Hi.

Thanks for highlighting this.

I believe it would be best to just leave your observations there for now. I will help keep a lookout on this user if he reverts once again.

RE: Loss of Bus Advertisement Information

Hi,

Regarding your point:

#1: Lost of bus advertisement tracking

The bus advertisement tracking are now consoldilated into Advertisements on Buses. This is because there are 2 distinct group of editors. 1 is just focus on bus advertisement, and 2 is focus on bus deployment. However, majority of the editors belong to group 1, which defeat the original intention of sgWiki Buses - Updates of deployment.

You will notice that bus swap/deployment change/duty change are commonly edited in the past, and with the recent enthusiant, it was focus mainly on advertisement etc.

#2 Large table cell spanning across multiple row

I will take note of it and implement something to improve it, in term of user point of view. Thank you for your feedback.

#3 Deployment by Service & Deployment by Model

I notice that most editor just edit deployment by model and not deployment by service. Even though information should by synchronised, but editors dont edit it and it look independent. Editors are still able to edit it into the new Deployment by Services (i.e. the new Services page still holds those information).

#4 Information on the Changes

The new change was originally to decouple Deployment by Service with Deployment by Model, as editors didn't edit the deployment by Service. However, it was taken into consideration of legacy and we still proceed not to decouple both, while adding more information for general public.

The new Deployment by Service also help to bridge and link the MRT/LRT section with the Bus section, which in the past is stand as two seperate information page as more enthusiastic now become multi-model.

The original intention is to completely remove Advertisements on buses, but for legacy sake, and the request, we had decided to consodilate it into a single page which make it easier to filter, track the respective advertisment, like an excel/Google Sheet table.

An working proposal to streamline Bus history had been brought up and was proposed, with a working draft. But nothing had been set in stone on it moving forward.

The new change will also affect the MRT/LRT section. This include deployment schedule/TRN for the respective line, but nothing had been set in stone due to a lack of information.

In conclusion on the list of changes:

1. Decouple Bus Deployment with Bus Advertisement as majority of editors only edit Advertidement.
2. Merging of Bus History and Bus Deployment by Service
   1. Include first/last bus, duty information, frequency and route stop for general public.
   2. Link it with rail section
3. Consodilation and reorganised of Bus History Page.

To put it simply, the new organisation will attempt to make it more informative for the general public. I.e. which public will focus on advertisment on bus? Duty and bus model may be a more possible scenario - I.e at this timing (duty), I will need to take this bus to work/school (model).

So I hope that it explains the reasons for changes - to fit the purpose of wiki.

I hoped I had cover everything regarding your queries.

Thank you.

Hi,

Refer to this [1].

I am trying to be neutral here. In fact, I did point it out which obviously the user didnt heed and choose to do so.
