Talk:HS2 rolling stock

Dates

Hello all, is there any reason why the dates and access-dates are in Year-month-day format, rather than DMY? I only ask because every other HS2 article (well, most, Washwood Heath depot being another YMD format) are all in DMY. I was going to format some of the cites which have bare urls, and my automatic templates default to dmy. Just asking. Regards and thanks. The joy of all things (talk) 21:03, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Fixed. See the two templates I added at the very start of the article. One tells templates, where appropriate, to use British spelling; the other tells the page to format dates as DMY. It's good practice to put them on any UK article. Shout if you have a question. 10mmsocket (talk) 22:25, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

10mmsocket Thanks, I am aware of the Engvarb and DMY templates, it's just MOS:DATEVAR states to discuss it before changing, so I raised it here. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 07:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Good point. however, I think that discussion only applies to international articles, e.g. where it is about a topic that is not obviously associated with any particular country. HS2 rolling stock is very clearly a British-related topic, whereas something like biscuit or dandelion isn't. It's those latter examples where discussion would be needed. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:56, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Removal of Content

Hey everybody, sorry for not giving my reason for removing content before.

I removed the link to the HS2 PDF as it was being used 2 different cites at the same time when it should have just been one cite using cite name. Maurice Oly (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
