Replacing a route marker (Great Britain A525)

[edit]

The A525 (in GB) lost its section of primary route in 2010.[1] I've created a non-primary symbol for it, [2] ("secondary" in the file name is a misnomer,[3] but other UK road symbols already had similar names). What would I need to do for this to be used in the various templates in place of the current symbol? Aoeuidhtns (talk) 23:26, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnotes on state-specific US highway articles

[edit]

Do we need the {{About|the segment of U.S. Highway 00 in State}} in state-specific articles, such as U.S. Route 14 in Wisconsin for example? The title of those articles are not ambiguous, and the parent articles are linked in the lead. @Imzadi1979 style="color #964b00 Cyber the tiger🐯 (talk) 04:55, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CyberTheTiger: I think this is the wrong project to discuss this (probably should be at WT:USRD), but either way, those are standard across the collection of those articles to provide a specific link back to the parent national-detail article. Otherwise, too often people were trying to link the first mention of the name to the parent. Per the MOS, we're not supposed to link anything in the bold statement of the name of the article in the lead. It's not about ambiguity, it's about providing a link back to the parent article. Also, the template in use is {{highway detail hatnote}}, not {{about}}. Imzadi 1979  06:25, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
