Talk:List of highways numbered 225
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Highway names
We seem to be getting inconsistent here... I think ;-) (forgive some of the formatting here, I'm learning...) We have
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_225
which lists all Route 225's in the country. From that page it lists
Nevada State Route 225
New York State Route 225
North Carolina Highway 225
State Highway 225 (Texas)
Then, we have links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_State_Route_225
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Highway_225_%28Texas%29
Seems inconsistent... Why isn't it Texas_State_Highway_225 or Texas_State_Route_225
We have State_Highway, State_Route ... but the base topic is RT 225 Should that be State RT 225?
Perhaps the URL's aren't important, as long as the disambiguation page is correct? But I think the disambiguation page does give some recommended URL naming conventions?
RT_225 (Texas)
RT_225 (Nevada)
Then of course we have to decide if the higher level disambiguation page is State Route 225 or RT 225 or Route 225 or State Highway 225 ? I don't know who makes those higher level decisions and sees that they are applied consistently, as best anything can in a free authoring environment like this.
Hope this makes some sence...

- This is covered by Wikipedia:Manual of Style (U.S. state highways). The dab page should point to the correct full name of the article and not to a redirect. Vegaswikian 19:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
