Template:RailGauge/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Purpose[edit]
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]
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)

Optional parameters:
| Parameter | What it does | Example (code and output) |
|---|---|---|
| al=on | Adds the alternate name after the gauge measurement values | {{RailGauge|sg|al=on}} 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) |
| lk=on | Adds wikilinks to the measurement unit label (and the alternate name where applicable) |
{{RailGauge|sg|lk=on}} 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) |
| allk=on | Adds wikilinks to the alternate name where applicable | {{RailGauge|sg|lk=on}} 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) standard gauge |
| disp=s | Uses a slash as a separator rather than parentheses | {{RailGauge|sg|disp=s}} 1,435 mm/4 ft 8 1⁄2 in |
| wrap=y | Will allow the output to break before the parentheses if column width is narrower than output |
{{RailGauge|sg|wrap=y}} 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) |
