Wow -- what a fantastic labor of love. Great page. --Maxn 4 July 2005 00:51 (UTC)

Template issue?[edit]

Something's obviously gone wrong with this page; I'm guessing the {mb} template was redefined? I don't know enough about templates yet to fix it myself. --ScottAlanHill 21:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I figured it out and fixed it; the page used Template:mb, but that was redirected to be an alias for {Mfd bottom}. I first created Template:MBTABus to replace it, and changed all the {mb}s to {MBTABus}s on this site, but then I noticed that {mb} was actually in widespread use on MBTA pages, while the redefinition was just done today. So I reverted {mb} back to its original definition. But maybe {MBTABus} is a better name for the template than {mb}, and we should change it in the affected pages, but I'm not going to make that decision as I'm not a major contributor to the MBTA pages. :) Anyway, both templates are set up to work now. --ScottAlanHill 21:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

{{mb}} to {{MBTABus}}[edit]

I have changed the {{mb}} template to a new {{MBTABus}} template (which is identical to the old {{mb}} template) so that {{mb}} can be used for {{Mfd bottom}}, in the same way that {{Ab}} can be used for {{Afd bottom}} —Mets501 (talk) 22:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of area companies[edit]

User:SPUI/New England streetcar companies may be of interest. -- Beland 14:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old version[edit]

An older version of this article has for some reason been archived at Boston-area streetcar lines/old. -- Beland 03:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just tagged that version for merging into this one. I'm not sure why User:SPUI split this version off, and I can't really ask him, because he no longer participates on Wikipedia. ----DanTD (talk) 11:55, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
