 | This guideline documents an English Wikipedia naming convention. Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply. Substantive edits to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on this guideline's talk page. |
This is a standard naming convention for transit stations – including intercity rail, commuter rail, rapid transit, light rail, and bus rapid transit – in the United States. The guideline is related to naming conventions for stations in Canada (WP:CANSTATION), Ireland (WP:IRLSTATION), Poland (WP:PLSTATION), and the United Kingdom (WP:UKSTATION).
The guidelines eliminate some features of the previous unwritten conventions: they eliminate preemptive parenthetical disambiguation and encourage the inclusion of the term "station" when it is part of the common name.
