::::: Pardon, if I understand right you say all have a problem with seeing the BSicons in "direction-of-travel" therefore we have to quarter-turn the icon noone understands? Sorry, but that's unlogical! [[User:Axpde|'''a'''×'''p'''_de]][[User Talk:Axpde|^Hello!]] 13:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

::::::Yes, people intuitively assume that arrowheads on a given end of and horizontal line {{BS-q|CONTr}} '''should''' be labelled the same way as discs {{BS-q|KBHFr}} and tacks {{BS-q|ENDEr}} — that’s what I said above and there’s no need to ask me to repeat it, as I might just do it. Also sorry that you don’t understand what a quarter turn is (just like you don’t understand Commons categorization), but cannot help you more. You are either incredibly stupid or deliberately sabotaging discussion with fake puzzlement, and I don’t want to engage with either of those. (Others please understand that I’m not complaining he doesn’t agree with me, but that he apparently cannot comprehend someone else’s explanation for a different opinion.) As for things that «noone understands», a good example were your mangling of the 45° ABZs, now again unusable without preview check as they may or may no have been afflicted by your addition of a "g" that… «noone understands». -- [[User:Tuvalkin|Tuválkin]] [[User talk:Tuvalkin|✉]] 14:33, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Kudos to Useddenim, who’s taking care of the unstandard water line geometry of this set of icons, used mostly for the footpath projects. I have a qualm about the current naming, though. A '''ford''' is a place where a body of water is crossed by wading, obviously absent from rail lines and most other concievable usages of RTDs, apart from the titular footpaths. However the current naming "'''W'''FORD" seems to me unadvised, as, from definition, a ford is always about '''w'''ater/'''''w'''asser''. If we add a "w" to this out of consistency (akin to, say, {{BS-q|BRÜCKE}} ''v.s'' {{BS-q|WBRÜCKE}} ''et c.''), then we should go all the way and name it for what it is — "W'''KRZ'''", a crossing of water with the RDT line in question. -- [[User:Tuvalkin|Tuválkin]] [[User talk:Tuvalkin|✉]] 20:59, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

: Hmm, why not simply {{bsq|fWSTR}}, same as {{bsq|hWSTR}} or alike. [[User:Axpde|'''a'''×'''p'''_de]][[User Talk:Axpde|^Hello!]] 13:39, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

::Well, you’re right about that. It is a better choice also because it allows things like, say, {{BS-o|WASSERq|vSTRa}}('''WSPLa''') or {{BS-o|WASSER|uKRX}}('''uWKRXq'''). -- [[User:Tuvalkin|Tuválkin]] [[User talk:Tuvalkin|✉]] 14:33, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
