Hello and welcome to the Florida County Roads Task Force! If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or, if you would like to join, feel free to sign up below.

[edit] Title

Florida County Roads Task Force

[edit] Scope

This task force covers all county roads in Florida.

[edit] Goals

To standardize, organize and expand all articles regarding county roads in Florida.

[edit] How you can help

You can help by opening the County roads in Florida article, selecting a county, then selecting any road in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or opening any route that you can provide more information about.

Most of the existing route articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can open Category:Florida State Road articles needing work. Also, you can check Category:Florida road stubs to see which articles need expanding.

Routes in Category:Routes needing mileposts have been converted to the new standard but are missing mileposts for the junctions. You can open this category and add mileposts for any route listed. Once the mile column has been completed (to the nearest tenth for each junction), the {{Mileposts}} tag can be removed.

Here are some tasks you can do:

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

[edit] Structure

All articles should be in the form "County Road X (Y County, Florida)", where X is the route number and Y is the name of the county. For roads in multiple counties, the article should be in the form "County Road X (Florida)". This is in line with the convention used at other county route projects, such as WP:NJSCR, and can also be used with the "pipe trick" when editing (though this is not a reason why this convention is in place).

[edit] Infobox information

The Infobox to use for this project is Template:Infobox road.

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 road
|marker_image=
|state=FL County
|highway_name=
|name_notes=

County Road A1A

Length:

32.68 mi^[1] (52.59 km)
Palm Beach County - 6.22 mi (10.01 km)
Martin County - 15.88 mi (25.56 km)
Volusia County - 7.18 mi (11.56 km)
St. Johns County - 3.40 mi (5.47 km)

South end:

US 1

Major
junctions:

SR 312 in St. Augustine Beach

North end:

SR A1A in St. Augustine Beach

County roads in Florida
< CR 5054		CR 1 >

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

type: county the route is in (if in multiple counties, leave blank)
route: route number
highway_name: street names can be listed here separated by in-line breaks (<br>) (max. three names, please)
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. It should be the following for all articles: <ref name="FDOT GIS">[[Florida Department of Transportation]], [http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/gis/default.htm FDOT GIS data]</ref>
length_notes: For roads in multiple counties, list mileage out per county
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: Any major junctions along the route should be listed here. If more than one is listed, use a <br> to break the lines
direction_b: The opposite of direction_a
ending_terminus: where the route ends, in accordance with the guidelines set forth with starting_terminus
previous_type and next_type: county for the previous/next road in the browse (if multiple counties leave blank)
previous_route and next_route: route number for previous/next road in the browse

So, by completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one to the right.

[edit] Untitled introductory section

Depending on the road this section may just name the direction (E/W or N/S) and termination points, or may go into considerable detail. However, the majority of detail, such as progress by town, should be reserved for the next section.

[edit] Route description

This section is for describing the road itself and its progression across the county. Regardless of the road's length, progression should be described from south to north, west to east.

[edit] Cities along the route

List of cities, which can range from small towns to large cities, along the road. Depending on the length of the road this may include only major cities, or just the few towns the road passes through.

[edit] Major intersections

List of the state routes, U.S. routes, Interstate routes and county routes that this route intersects with in table form.

This section is for listing all of the intersections, both actual junctions and over/underpasses, that this route has with the above route types.

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete junction table on the article page, just place this in the Major intersections section and fill in the variables. An example of a complete table, see WP:ELG.

{| class=wikitable
!County
!Location
!Mile
![[Exit number|#]]
!Destinations
!Notes
|-
|}

Use the following template in your junction lists to ensure formatting is correct:

{{jct|state=FL|County|97|county1=Escambia|city1=Pensacola}}

will produce: CR 97 – Pensacola

See {{jct}} for a full list of parameters.

[edit] History

Any historical information known about the route should be noted.

[edit] Miscellanea

Any trivia or facts about a route (any interesting information that doesn't belong in the History section) should be placed in this section.
