Thank you

Thank you @Trigenibinion for this wish. To better clarify, is the problem that it is cumbersome to re-enter data from one wiki page, and into the same place on another, and that you seek a solution to enter information once, and then call that "source of truth" to populate the data elsewhere?

There are several problems:

- Some provider lists are very long, the information risks getting removed from the infoboxes and not be replicated elsewhere in the page.

- Maintaining this information as infobox parameters is very cumbersome, especially if sources are also requested.

- The information should be entered only once so that it can be moved to the body of the article when it becomes too much for the infobox, it provides a choice for other wikipedias to also provide this information as they see fit, and there are different articles that can use the same data (station articles and provider articles).

- It is very time consuming to enter this data manually, so automating its entry from the many PDFs available would be welcome.Trigenibinion (talk) 16:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I've added some of this to the wish itself. JWheeler-WMF (talk) 16:34, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
