Category:Lisbon Metro stations

I believe that the current names of the subcategories of metro stations are not great, to conform better with other categories, I suggest renaming these as such, for example:

Alameda (Lisbon Metro)

or in Portuguese:

Alameda (Metropolitano de Lisboa)

You might have a point. And they should be in English, so Alameda (Lisbon Metro) would be best. But:

It looks like there is variation of category names for metro stations world wide, even without the name of the city (for example Amsterdam and Athens), see subcategories of Category:Rapid transit stations by city. Should they all get the same category name structure?
I can live with Metro station Alameda (Lisboa) and the others, and it is a lot of work to change all 51 subcategories, would it be worth it?

Comment basically I agree, I only ask for consistency. Let's find a common naming scheme. -- Blackcat 23:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS that apart, the correct name was "Stations of Lisbon metro" but Tm as usual moved it uncorrectly and without consent
PPSS Anyway, what ever is the scheme, that disambiguation "Lisboa" must go. In English the exonim is "Lisbon" and must be used that.

I agree; it’s worth the work. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 17:08, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tuválkin: What do you mean: just the subcategories of this category or all subcategories and grandchildren of Category:Rapid transit stations by city as well? JopkeB (talk) 04:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure, but I’m certain that there is no reason to have the stations of the Lisbon Subway with their cats in Commons named in an unique way: They should follow the generic name system for other subway systems, whichever that may be. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 22:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again ping to Tuválkin, because of wrong spelling. --JopkeB (talk) 04:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What’s spelled wrong? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 22:26, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your official username is "Tuvalkin", and I pinged to "Tuválkin", which was not recognized. JopkeB (talk) 03:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Juwan (talk) 13:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JnpoJuwan: What exactly is the conclusion of this discussion and what did you do/change/implement ("Done")? JopkeB (talk) 16:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that I did not specify. as there has not been any oppositions for 3 months, I have completed my proposal and updated the all station categories. Juwan (talk) 21:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
