Why was my update of an external link removed?

In August of this year, I updated the link to the Roadgeeks font website from http://www.triskele.com/roadgeek-fonts to https://www.n1en.org/roadgeek-fonts/ since the former is now unaviailable. My edit was reverted by @Frost 5 days later. I am quite puzzled by this and would like to know the reason. 116.220.127.216 (talk) 08:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the website is 100% clear that the fonts are for hobbyist use, not for commercial use, and will not be released open source, then they should a) not be used to produce road signs and b) should not be linked to from the documentation page. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:36, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ohhhh I see. 116.220.127.216 (talk) 10:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-motorway services

Comments welcome on the inclusion/exclusion of non-motorway service stations in Template talk:Motorway service stations in the United Kingdom. Thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 22:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing a route marker (Great Britain A525)

The A525 (in GB) lost its section of primary route in 2010.^[1] I've created a non-primary symbol for it, ^[2] ("secondary" in the file name is a misnomer,^[3] but other UK road symbols already had similar names). What would I need to do for this to be used in the various templates in place of the current symbol? Aoeuidhtns (talk) 23:26, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
