Why Navboxes Removed?

[edit]

What were the navigation boxes removed from this article? They seemed very relevant to this topic and seemed to be in the right places at the end of the article as per: Wikipedia:Navigation templates. Is there some way they should be done differently?

The Navboxes don't navigate here. Metro Transit is the relevant linked article. Secondarywaltz (talk) 23:02, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated edits that got this article semi-protected

[edit]

After seeing a mention at AN/I, I took a look at the changes that have been edit-warred in and that are currently still in place after semi-protection (See WP:WRONGVERSION). A subheader, "Current service" or something like that, has been made into regular text. A huuuuuge table of bus routes has been inserted in that subsection, above the list of ships. I don't think that's relevant in the article on the ferry service, and I think I'm going to remove it and reinstate the presumably erroneously destroyed heading. On the other hand, the list of ships seems only to have been tweaked, so I think I'll leave that alone. But ... the list of ships duplicates in its notes information on their names that also appears in non-tabular form. The non-tabular version looks better to me, including not having URL-style links at the bottom to the relevant Wikipedia articles, and instead using wikilinks on the names concerned. I think the notes, or most of them, ought to be removed. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:40, 2 January 2020 (UTC) ... Hmm. It looks as though the huge table of bus routes and the heading mess-up have been removed already, leaving only the clumsy duplication in the notes about the ship names. Do others agree these are superfluous? Yngvadottir (talk) 18:47, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Yngvadottir: I recently opened a similar discussion on the talk page for Halifax Transit. This IP-hopping user has been adding strange hoax-like information to the Halifax Transit page for at least the past year, and seems to have come here after that page was protected. Regarding the ferry info – I agree that the notes should be trimmed and the information incorporated into the article body, as in older revisions. Ben MacLeod (talk) 00:59, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
