Inclusion of other routes' termini

[edit]

It seems to be standard practice, especially within South Carolina highway articles, for a junction list to mention if another route terminates on the route which is the subject of the article. This is done reciprocally by the articles. I am thus restoring from a recent edit. --Chaswmsday (talk) 08:46, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is not standard practice, it is the difference of one editor to the next is all. There are one or two that include that extra detail, while I do not because it's not a factor with the article in question termini (I do note which direction it goes from the highway as standard). I have been making my rounds through the South Carolina highway pages to remove this excess information, but it takes time. --WashuOtaku (talk) 03:01, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interchange details in Notes column

[edit]

Per MOS:RJL, the Notes column consists of "Any additional notes about the interchange or terminus, such as the design of an interchange, special circumstances such as missing ramps, concurrency termini, opening date, or additional locations that do not merit inclusion in 'Destinations' ". --Chaswmsday (talk) 09:00, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, fine... but please make sure it makes sense, it's hard to explain those things at times; please keep it with US 501, the other highway can be explained on it's page how it goes about the dance. --WashuOtaku (talk) 03:03, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
IMO, per the MOS, it's just as important to show how to get TO a route as it is to move FROM it. --Chaswmsday (talk) 14:09, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But if I'm traveling on US 501 and I read that, I might believe my exit was on the left lane, which they are not; the statement holds true on SC 31, just not here. It's a unique interchange, no question; but the article is focused specifically on US 501. --WashuOtaku (talk) 23:35, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
