[edit] Usage

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete routebox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.

{{Infobox NY Parkway
|name=
|route=
|length_mi=
|length_round=
|length_ref=
|established=
|direction_a=
|starting_terminus=
|junction=
|direction_b=
|ending_terminus=
|counties=
}}

For the above parameters here's what you should fill in:

• name: The name of the parkway.
• route: The reference route number of parkway, including the suffixed letter. If the parkway does not have a reference route designation, enter "none".
• unbuilt: If the parkway was never constructed, enter "yes". Otherwise, omit this parameter.
• length_mi: This is the length of the route in miles. If you specify beyond integers (i.e. add a decimal value) you will need to set the following paramater, length_round
• length_round: If your value for length_mi is a whole number, you can omit this. Otherwise it needs to be set to the decimal precision of the length_mi paramater.
• length_ref: To do what a good article writer should, provide your reference for the length of the route using standard <ref> method. For example: <ref name="nyr">[http://www.gribblenation.net/nyroutes/ind/090_099.htm#098 New York Routes - New York State Route 98]</ref>
• established: This is the date the route was commissioned or assigned to its current alignment
• direction_a: This should be either south or west to keep in accordance with the U.S. Roads parent project, which lists termini and junctions in progression travelling from West to East and South to North.
• starting_terminus: This is where the route begins and is either at the southern terminus or western terminus.
• junction: All major junctions along this route. There is a maximum limit of 10 junctions per WP:USRD/INNA guidelines.
  • These are some general guidelines of what to place here:
    • Intersections with U.S. Highways, parkways/expressways, or Interstate Highways.
    • Intersections that help to illustrate where the route passes through (see New York State Route 7). These are generally intersections with long-distance travel routes or intersections in major locations on the route.
  • These are some general guidelines of what not to place here:
    • Junctions that do not fall into the classes above, such as those with county routes, state routes that are primarily local in nature, or locations where a route passes over/under a a road but does not intersect it.
    • Junctions with roads that parallel the road the article is about (example: I-88 and NY 7), as these junctions typically do not help to illustrate where the route travels.
  • Routes should appear as "NY XXX", Interstates should appear as "I-XXX" and Parkways should appear as "(Name of Parkway) Pkwy", where XXX is the route number per WP:USRD/INNA. Examples: New York State Route 153→NY 153…Interstate 390→I-390…Taconic State Parkway→Taconic Pkwy.
  • Try to avoid listing multiple junctions from a single area. In the event that this occurs (such as NY 104 intersecting both I-81 and US 11 in Maple View), list only the most important of the junctions. Simply put, avoid repeating locations.
• direction_b: The opposite of direction_a
• ending_terminus: where the route ends, in accordance with the guidelines set forth with starting_terminus
• counties: a list of counties that the route enters

Any tags that do not apply to a particular route can either be omitted or left blank.

By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one above.
