Recategorization

I noticed you were categorizing some files in my watchlist. It's probably not necessary to recategorize the coloured BSicons yet, since there are still a lot of categories to create (e.g. /parallel lines subcats) for them to be categorized correctly. (If you feel like creating the categories, you should probably get AWB access first.) Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

If you want to request moves, do it to SHI2 instead of using the shorthand roots. Jc86035 (talk) 04:46, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Icon renaming

Hi Rowan, I'm a bit unclear on how the new names harmonize the set: BSicon uexTBHFr.svg to BSicon uexTBHFeq.svg and from BSicon uexTBHFl.svg to BSicon uexTBHFaq.svg. This other set is using r and l as the differentiator: Icons for railway descriptions/set u/crossing/HST. Can you explain why you want to switch from r to eq and l to aq? Thanks. // siqbal { talk } 01:50, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

@Sikander: There's been a long, slow process to gradually replace some ambiguous and contradictory uses of the l and r suffixes (e.g.  (KBHFaq) was moved from BSicon KBHFl.svg in September 2017,  (STRfq) was moved from BSicon STRl.svg in August 2016, and  (CONTfq) was moved from BSicon CONTl.svg in November 2013). There is scattered discussion of these moves at Talk:BSicon/Renaming and its archives. Jc86035 (talk) 18:01, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

@Jc86035: Thanks for the explanation. You two know about this much more than I do and I'll leave it to other renamers to handle the rename requests. Regards. // sikander { talk } 18:07, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Rowan, for the icons which have both the two lines and the station closed, then there should be an additional x at the end of the name (e.g.  (uexTBHFaq) should probably be uexTBHFaxq but I'm not entirely sure about this since there isn't any precedent for x after a/e; xa/xe would be taken per  (TBHFxaq)). See  (mTBHFt) vs.  (xmTBHFt) vs.  (exmTBHFt) vs.  (exmTBHFxt). Jc86035 (talk) 18:01, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
