Template:Infobox trail/Radfernweg/doc

Usage

This template enables data on cycling paths imported from German Wikipedia (using de:Vorlage:Infobox Radfernweg) to be translated and displayed in English Wikipedia using {{Infobox cycling path}}. This saves the enormous amount of work otherwise entailed in translating parameters and data into en.wiki templates. Some of this translation involves technical terms that may not be obvious to some translators. In addition, en.wiki templates are not capable of displaying all the information provided here.

The template is available for the hundreds of articles on German, Austrian and Swiss cycle paths being translated into English Wikipedia that will be able to take full advantage of its features.

When translating an article from German Wikipedia, just import the infobox and translate any free text. It is worth previewing the result first as data in several parameters will be automatically translated if recognised; otherwise it defaults to the entered text. This feature is being enhanced continually. Blank parameters are ignored. The parameter text is shown below; their use is explained in the Parameters section.

The display of coordinates has yet to be automated.

Parameters

Parameter	Meaning	Type	Explanation
NAME	Name	optional	Name in the header of the infobox; default is the article name.
LOGO	Waymark	optional	Note: German Wikipedia format will have to be stripped down
GESAMTLÄNGE	Length	optional	Length of the cycleway, usually in kilometres.
ORT	Location	optional	Location of the cycle path
KARTE	Map	optional	Map of the route. Format may have to be changed.
KARTENBESCHREIBUNG	Map caption	optional	Undertitle of the map.
START	Start location of the route	optional	Combined into "trailheads" in Infobox cycling path.
START-BREITENGRAD, START-LÄNGENGRAD and START-REGION	Start coordinates and ISO region	not currently used
ENDE	Finish location	optional	Combined into "trailheads" in Infobox cycling path.
ENDE-BREITENGRAD, ENDE-LÄNGENGRAD and ENDE-REGION	Finish coordinates and ISO region	not currently used
KOORDINATEN-ANZEIGE	Coordinates display	not currently used
KARTEN-LINK	Map link	not currently used
ORTE	Places en route	optional	List of the main cities, towns and/or villages on route
BELAG	Surface	optional	Type of surfacing along the cycle path e.g. tarmac, gravel, grass.
HÖHE	Height difference	optional	e.g. 270 metres uphill/355 metres downhill
BREITENGRAD und LÄNGENGRAD	Latitude and Longitude	optional	The WGS84 coordinates for the (highest) summit on the mountain. Should be given in decimal format; the template automatically converts this to dms in the display. If not, convert to decimal or enter the dms data under the COORD parameter, as the format is not supported by Template:Coord.
SCHWIERIGKEIT	Difficulty	optional	e.g. 'easy': gradients under 5%, medium: gradients between 5 and 10 %; difficult: gradients over 10%
VERKEHR	Use	optional	Type of traffic using the route e.g. 70% cycleway, 20 % country roads, 10% dual carriageway.
KARTE	Map	optional	Name of an image for a map. If this parameter is set, this map will be used instead of the automatically generated location map.
ZERTIFIZIERUNG	Designation	optional	Certification of the route by an official organisation such as the ADFC.
ALTERNATIVKARTE	Alternative map	optional	Alternative map (image) in relation to a POSKARTE or REGION-ISO fixed datum.
HOMEPAGE	Website	optional	Link to official website.
BREITE	Width of the infobox	not currently used
LISTE	Route listing	optional	Not sure if this will display correctly yet
