Station spellings

Some Greek transliterations do not reflect the names we use under WP:COMMONNAME: for example, we use Acharnes instead of Aharnai. I am also concerned about the removal of templates that we use to link to stations within the article and template spaces, such as {{metro}}, {{rws}} and {{stn}}, and also those we use to convert units and for references, such as {{convert}} and {{reflist}} (which is widely used on this wiki). Finally, I am concerned, based on this edit, your claim that the Souflias plan proposed to extend Line 2 to Acharnes, which is untrue as the extension to said station was proposed long after he left office. His proposal only went as far as Zefyri. --Minoa (talk) 04:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

The spellings of the stations are the same as the ones shown in the 2022 October plan so stop spreading misnfo. I will undo your edit. Although I will keep what you did in Grigorios Lambrakis station LaparohMesa (talk) 12:38, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Accusing me of misinformation over how we transliterate Greek names is probably the most silliest thing I have heard, and is bordering on being uncivil: Elliniko Metro is not always right with their transliterations of station names, especially when there is a widely-used English name (for example, we use Athens instead of Athina, and Corinth instead of Korinthos). --Minoa (talk) 19:17, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

@Minoa Yes, thar might be true for Athens and Cornith, but Aharnai is Αχαρναί so that's not the case for the station name LaparohMesa (talk) 19:21, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

I understand that Αχαρναί comes from the Katharevousa form, which is not in general use nowadays. I can attribute the alternative spelling to Elliniko Metro with an inline source in the table, but the default should remain "Acharnes" per the article about the town, and also we transliterate "χ" to "ch" and not "h", according to ISO 843. --Minoa (talk) 21:38, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

@LaparohMesa, can we keep things civil, these edits have been built up over a number of years and the editors have found consensus in the translation of these pages. Mistakes can/are made, but going against other editors, removing templates and threating language is not helpful. ✠ Emperor of Byzantium ✠ (talk) 23:38, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

@The Emperor of Byzantium sorry LaparohMesa (talk) 13:46, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Merging of municipalities in the tables

I had to undo the merging of municipalities in the station tables, because some stations are on the boundaries of two municipalities, such as Cholargos. In addition, long merged rows can cause readability problems. Your understanding is appreciated. --Minoa (talk) 04:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Line A3 (Athens Suburban Railway) did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button.
