Stations only used during events[edit]

Which one is generally recommended for stations only used during events (sample: at concert or football venues).

  • "HST" may be confused with regularly serviced stops on the line.
  • "BST" could work, but is recommended for non-passenger service (which it would be most of the time). This is also what is being used in de:Bremgarten-Dietikon-Bahn (stop after "Wohlen Oberdorf", name to be determined)
  • "pHST" which mentions "limited service halt" somewhere, but seems to be for express stops (also per its description).

  (pBHF) and   (pHST) are the correct icons for stations and stops that only see partial or occasional service. Details should be noted either on the diagram or the parent article. Useddenim (talk) 12:40, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks (also for the update of the description). Maybe Category:BSicon/railway/stations and stops/express and subcategories should be renamed too. Enhancing999 (talk) 05:47, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BS-Catalogue buggy?[edit]

Browsing the image catalogues is no fun at the moment. Until recently, only the icons that actually existed were displayed. Non-existent pictures were hidden. Now something is also displayed where nothing exists, namely the name with a red link. This makes no sense at all, the columns become unnecessarily wide and everything becomes completely confusing. Has there been an edit somewhere that caused this or is it even intentional? Lantus (talk) 09:11, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was recently reported elsewhere and, appararently, being worked on.
I used to create BSicon catalog tables with the following wiki-code for each icon:
  • [[File:BSicon_(NAME).svg|x20px|×]]
(see example). This displays the icon normally, or, if the file doesn’t exist, it shows a little red "×" — less than 20px wide, so not messing up tables.
This style went out of use because some gadget allows to hide missing file calls, instead of redlinking their names, but that gadget is now broken and only those old style catalogs are usable.

So this was not fixed elsehere yet. And when one peeks into {{BSicon catalogue}} it’s just a shell for Module:BSicon catalogue. Which is somehow a good thing because instead of a system in which 100 power users could keep things prodding along by tweaking what’s basicly rich text, now it’s all in the hands of those 10 people who can actually code. @Jc86035: pinging one of them. Help? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 04:15, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed.  - oahiyeel talk 16:56, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed split at BSicon/Catalogue/stations[edit]

The BSicon/Catalogue/stations page has so many templates that it exceeded the template limit, resulting in the footer template not rendering. In addition, the page loads quite slowly for low-end computers. I propose splitting the station page, but I am not sure which section should move to another page. AlphaBeta135talk 16:57, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest separate pages for:

✓ Done So I separated the non-passenger station from the main station page. AlphaBeta135talk 21:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New version of BSicon_uhSTRae.svg[edit]

I need a version of this bridge that obscures whatever is beneath the bridge, so I added a white square below the parapets, but otherwise it appears identical. I cannot upload it, as it says I was not the original author. It suggests giving it a new name. What new name would anyone suggest for an icon that looks identical to an existing one? Bob1960evens (talk) 14:35, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a temporary solution, I have uploaded it as   (uehSTRae), but it doesn't appear on the table of icons, because the other versions sit on a line labelled BRUCKE. Bob1960evens (talk) 14:51, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I note that the   (uhSTRae) icon displays because there is a redirect for uBRUCKE, but cannot find how to create a redirect. Bob1960evens (talk) 11:36, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The correct filename is   (uhMSTRae), M signifying the the icon contains masking – which, by the way, should be #F9F9F9 rather than white. Useddenim (talk) 03:59, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
