Making references more useful and informative
[edit]This recent edit fixes a number of issues:
- Convert bare references to use {{cite}} template to make them more informative and to avoid {{linkrot}}.
- Add
|archiveurl=
and|archivedate=
to all web references in case the original referenced material ceases to be available. - Remove redundant accessdate information.
<ref name="">{{cite web | url= | title= | last= | first= | work= | publisher= | date= | archiveurl= | archivedate= | deadurl=no }}</ref>
- References that include the article title, author, publication name, publisher and publication date are much more useful to readers than a bare URL. The {{cite}} template provides a simple way to add that extra information.
- Replace web with news for newspaper references.
- Add
|format=PDF
or|format=DOC
after the|url=
parameter where appropriate. - Archiving the referenced web content also preserves a separate copy just in case the original URL stops working.
- Adding archive data to references through the
|archiveurl=
and|archivedate=
parameters is further aided by the fact that the Internet Archive Wayback Machine now supports on-demand archiving of content. - Once the original publication date and/or archivedate have been recorded, the accessdate is irrelevant and should be removed.
Similar work is needed on the majority of rail and tube station pages, but there is just too much of it for one person to tackle in a reasonable timeframe.

Explosion
[edit]In the grand scheme of things I'm not convinced the recent explosion is sufficiently noteworthy in the 85-year history of this building to warrant inclusion in this article. It's not the only newsworthy incident ever to happen in or near Southgate Station. WaggersTALK 14:04, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
