has already been move from [[Glenelg tram]] to [[Trams in Adelaide]] (not by me) and the link at [[Template:TramsAustralia]] has been switched, so I assume Trams in Adelaide has become or is becoming the main article. The Adelaide tram network is expanding next year with the extension to the East End. We don't yet know what the network will look like one this opens, [http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/government-tries-explaining-why-adelaide-trams-could-turn-right-100-years-ago-but-not-now/news-story/77c39dc5ceb74ed5c657978a9bdf6ac0 but we do know it will consist of least two lines]. The source for the patronage figure is [https://dpti.sa.gov.au/annual_report/dpti_annual_report_2016-17_online_version/section_b_reporting_required_under_any_other_act_or_regulation#passenger_transport_act the DPTI annual report]. This provides patronage figures by mode, and I have not seen any source that breaks down the figures by line. This means that once the extension opens it will likely be impossible to report a figure for just the Glenelg line. So I moved the section based on a combination of these reasons.

::(Sadly, article "[http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/government-tries-explaining-why-adelaide-trams-could-turn-right-100-years-ago-but-not-now/news-story/77c39dc5ceb74ed5c657978a9bdf6ac0 it will consist of at least two lines]" is behind a paywall.

===Patronage graph=== |
|||
:It's a very misleading graph. I think it should be broken into two graphs, one up to 2013-14 and one for 2014-15 onwards. [[User:Adpete|Adpete]] ([[User talk:Adpete|talk]]) 04:08, 3 December 2017 (UTC) |
|||
::{{tps}} |
|||
::I wouldn't say the graph is "misleading" (much less "very misleading"), but I can see advantages in splitting it at 30 June 2014. A couple of other comments on the data include: |
|||
::*The data is millions of boardings, not journeys. |
|||
::*I dislike graphs with unlabelled axes (but that may be non-trivial to address). |
|||
::*[[Glenelg tram#Controversy]] states that 100,000 extra trips in the 3 months to Nov 2007 "dramatically exceeded its capacity". Looking at the patronage in adjacent years, I don't see why. |
|||
::Cheers, [[User:Pdfpdf|Pdfpdf]] ([[User talk:Pdfpdf|talk]]) 05:26, 3 December 2017 (UTC) |
|||
:::I've modified the graph so that it's split into multiple series. I've also added labels to the axes. I think patronage increased substantially after the opening of the city centre extension, but it remained hidden because the new trips took place within the free travel zone. The change to include free travel in the statistics provided a much more accurate depiction of the line's usage. [[User:Gareth|Gareth]] ([[User talk:Gareth#top|talk]]) 08:24, 5 December 2017 (UTC) |
|||
::::''I've modified the graph ... '' - Yes - quite an improvement. ''I think patronage increased ... '' - Well analysed! Yes, I expect you're correct. Given that people don't "swipe" when they make a free trip in the city, I wonder how the number of boardings is measured? [[User:Pdfpdf|Pdfpdf]] ([[User talk:Pdfpdf|talk]]) 08:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC) |
|||
:::::I'm not sure how the boardings are measured in the free zone. I do know that passenger count sensor systems are available, so my best guess is that one of those systems is installed. [[User:Gareth|Gareth]] ([[User talk:Gareth#top|talk]]) 07:56, 7 December 2017 (UTC) |
