Useless short descriptions[edit]

WP:Short descriptions are intended to provide additional information to that directly available from the title. This article's short description provides exactly the same information. Therefore it fails in its purpose. I changed the short description of one of the stations, as not everyone is aware of the meaning of MRT, and was reverted, with the comment that they must follow a fixed format and to comment here if I want any change to be considered. I suggest that the short descriptions be made more useful, but do not intend to take any further personal action. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 16:50, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image montage[edit]

Tao Payoh is not the appropriate choice in the image montage. As you an see, it's not properly sized, causing a distortion. Its also the first image, therefore showing it in the preview, which could mislead others that all stations are designed like that. I wanted to change it myself but was led here due to the text. A different station would a huge improvement.

@ZKang123: Please crop or substitute a photo if necessary. Also in my view, there's nothing wrong with Toa Payoh as it's indeed true a lot of stations on the North South Line and East West Line were really minimal in appearance, representing nearly 50 or so stations on the network. If you have a better photo, do propose one. Seloloving (talk) 10:00, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will put up a subsitute soon, likely an image of an NEL station. Give me some time.--ZKang123 (talk) 01:03, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit[edit]

Chipmunkdavis, what's wrong with my edits, specifically even dropping the word whitewashing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by C751CT251 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's an obvious slant, including unexplained multiple removals of issues regarding maintenance. CMD (talk) 16:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Migration of succession templates to Adjacent stations[edit]

Just to inform you all, I've been converting the route succession templates in the MRT and LRT articles to Adjacent stations. The module pages for the templates are as follows:

Module:Adjacent stations/SMRT for MRT stations
Module:Adjacent stations/Singapore LRT for LRT stations
Module:Adjacent stations/RTS for the Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS

No. Brachy08 (Talk)(Contribs) 06:17, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why station layout info has been removed though? Aerodynamically (talk) 03:57, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
