Basic guidelines for editing

This list took a good deal of effort by many people to reach its current form. If you would like to make changes to this article, please follow the guidelines below. Thanks for your help.

Verify the information is correct. If a bridge is added to the end of the list because it has a short main span you must be resonably certain that there are no missing bridges between the previous last entry and the new entry. This typically means that you have a source that lists and ranks all suspension bridges in the world. If the length of the bridge's main span puts it in the middle of the list, this is not a concern.
Any bridge added to the main section MUST be completed and opened for vehicular or train traffic. Bridges that are proposed or under construction can be listed in the end section. Feel free to start a new section of bridges that have been destroyed or otherwise no longer in use.
The locations of bridges should only be wikilinked the first time they appear on this list. This shows that the bridge is the largest in the linked location.
Pictures should be tagged according to Wikipedia's image use policy. If there is no such picture available, you can create a link to an external picture.
Any bridge added must have a citation. The best citation is the bridge's own homepage. If there is no such site in English, the next best citation would be a source listed in the reference section. If you add a new citation source other than a bridge's homepage, please add it to the reference section

typo[edit]

There seems to be a typo or a need for clarification, because the years do not match: Wheeling Suspension Bridge 1849–1866 and Queenston-Lewiston Bridge 1851–1866

Cut-off again[edit]

Once again the list too long to be maintained (100+ items). It is a time to cut-off again to 700 m or even 750 m to make it updateable. I will try to import existing data to Wikidata to avoid their loss during cut-off.--Jklamo (talk) 15:59, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cutt-off done, data imported.--Jklamo (talk) 22:57, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Planned and proposed[edit]

Planned and proposed section seems to be just a bunch of crystal ball stuff. I think this section could be deleted. --Jklamo (talk) 23:05, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. --Jklamo (talk) 23:56, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
