Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Usage

This template generates an infobox for railway depots. Below is the basic syntax that you need to get a complete infobox for an article. Place this below any hatnotes and before any other text and fill in the variables. If a variable is empty, it can and should be omitted. Other, more specific parameters exist and are described in detail below.

Syntax

This is the basic code you need to set up an infobox for a railway depot:

{{Infobox railway depot
| embed                = <!-- set to yes if this infobox is embedded in another infobox -->
| name                 = <!-- title of the infobox itself -->
| depot_logo           = <!-- an image of the depot's logo, i.e. the Cockney sparrow for Stratford TMD, etc. (e.g. Image_name.png) -->
| logo_upright         = <!-- scaling factor for the logo -->
| logo_alt             = <!-- alternate text for the logo -->
| logo_caption         = <!-- caption for the logo -->    
| image                = <!-- photo of the depot (e.g. Image_name.png) -->
| image_upright        = <!-- image scaling factor -->
| image_alt            = <!-- alternate text for main image -->
| caption              = <!-- caption for the main image -->
| location             = <!-- name of the location -->
| coordinates          = <!-- {{Coord|LAT|LONG|type:landmark|display=inline,title}}--> <!-- Decimal degrees, to four decimal places -->
| grid_ref_UK          = <!-- Ordnance Survey two-letter and six-number grid reference, for depots in the United Kingdom --> 
| owner                = <!-- name of the owner -->
| operator             = <!-- name of the operator -->
| depotcode            = <!-- The current depot code, only. For earlier depot codes, use former_depot_codes -->
| type                 = <!-- Locomotive, Steam, Diesel, Electric, DMU, EMU, HST, Carriage, Departmental, Freight, etc. -->
| roads                = <!-- number of storage roads -->
| rollingstock         = <!-- The current classes of rollingstock stored at the depot, only. For earlier classes, use former_rolling_stock -->
| routes               = <!-- routes operated from the depot -->
| opened               = <!-- {{Start date|YYYY|MM|df=y}} -->
| closed               = <!-- {{End date|YYYY|MM|df=y}} -->
| original             = <!-- The original railway company which owned the depot -->
| pregrouping          = <!-- United Kingdom ownership until 1923, e.g. LNWR -->
| postgrouping         = <!-- United Kingdom ownership from 1923 to nationalisation in 1948, e.g. LMS -->
| BR_region            = <!-- Region of British Rail which the depot was within -->
| former_depot_codes   = <!-- former codes for the depot -->
| former_rolling_stock = <!-- classes of rollingstock formerly stored at the depot -->
| embed                = <!-- another infobox to embed in this one -->
}}

Example

{{Infobox railway depot
| name = Birkenhead Mollington Street
| image = Birkenhead Locomotive Depot geograph-2219081.jpg
| image_size = 150px
| caption = [[NLR Class 75|North London Railway Class 75]] in 1948
| location = [[Birkenhead]], [[United Kingdom]] 
| coordinates = {{coord|53.3861|-3.0168|type:railwaystation_region:GB_scale:2000_source:Google|display=inline}}
| grid_ref_UK = SJ323882
| type = [[Locomotive]]
| closed = {{End date|1985}}
| original = [[Chester and Birkenhead Railway]]
| former_depot_codes = {{ubl|6C|8H|BC}} 
}}

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
category
county-name
extended-address
fn
label
locality
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
uid
url
vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

geo
latitude
longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
