Interwiki check[edit]

There's currently an interwiki link to nl:Doorloopkop. The subject of that Dutch article is a walkable connection between coaches that is intended to be coupled or uncoupled during normal operation, functioning either as a closed dead-end at the end of the train or as a hallway to the next unit of carriages.

If this is exactly what a vestibuled train is, then that should be made more clear in this article. To me as a layperson, comparing the two articles, it isn't at all clear that these two articles actually refer to the same subject.

If on the other hand it's a different concept, for example just joining carriages together in multiple units with walkways between carriages within the same unit, the interwiki link should be removed or changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 07:03, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gangway connection (d:Q2539133) might be better for nl:Doorloopkop. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:06, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The VIRM has gangway connections, but no doorloopkop. It specifically refers to the kind of thing you see on the MS/AM96 or the 271系. If there is no better match, I think the interwiki should be removed, because interwikis are supposed to link articles about the same subject.
