page the template appears on. Again, if you can find evidence that there are concrete steps to move these plans forward at the moment, that's different, but I don't know how much interest there ought to be in unfunded studies just because they happen to be on the agency's website. What about a link on the template to "proposed projects" or something like that that goes to an anchor on the MTA Maryland article? --

There are links to these projects from the MTA Maryland article, and there should be from pages of the geographic areas where they might run, if they ever happen. I guess I just feel like they're so very theoretical at this point that there isn't much point in having them duplicated over every single

Some of the stops may be mentioned in other articles rather than having their own. For example, I have written about the
Lexington Market stop in the article about the Metro station of the same name. I may describe the Penn Station stop in the article about Penn Station. The Hunt Valley stop may be a

Some of the linked articles may be to outdated pages that do not reflect the current bus routes with those numbers, though -- I want to check all those before actually making this template live. Hopefully the unlinked routes

I would suggest that the "proposed" section of this be pruned and reorganized. It lumps together projects that have lost state funding and will probably never move forward (all the
Baltimore-area projects), projects in limbo due to lack of funding (the Corridor Cities Transitway), and projects that

I agree the old template needed to be "pruned", but I would like to know how readers are going to be able to navigate to MTA projects such as the
Corridor Cities Transitway and the Southern Maryland Rapid Transit study. Just because it doesn't have funding at the moment doesn't mean it should be

Knowledge (XXG) guidelines permit and in some cases encourage the use of red links where there is a strong possibility the articles in question will be created one day. In this case, I have plans to create them in a matter of weeks from now. Until then, leaving them there may encourage others to

Ok, I've updated the bus template so that none of the links go to articles that are completely incorrect, though many of them do need a post-BaltimoreLink freshening up. I'm now going to start putting the service templates on individual station/bus line articles in place of the top-level MTA

I am planning to write individual articles about at least some of the light rail stops. The creation of this template is in preparation for that. However, I am not going to instantly produce an article on each. Rather, I am going to examine each one, determine in what ways notability can be

Montgomery BRT can be removed from the template, as they aren't under active consideration and won't even get to the planning stages anytime soon.
567:
For buses, I would also create templates for the individual bus service categories (probably four templates, corresponding four-way breakdown as it currently stands), each template containing the list of bus routes. Those templates would go on the pages of the corresponding bus
413:
I have to ask, what is the point of bloating this template with links to all the light rail stops if almost all of them simply redirect to the main Light Rail article? I can see having the links if they all really had their own pages, but as it is it's sort of silly.
1678:
The situation w/the buses is honestly kind of a mess because it appears that the articles and the templates were only sort of half-updated when the
BaltimoreLink rolled out last year and changed a lot of the bus line numbers. I've at least update the template so that
