From what I hear, the plan is to connect the South Luzon Expressway to the STAR Tollway, after which the whole thing will be integrated as one expressway with theo whole thing being called the South Luzon Expressway. When that happens, I suppose the two articles should be merged. Coffee 12:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I proposed merging this article with the South Luzon Expressway article. The 7-km extension of the South Luzon Expressway from the Calamba Exit to the Santo Tomas Exit of the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road is already underconstruction. The SLEx will be connected with STAR Tollway and will be a single expressway. Akosikupal 06:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Marker image

To @Korean Rail Fan:

In regards to the marker used in the infobox, using the E2 marker is still presumptuous, as no signs showing that appears there, so that must be reverted, and leave the existing marker image as is. But, we should leave the STAR Tollway logo used on some signs, and rather add the E2 marker beside it (only if the signs are posted). TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 03:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

To @TagaSanPedroAko:
In regards to the marker used in the infobox, the fact that the official DPWH Region IV-A website clearly included the STAR Tollway alignment which is the only expressway that passes through Malvar, San Jose, Ibaan to name a few as seen here, it is not of mere presumption but a confirmation that DPWH considers it as part of the E2 route based on the map. With regards to signs posting, Yes, I will include both similar to how the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway Infobox is structured. Korean Rail Fan 05:38, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
We may add the E2 marker, but, we leave the STAR Tollway logo and note in the lead that the DPWH designation is not yet signed. Those E2 shields appear on Skyway and SLEX, but inside a blue sign with a white border and AH26 written on the lower part. So, while the DPWH have already assigned a route number for STAR Tollway, we need to note it as unsigned for now, but add the E2 shield image without removing the STAR Tollway logo there. -TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 13:32, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
I agree but instead of explicitly stating that there are no physical shields, maybe its best that we indicate that it is as being just included in the DPWH atlas. Otherwise, I guess this is already a case closed and we can have the current version as is. Korean Rail Fan 00:50, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Southern Tagalog Arterial Road → STAR Tollway – The short form with the "Tollway" suffix is more commonly used than its full form. Article should have been using the common name from the start. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 22:08, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

  • That shouldn’t be an issue. the decision to use full names is to accommodate our wider readership, but that doesn’t mean we’ll provide exceptions under WP:COMMONNAME. I’ve already moved Skyway from the unwieldy Metro Manila Skyway that’s only used in official documents (through GMaps continue using it since the Map Maker days). For NAIAX, the article has been named like that from the start, and there’s no need to spell out NAIA as both Filipinos and non-Filipinos will understand it as as the Philippines’ primary international airport. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 07:44, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
  • In addition, naming the expressways by their common abbreviated names instead of their full names is somewhat problematic provided the abbreviations changed by time. To make this point (mentioned in WT:TAMBAY). NLEX was originally called NLE , then the final X was added, first small (during the Erap and PGMA years), then becoming big during the PNoy era. Same as with SLEX: SLE -> SLEx -> SLEX. In addition, the expressway’s full names are also equally used as their abbreviations, AFAIK, and using them instead of full names will not be attractive to our international readership. But again, that doesn’t mean we won’t make our naming scheme flexible to account prevailing usage. That would have meant Skyway and Startoll were named here in WP under their shorter, more recognizable names as found on signage rather than their officialese forms on paper.TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 08:03, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Move to STAR (expressway). The WP:COMMONNAME is actually just "STAR" as even the official logo and some signages don't carry the "Tollway" suffix (an old term for expressway that has been discontinued at least officially). This is also in line with other articles on PH toll roads that use the term expressway not tollway.--RioHondo (talk) 09:23, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
