Formatting[edit]

I've changed this template as Version 1120185448. Previous versions have some problems:

  1. Coloring. The template used not the official color -- actually some of colors are from my previous edit (11 years ago). I just put it from some colorset, however, it was a mistake. Actually I don't think there is an official colorset in KTX, even official timetables and service pages have conflictions of coloring.
  2. Too much text.
    • Due to the expansion of the network, listing all stations and services cannot be good in terms of user experience and design. I don't think all stations to be needed in the template -- links to services and station listing in each page in the services will be enough. Also most of the services are sharing serving stations.
    • Also long comments for uncommon services are unneeded. A proper amount of information should be provided for good recognition in the template. Details can be written in service pages or station pages, so I don't think long text is good for the template.
  3. Wrong information. Some corrections are here:
    • The term Higher-speed lines is incorrect to describe 준고속철도노선 -- literally semi-high-speed railway lines. These lines can be recognized high-speed rails by international standards. Also, a literal translation of the term higher-speed rail can be 고속화철도, however, this term is usually used to describe Gyeongchun line supporting 180 km/h operation or, several railway modernisation in 1990s of South Korea.
    • Gangneung line is a name of the service connecting Seoul/Haengsin and Gangneung/Donghae. The line name for infrastructure, however, is still Gyeonggang line.
    • Also, Yeongdong line is not upgraded lines. A single-track line with lower maximum speed (up to 100 km/h). The reason that this section is not upgraded is because there is a long-term plan for upgrading this section with Donghae line project, and it is already electrified in early 2000s.

Also I even think that current version is not enough to be scaled, and more squeezed version will be required for visibility. Instead supplemental descriptions will be required in service pages. -- Chugun (talk) 17:30, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
