Talk:Gardens by the Bay MRT station

New name

Should the article be renamed from Gardens by the Bay MRT Station to Gardens By The Bay MRT Station? The minor capitalization of the letters have appeared in the latest updated map from the LTA. http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/dam/ltaweb/corp/PublicTransport/img/Train%20System%20Map%20July%202014.jpg

Station infobox changes

Seloloving and ZKang123, I have made some incremental changes to station infoboxes, which I shall detail below.

Change 1

The first change is the inclusion of an SCDF shelter glyph. I had originally positioned it between the station code and English name. I then shifted it to the "type" parameter, below "Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station", where it is more discreet and less obtrusive.

Gardens by the Bay  TE22  滨海湾花园 சரையோரப் பூந்தோட்டங்கள் Taman di Pesisiran
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station

Gardens by the Bay  TE22  滨海湾花园 சரையோரப் பூந்தோட்டங்கள் Taman di Pesisiran
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station

Change 2

The second change I made was to add qualifiers to the "type" parameter in the infobox. Before I made this change, the value was uniform across the board ("Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station"). I have diversified it into the 6 following values:

1. For a non-interchange, non-terminal station: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station
Examples: Cashew, Pasir Panjang

2. For a non-interchange, terminal station: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) terminus
Examples: Punggol Coast, Tuas Link

3. For an interchange, non-terminal station: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange
Examples: Outram Park, Botanic Gardens

4. For an interchange station that is the terminus of some lines: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange and terminus
Examples: Dhoby Ghaut, Tanah Merah, Tengah

5. For an interchange station that is the terminus of all lines serving it: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) termini
note: "interchange" omitted here because it would be superfluous as "termini" (plural) implies more than one line
Examples: HarbourFront, Sungei Bedok

6. For a non-interchange, non-terminal station, but with terminating services: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station and terminus
Examples: Stadium

The same logic applies to standalone LRT stations, LRT termini, and LRT stations that interchange with MRT stations. Unopened or shell stations get a "Future" prefix added to the above values.

Change 3 (prospective)

The last change I would like to make, but one I am withholding from until further consensus is sought, is to relegate the Malay, Chinese, and Tamil station names from the top of the infobox to a nested area within the infobox (what I previously did on the main Mass Rapid Transit and line pages). I tried this in sandbox with the other_name parameter:

Gardens by the Bay  TE22  滨海湾花园 சரையோரப் பூந்தோட்டங்கள் Taman di Pesisiran
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station

Gardens by the Bay MRT station
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station
General information
Other names	Taman di Pesisiran (Malay) 滨海湾花园 (Chinese) சரையோரப் பூந்தோட்டங்கள் (Tamil)

In my view it looks better, tidier, and harmonises MRT infoboxes with other train articles throughout Wikipedia. It will also provide us with space to include Roman transcriptions for Mandarin and Tamil, which can differ significantly from the English names. I would like to use a North Korean example I got from Template:Infobox station:

Sinanju Ch'ŏngnyŏn Station
General information
Location	Anju, South Pyongan Province North Korea
Line(s)	P'yŏngŭi Line Kaech'ŏn Line

I look forward to your input.
