New Line 3 Logo and Colour

It would be great to add a source for the new Line 3 logo and colour, as well as having a short section for the line's branding.

Let me summon Nfitz and Joeyconnick because I would like to know what both of you think. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 16:47, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• The source information was in the ongoing discussion elsewhere - see Template talk:Rail-interchange#Template-protected edit request on 11 November 2023. I didn't add any text to the page - but if someone adds some text, they should include that as a reference. Nfitz (talk) 17:16, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • That source doesn't feel definitive to me, it could just be a placeholder. The TTC has been using a blue "3" in their planning documents for instance (page 13). I'm strongly in favour of not using a route icon for this line until there is more clarity. BLAIXX 00:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that the source mentioned in Template talk:Rail-interchange#Template-protected edit request on 11 November 2023 is using it as a placeholder at best. I recommend waiting until Metrolinx unveils it to the non-technical public, such as on X (formerly known as Twitter) and Metrolinx's website (not hidden inside a PDF). Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 15:21, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree because it's really hard to find that icon as it hides inside a very large document (althrough shown many times but it's too small compared to the pages' scale). After all, this document is still under discussion so it may be inappropriate to use such controversial document as a source.--—and in that light, Fz20181223 find deliverance.— 23:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the source does not look definitive, and it's best to stick with just using "Line 3" until closer to the time / confirmation that the line will be colour x, y or z on a transit map. (Also, it seems unlikely to me that Metrolinx would actually choose a colour very similar to the Sheppard colour... but transit agencies have done silly branding things before, and they'll do it again!) Turini2 (talk) 21:04, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be included as it has been in multiple future TTC network maps as it was in the now deprecated ref 20.

I cannot find the same map in a quick glance, but here it is on another site cited from the TTC (which I believe satisfies @Joeyconnick's requirement that it be known by the public: https://dailyhive.com/toronto/toronto-subway-maps-2023-2031 Millsy0303 (talk) 18:54, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah no... that one is in the original Line 3 blue. The only reference to the 3 roundel in purple is buried deep as a placeholder in technical documents. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:55, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's fair to say that the Ontario Line has been provisionally referred to as Line 3 however it's inappropriate to use any icon at this time. BLAIXX 21:28, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did you look at what I linked? Millsy0303 (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many of us did. Even then, we should not use the icon. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The new number and icon should still not be added yet. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:08, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Station articles

Is it too early to create station articles or can I have a crack at them? TokyoBackstreet (talk) 19:51, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Too early I think. There's not much more you could say that's not already in this article. Opening day is at least 6 years away... ! Turini2 (talk) 21:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is something that all Wikipedians should read: WP:DEADLINE. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:34, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remember that there is no deadline. Articles can be created later if needed, even if it's a few years later. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Line 5 had station articles for a long time at this point. (Of course that project is way over schedule but still.) TokyoBackstreet (talk) 19:37, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is better to wait for more details. Now is definitely too early. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:13, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Construction concerns or in station paragraphs?

I added the paragraph about the damage to homes in the Construction concerns section. I see there are similar things attached to the station paragraphs - about the trees at Osgoode and Moss Park. I'm not sure, but I think those are better located in Construction concerns section. What do y'all think? Alaney2k (talk) 13:35, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. However, I would personally wait for more replies to form a consensus first. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 16:37, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should all be in one place tbh. Turini2 (talk) 10:00, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That would be better. However, I would still personally wait for more replies to form a consensus first. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:15, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photo in infobox

Hey - many major construction projects have a photo in the infobox to illustrate the ongoing project - any thoughts on which one we should use? Turini2 (talk) 09:28, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Construction at Exhibition station, April 2025

Out of the ones currently in the article, this one seems the best. BLAIXX 00:00, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. If there are better photos, we will use those instead. For now, this photo would be the best in my opinion. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:35, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done: Turini2 added the photo to the infobox. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 15:57, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
