Template:RailGauge
 | This is a candidate to have a transwiki guide. Due to the complexity of the project or template, this guide will help editors adapt it to a remote wiki when this cannot be done by simply copying the codes of one single template. If you know this template syntax very well, feel free to start the guide in Template:RailGauge/Transwiki guide. Once the transwiki guide page is complete, replace this tag by {{Transwiki guide}}. |
Purpose
[edit source]This template consolidates all of the rail transport track gauge specifications into one standard notation, providing options for listing either metric or imperial units first, for linking the unit abbreviations and for listing (and optionally linking to) the most common name for the specific gauge where applicable.
Usage
[edit source]This template is designed for ease of use. The syntax is as follows:
{{RailGauge | gauge spec (below) [ | al=on ] [ | lk=on ] [ | allk=on ][ | disp=s ] [ | wrap=y ]}}
The only required parameter is the gauge specification; the applicable values are listed below. The al, lk and disp parameters are optional.
For example, to display the notation for the standard gauge measurement with the alternate name and both the alternate name and measurement labels linked to the applicable articles:
{{RailGauge|sg|al=on|lk=on}}
produces:
1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) Standard gauge
