Terminology is problematic

We've had category names before, but apart from interfering with page layout, the terminology is problematic; some people prefer 'rapid transit' to 'metro' for some reason, 'LRT' is a similarly problematic term, and the division of the main-line railways into commuter/intercity isn't all that clear-cut either (several VIA routes are highly commuter-oriented, and some people use GO for non-commuting-related travel).

Template:CanadianmetrosTemplate:Canadian rail systems – Template is currently misnamed, as it covers far more than just Canada's three "metro" ( rapid transit) systems, instead covering all of Canada's currently operating rail lines and networks. IJBall ( talk) 20:07, 16 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment are you going to add cargo rail systems? -- 65.94.43.89 ( talk) 18:54, 17 April 2015 (UTC) reply
I wasn't planning to on my end, no. So perhaps another name is in order? – Something like {{ Canadian rail transit systems}}, or perhaps {{ Canadian passenger rail systems}}?... I must admit that my original suggestion for a destination for this template was a bit of a shot in the dark, so if anyone can suggest a better name, I'd be all for it! -- IJBall ( talk) 19:36, 17 April 2015 (UTC) reply
