Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

• If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
•  [[Template:Adjacent stations]]
• to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
•  <noinclude>[[Template:Adjacent stations]]</noinclude>
• to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}.

Adjacent stations is a specialised succession box template that links adjacent station articles, along with the termini of one or more lines or services. It is a Lua version of {{S-line}} (see differences).

Usage

Data module

Before the template can be used, a module needs to be created that includes information about the transport system such as the title, lines and the termini of those lines. The data module needs to be a sub-page of Module:Adjacent stations (Module:Adjacent stations/system), and needs to be of a specific structure.

See Module:Adjacent stations for a guide on creating and editing data modules. Note that not all variables are used by this template.

If a system exists in {{S-line}}, you can also use {{Adjacent stations/row|system|line}} inside Special:ExpandTemplates to simplify subpage creation for lines with two termini. You will need to replace every two spaces with a tab space afterwards.

Transclusion

For multiple lines or systems, this template only needs to be transcluded once. Each line is assigned a number. The parameters for the corresponding line are suffixed by the number (e.g. system2, line2). Parameters without a number suffix are treated as group 1.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Behaviour if absent	Notes
systemn	The system to which line n belongs. This should correspond to a subpage of Module:Adjacent stations.	System for n assumed to be same as the previous group. Renders empty table if no systems are entered.	Displays error message if unrecognised.
linen	The name of line n (or recognised alias). This should correspond to a key under ["lines"] in data. Displays the termini of the line as subtext in left and right cells by default. Renders Terminus as subtext if adjacent station is terminus.	Line for n assumed to be same as the previous group. Renders only header row if no lines are entered.	Displays error message if unrecognised.
leftn	The name of the previous station. Renders the formatted station name in the left cell as main text.	Renders Terminus in the left cell as main text.
rightn	The name of the next station. Renders the formatted station name in the right cell as main text.	Renders Terminus in the right cell as main text.
to-leftn	The left terminus name or alias. Used to replace left terminus where it is non-default.	Uses default left terminus.	Uses un-formatted name if terminus is absent in data.
to-rightn	The right terminus name or alias. Used to replace right terminus where it is non-default.	Uses default right terminus.	Uses un-formatted name if terminus is absent in data.
ton	Terminus name or alias on either side. Used to replace either terminus where it is non-default.	Uses default termini.	Only replaces side with defined terminus in data.
transfern	The name of the transfer station for the line, at stations where an interchange with a line at another nearby station is possible.
oneway-leftn	If entered, 'One-way operation' is displayed in the left cell instead of the small text which indicates the line terminus. This can also be entered for the whole line in the system subpage.
oneway-rightn	If entered, 'One-way operation' is displayed in the right cell instead of the small text which indicates the line terminus. This can also be entered for the whole line in the system subpage.
nonstopn	If entered, instead of displaying previous and next stations, displays 'line does not stop here'. If the value for this parameter is 'former', then 'did not stop here' will be used instead.
headern	A table header across the width of the table, displayed above the succession for the line. This will display with or without other parameters with the same number.
hide-systemn	When set to any value, the system row is not displayed. This is useful in the middle of a table when a different module is used but the displayed system name would be the same.	System name is displayed.	See Coevorden railway station for an example.
note-rown	A note across the width of the table, displayed below the succession for the line. This will display with or without other parameters with the same number.
note-leftn	A note, displayed below the left (previous) station's name.
note-midn	A note, displayed below the line name.
note-rightn	A note, displayed below the right (next) station's name.
throughn	The through line – trains on the line run through to this line. If this is entered, 'through to line', in italics, displays where 'Terminus' would.
through-leftn	The through line for the left cell only (primarily for compatibility purposes).
through-rightn	The through line for the right cell only (primarily for compatibility purposes).
reversen	If this is entered, 'reverses direction', in italics, displays where 'Terminus' would.
reverse-leftn	The same for the left cell only (primarily for compatibility purposes).
reverse-rightn	The same for the right cell only (primarily for compatibility purposes).
noclear	Prevents the template from inserting the equivalent of {{clear}} before the template. In the article body, this parameter can be set to y for an inline version of the template. Do not use this parameter inside {{Infobox station}}'s |services= parameter.	The equivalent of {{clear}} is inserted before the template. This is the default.

Conversion from S-line

After creating the module subpage, you can use the convert function of Module:Adjacent stations to replace transclusions of the S-line series templates (this currently does not work with {{Rail line}}-series templates). This can be semi-automated using regular expressions in AWB and other tools:

Find	Replace	Notes
\|\s*system\s*=\s*oldSystem	|system=newSystem	Replacement for system name in {{S-line}}, if the old system is different from the new system. (Not necessary for {{S-rail}}, which is ignored.) Use the g regular expression flag to replace multiple uses.
(\| *(?:services|other_services) *=)((?:\s*\{\{.+\}\})+)	$1 {{subst:#invoke:Adjacent stations|convert|$2}}	Replacement for {{Infobox station}}'s |services= and |other_services= parameters.
(\{\{[Ss](?:(?:-rail)?-s)?tart\}\}(?:\s*\{\{.+\}\})+\s*\{\{(?:[Ss]-end|[Ee]nd)\}\})	{{subst:#invoke:Adjacent stations|convert|$1}}	Replacement for standalone succession boxes. Use the g regular expression flag to replace multiple boxes on the page.

The conversion will not work if

• the input includes templates other than those in the S-line series;
• a system or line in the input is unrecognized or otherwise invalid;
• there are unmatched square or curly brackets in the input.

Differences from S-line

The output of {{Adjacent stations}} is nearly identical to that of {{S-line}}, but is used differently. Here are lists of comparable elements in the two templates.

Data

Item	{{S-line}}	{{Adjacent stations}}
System name, title and icon	In {{S-rail/lines}}	Subpage name, values of ["system title"] and ["system icon"]
Line name and title	In Template:system lines	Key beneath ["lines"] and value of ["title"] beneath the corresponding line
Branch/type name and title	In Template:system branches	Key beneath ["types"] and value of ["title"] beneath the corresponding type
Station format	In Template:system stations	Key–value pairs beneath ["station format"]
Colour	In Template:system color	Value of ["color"] beneath the corresponding line or type
Left terminus name	In Template:S-line/system left/line	Value of ["left terminus"] beneath the corresponding line
Right terminus name	In Template:S-line/system right/line	Value of ["right terminus"] beneath the corresponding line
