Template:WikiProject Trains/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Trains. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
The {{TrainsWikiProject}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:
{{TrainsWikiProject | small = | class = | importance = | portaldykdate = | portalSAweek = | portalSIweek = | unref = | pr = | oldpr = | stations = | streetcars = | subway = | Subway-importance = | NYPT = | NYPT-importance = | Japan = | UK = | UK-importance = | UKTrams = | UKTrams-importance = | Scotland = | Scotland-importance = | NZR = | NZR-importance = | WashingtonMetro = | Underground = | LUL-importance = | SovMetro = | Thomas = | Jamaica = | Jamaica-importance = | DE = | DE-importance = | bycountry = | images = | locos = | maint = | maps = | model = | monorail = | operations = | passenger = | portal = | timelines = | mapneeded = | Mapdetails = | imageneeded = | Imagedetails = | infoboxneeded = }}
It is important that the capitalisation shown above be used. For example, using |Streetcars=yes
by mistake for |streetcars=yes
will fail to place the article within WikiProject Streetcars; similarly, using |underground=yes
instead of |Underground=yes
will not add the article to WikiProject London Transport.
Template display formatting parameters:
- small - show the normal or reduced size template; shows the reduced size template if small=yes.
