Naming

Migrated to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (stations).

Structure

The lead paragraph shall include the name of the station as it appears on the system map, and not a short-hand name, but those can and should be mentioned later. It shall also mention the system, the city or area, and the line the station lies on, and, if notable, the location on that line.

The next information should be the area served by the station, and major establishments and attractions near it. A list of lesser but still notable places should be supplied later. The date service began should probably be here. Notable historic events specific to that rail station should go in the next paragraph.

A table should exist, displaying the line(s) and the next and previous stations on that line, with a link to the appropriate line. The stations should move west-to-east, north-to-south, and clockwise. The table is still being crafted in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Station.

Template

'''[[station]]''' is a [[line]] station in [[city/area]] on the [[line(s)]].  (Notable information here, like if it's a terminus or changeover station)

It is located at (address/intersection).  (Other notable locations here, like proximity to a university or sports venue).  Service began [[date]].

==Notable Places Nearby==
*List of places that people going to this station may be interested in knowing about

The table should go below the rest, since this kind of information is more appropriately rendered horizontally on the bottom, rather than vertically on the side.

Table not finalized yet.
