Wikidata:WikiProject Railways

The railways talk force works on railway lines and stations in the broadest sense of the word.

Goals

• Identify all railway stations with instance of (P31) railway station (Q55488) or a subclass (figure out how to do this exactly)
• Add coordinate location (P625) and country (P17) to each station
• Add adjacent station (P197) to each station so that we create a web that will links Aberdeen railway station (Q2665551) with Beijing Railway Station (Q285141) and Woodlands Train Checkpoint (Q6132101)
• Use adjacent station (P197) together with connecting line (P81) to create informational overviews for station pages

Questions

• How to handle qualifiers on adjacent station (P197)?
• How to deal with former stations and adjacent station (P197)?
