Stanley, County Durham: what info to include in section 'Transport links'?[edit]

Greetings, DragonofBatley.

I propose to start a topic about this on the Stanley talk page so that we can discuss it. OK for you?

Hello DragonofBatley: What do you think of the idea of putting the now-closed railway stations in History? Protalina (talk) 05:13, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with it but I've also included the nearest railway stations to the town. DragonofBatley (talk) 05:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, shall I delete the historical ones from Transport links? I already put them in history, and will later add a citation for the closure date. Protalina (talk) 05:51, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added citation, but don't have a copy of Butt's Directory, so only have page no. for West Stanley (from the article). Do you know page no. for Annfield Plain? Thanks, —Protalina (talk) 11:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Links to disambiguation pages[edit]

Please check your page creations like Stillington railway station to make sure that all your links go to the right pages. I've fixed your two links to the Stillington disambiguation page.

There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page.

If you aren't using that gadget, then just take more care to check every link you add to make sure it's correct. Thanks. PamD 09:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A thought: if Stillington line is worth a red link, perhaps add it to List_of_closed_railway_lines_in_the_United_Kingdom and redirect it there? PamD 09:36, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
