Template:BSsrws

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template expands a name – split over two lines – to link to the appropriate railway station article, without displaying "railway station".

• The text will inherit the alignment of the parent cell, but can be overridden by applying the parameter "|align=left" or "|align=right".
• The first and second parameters are the two lines. They are combined to form the station name. The words railway station are not needed.
• The third parameter (alternatively "|3=" or "|S=") will change the default words "railway station" in the link to its contents.
• The fourth parameter (alternatively "|4=") will change both lines to italic text. Any character or text can be used.
• The fifth parameter (alternatively "|5=") will change both lines to bold text. Any character or text can be used.
• The separating line can be forced to appear by providing an argument for the parameter "|line=anything".
• Background colors can be specified by providing a valid html color or hex triplet for the parameters "|bg1=" (top line) and "|bg2=" (bottom line).

For example:

• {{BSsrws|Stratford|International}} links to [[Stratford International railway station]] and displays

  Stratford

  International

  .
• {{BSsrws|Stratford|International|station|it}} links to [[Stratford International station]] and displays

  Stratford

  International

  .

Incorrect uses

If either line of text is empty, the page that the template is used on will be a member of Category:Pages using BSto or BSsrws with missing text values.
