Template talk:UK motorways

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding the A1(M) redirect... I decided to leave it as A1(M) motorway deliberately a page for the motorway(s) themselves may yet be made... the A3(M) motorway and A38(M) motorway were similar occurences. Erath 17:26, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] M96 "motorway"?

The M96 motorway should not be on this list; it's not a real motorway, it's not even open to the public - this isn't what this box is aiming to provide. Let's leave "motorways" like that to Pathetic Motorways and keep the real ones here?

Not going to blindly revert, what does everyone else think? Erath 17:10, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Agreed - bin it. It's not even in the right zone :) Owain 17:37, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I've being playing with the template partly because a fruitless attempt to find the A8(M) in Scotland indicated a need for an NI indication, and partly to get the M-way and A(M) bits with the same fmt. Would a left alignment be better than centred? jimfbleak 15:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Looks fine, just need to restore the bottom GB roads link to the darker shade I think. Erath 17:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bolding

The bolding of the various articles in the list is not related to the degree of importance (no-one in their right mind would consider the M9 a more important motorway than the M62) but rather to delineate the various motorway "zones" by which the list is arranged.

[edit] By region?

Is it worthwhile/possible to group the motorways by region? Otherwise the template seems a bit abstract... maybe that's the point? Sardanaphalus (talk) 23:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

...or is that already what's happening zone-wise in the subgroups? (Sorry for any ignorance.) Sardanaphalus (talk) 23:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
