Wikipedia:WikiProject Michigan County Designated Highways
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some Wikipedians have formed a task force to better organize information in articles related to Michigan County Designated Highways. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please list yourself as a participant below, or inquire on the talk page.

[edit] Recognized content
[edit] Good Articles
[edit] Structure
Articles should best start with a short description of the state highway. This description should say where the route begins and ends, as well as any discontinuities, as defined by law. Unique details about this route may be added, but use sparingly.
[edit] Route description
A physical description of the route should be given here. Cities and communities the route traverses should be mentioned here, as well as segments of freeway.
[edit] History
The history of this route number should be discussed here.
[edit] Future developments
This section is optional. Any information on future developments for the route, such as widening or other construction projects, or route extensions, should go here.
[edit] Major intersections or Exit list
The contents of this section may vary by route. Refer to the table below for the appropriate section header and further instructions.
| Route composition | Section header title | What should be here |
|---|---|---|
| All grade-separated interchanges; no at-grade intersections | Exit list | An exit list designed in accordance with the exit list guide |
| Mixture of grade-separated interchanges and at-grade intersections | Major intersections or Exit list | Depending on the route in question, either a junction table or a "combo" exit list featuring exits and intersections can be used. See Pennsylvania Route 60 for an example. |
| All at-grade intersections; no grade-separated interchanges | Major intersections | A junction table for at-grade intersections as specified in the "Junction table" section below |
[edit] Related routes
Links to current routes with numbers related to the article route should be listed here.
Additionally, if the route has any former spurs (either spurs of itself or of a former designation), these should be listed here as well.
[edit] See also and/or External links
Also feel free to include any external links with information about the route, related construction projects, etc., or sources where you got your information. The various "link sections" should be in the following order:
- See also
- References
- External links
External links should be listed only once, either in the references or the external links section, not both.
[edit] Naming convention
Articles for Michigan County Designated highways use X-YY (Michigan county highway)
- X= Zone letter
- Y= Designation

[edit] Junction table
The junction table, to be located in "Major intersections", is for listing all of the intersections, both actual junctions and over/underpasses, that this route has with state routes, U.S. routes, Interstates and, optionally, county routes.
This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete junction table for routes that only has at-grade intersections. Just copy and paste the code below into the "Major intersections" section:
{{MIinttop}}
{{MIint
|county=
|cspan=
|location=
|lspan=
|type=
|mile=
|road=
|notes=
}}
{{MIintbtm}}
...and fill in the variables! For more entries, use this:
{{MIint
|location=
|lspan=
|type=
|mile=
|road=
|notes=
}}
If the legend is not necessary at the bottom of the table, use this at the end of the table:
{{Jctbtm}}
