[edit] Wisconsin

[edit] Convention 1: <Wisconsin> Highway XXX

This is the unabbreviated form of what is found on some road signs in the state. It is also the most popular use in the state and is the basis on the current convention based on Principle 2 (Highway XXX (Wisconsin))

Support: Close to the popular form that we'll get to under the circumstances --master_son^{Lets talk}
Support: Probably the best of the three options, and requires the least work and is closest to the current standard. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Support – What I would say/use when referring to them, since they're north of where I live — Homefryes ^Say•_Do 07:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Support - the best of all available options. Sounds the closest to what is used in common conversation here. Lifelong resident of Wisconsin, and a member of WikiProject Wisconsin Highways. Royalbroil 04:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Support: much of my life I've lived just across the river and have driven many Wisconsin Highways. This is common use in my experience. Jonathunder 05:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Support per nom. --TMF ^{T - C} 03:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Endorse - Seems uncontroversial. --CBD 11:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Convention 2: <Wisconsin> State Highway XXX

This is a disambiguated form of "State Highway x" for Wisconsin. It seems to be rarely used though

[edit] Convention 3: <Wisconsin> State Trunk Highway XXX

"State Trunk Highway is the format that WISDOT uses in official documentation, many websites such as Chris Bessert's Wisconsin Highways use this format. This convention, however, is not very often used on road signs, writings or common dialogue.

In line with WP:NC, this is the best option, since it is the legally correct name. Most common vernacular usage should be handled via redirects in this case. Tom e r ^talk 05:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
