I need to properly publish my "apparently private" Sydney Metro Wiki below, which has a lot of good information about the Sydney Metro (North West line only), and I need more than one person to help me edit its pages as I do NOT own the following Wiki!
What's on your mind?

Just Updated
All infoboxes will have a massive overhaul over the coming weeks so expect all pages to be under construction during this period, All labels such as ‘Number preserved’ for example, will merge into ‘number withdrawn’, this is to stop the pages looking cluttered and stuff like that, so do you agree if I should change the infoboxes (I changed the ‘train’ infobox) as part of my overhaul.

Have you ever taken a picture of a train and wanted to share it with fellow railfans in New South Wales. Found a train that is interesting or funny looking. NSW Trains Wiki is proud to announce its newest feature - the Railspotting Board on the Forum!
On this Board, you can post any picture of any train in New South Wales and share it with fellow NSW Trains Wiki Members. You can even post a picture and ask people about the locomotive - in case you don't know what the picture is of. Hopefully this board will get up and running, but remember, any NSW photos are accepted - but other photos are not. — Jsteel7 stop the train! {{{1}}} 02:32, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
I have currently created a bot (at User:Jsteelbot7), and I am hoping to give it a bot flag, so that it doesn't overload RecentChanges. For this, I need community approval, so i ask you all to vote below, stating, in bold, support or oppose. The bot will mainly be used to do tedious tasks, so you can ask me to do them for you. — Jsteel7 stop the train! {{{1}}} 21:45, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

In the case of a tie, the tied logos will have another one week tiebreaker. If it is tied after this, I will be the tiebreaker. — Jsteel7 stop the train! {{{1}}} 06:34, August 24, 2013 (UTC)
UPDATE
The winner is Logo 3
As you may have noticed, I have changed the logo again. This is only a temporary logo. Our old logo had to be removed because it violated copyright laws. So I am putting the new logo out to the community. Submit your logos below. Here are the rules:
- The logo must not contain copyrighted content
- The logo must clearly say "NSW Trains Wiki"
- The logo must be 250x65px.
- All entries must be entered before the 22nd of August, 2013 (2 weeks from today), when they will be judged by the community.

Today I announce the newest thing from the NSW Trains Wiki, a wiki newsletter, delivered fortnightly to your e-mail inbox. I will create a page at NSW Trains Wiki:Newsletter where you can sign up, but here are the ways you can sign up for this newsletter:
- Leave me a message on my message wall
- Reply to this forum post
- Add message to the talk page of NSW Trains Wiki:Newsletter
- Send an email message to nswtrainswikia@gmail.com or nswtrainswiki@outlook.com
UPDATE - The first newsletter has been sent out already. If you want to receive this, please let me know before the 15th of July, which will be the next date for the newsletter.
As the RailCorp Split Looms, I am going to start to rename categories and change them to suit the new companies. Also new are the new logos for articles on Stations, Sydney Trains, and NSW Trains. Check out a random page in those categories to check it out.
Its been a while since I last posted an update about the wiki, so here's whats going on:
- Only 2 month and 24 days until RailCorp splits
- I am proud to announce our newest feature:Trains of the month/year, a feature which will soon be live on the mainpage replacing the train of the week and station of the week segments. The new segment will show the trains that are celebrating anniversaries in a particular month/year.
Just a small update this time, I have changed the wiki's logo to a new logo featuring a graphic of NSW and a V set. Please comment on what you think about the new logo.
Last Day of the year, and I am enjoyin a quiet time at home, editing on the wiki. I have added a new template for platform boxes. On Wikipedia they have a table showing all the services on a single platform. I have made an infobox that caters for this need, located at {{Platforms}}. I was also searching the wiki on Google and found that it is now on the first page of results, meaning that our wiki has improved its Google ranking. Keep up the good work and maybe we can get it to the top of the page (it is currently at the bottom).
I have decided to replace our old clunky 'next station' boxes with some new ones.
