Two infoboxes[edit]

Two infoboxes is entirely ridiculous, quit with the little war, what is the benefit of two infoboxes? Everyone wants to use infoboxes, why not just expand the article? Oh wait, no one but me cares to do that to Registered Historic Places in Illinois. IvoShandor 19:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could always query the stations project to add an optional NRHP date parameter to the infobox, instead of adding two clunky infoboxes, that have no aesthetic appeal, and, imo, make the page look really bad and really add no information. The only real use for infoboxes is introduce uniformity to a set of related articles, something adding two infoboxes directly contradicts. IvoShandor 19:45, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted at the Trains and the Stations projects asking if we can include an NRHP date, architect, and architectural style(s) parameter. IvoShandor 13:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting to split the article[edit]

I decided to place a split template at the top of the article's page. This article serves two purposes now. One is the original Dwight station that was built by the Chicago and Alton Railroad and the other is for the Dwight station built in 2016. The original Dwight station serves a historical purpose being on U.S. National Register of Historic Places whereas the current Dwight station serves Amtrak passengers. The splitting would give both articles two separate infoboxes instead of two infoboxes serving one article with one showing current Amtrak service and another for being on the historical register. Finally, both stations have separate geographical coordinates now. Splitting the article would assist Wikipedia editors in the future by giving two separate coordinates and help identify which station is which. FunksBrother (talk) 19:03, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This idea was so good that I have gone ahead and begun the split. Cheers! Bigturtle (talk) 16:00, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
