Template talk:NESA

Suggestions

• Move to Cite NESA as per other citation templates
• Add “module” parameter, such as “module LN2”

@Danners430 I personally disagree with using sequence/module notation for the NESA. On Network Rail's site, you can't search by it so you are left scrolling endlessly trying to find it. Page numbers allow it to be easily found, which is important for verifiability. If you want to use this template with the module/seq numbers (e.g. to easily convert existing footnotes), I suggest you just add it at the end of the ref (i.e.<ref>{{NESA|region=Anglia}} Module LN2, Seq 001 Accessed 29 July 2025</ref>. Lmk your thoughts. JacobTheRox^{(talk | contributions)} 22:46, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Why should module/sequence numbers replace page numbers? They can easily both be used. The reason I’m suggesting using them now is simply because that’s how the NESA has been cited up until this point, albeit as a text citation, not structured like this template would provide.
