Regarding 1) I would offer a different opinion. As a ex-pat in Taiwan, the most useful spelling is the sign that is currently on the boards, in the pamphlets, and on the trains. Additionally, TYPY may be contriversial outside of Taiwan, but within Taiwan, where the contents of this article are
592:
I'm working on revamping TRA-related articles, and was wondering if anyone had some insight into the
English names for lines. The ones I'm looking at are 海岸線 (I've seen it as Sea Line, Coast Line, etc.) and 臺東線 (which I've seen as Hua-tung Line, Hualien-Taitung Line, Taitung Line, etc.). Any
821:. This article has extensive history of the railway pre-1948. It mentions upgrades to the railway by the Railway Bureau. Less than 40% of the article is directly related to the agency. The focus is the railway itself, which is referred to as "Taiwan Railways" by other rail operators.
551:
Tongyong Pinyin is highly controversial and spellings are subject to change with the political winds. TYPY is non-standard and unrecognized outside of Taiwan. I would suggest adding the time-honored Wage-Giles place-names, as most publications outside of DPP control use them.
945:
True, but you will never see the network referred to as the long form. In fact referring to the network as "TRA" is only seen on signs. The announcements say "TRA train". Both Taipei and
Kaohsiung MRT refer to it as "Taiwan Railways".

Well it was already brought up on the edit war noticeboard and the admin didn't block either of us. Neither of us are edit warring as the page is protected, so I don't see what you're getting at.

Is that a requirement for using the tag? I've already stated the dispute is about the romanisation scheme. You are welcome to find reliable sources to prove they are correct and remove the tag.

written, it is *the* standard. That would be like saying that not many people outside of France use French, so we should use the
English spelling for their city and place names.
608:
I'm not sure if it's already been agreed on, but the
English wording used by the TRA itself for the 海岸線 is "Coast Line". That's how it was when I was in Taiwan a few months ago.
937:
By that logic, if "Taiwan
Railways Administration" is a name suitable only for the agency and not the railway, the railway should be covered in another page instead of here?
