Manual of Style This page falls within the scope of the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, a collaborative effort focused on enhancing clarity, consistency, and cohesiveness across the Manual of Style (MoS) guidelines by addressing inconsistencies, refining language, and integrating guidance effectively.

Short description for Marshfield station

There is a discussion on the appropriate short description for Marshfield station at Talk:Marshfield station which would affect several articles on the mass transit system of Chicago and other pages. The discussion concerns the purpose of short descriptions and whether local consensus or precedence overrides broader agreements on the purpose and style recommended for short descriptions in the encyclopedia. Members of this project and any other interested parties are invited to consider the implications and provide input. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:53, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Use

I nominated {{Use}} (a redirect to {{American English}}) at RfD earlier today, one suggestion in the discussion was to convert it into a wrapper for the various use xx template ({{Use mdy dates}}, {{Use British English}}, etc) to be used in the form e.g. {{use|mdy dates}}. I figure editors here are the most likely to have opinions on whether this would be useful/desirable/possible/etc. Please leave any comments at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 July 20#Template:Use to keep discussion in one place.
