This is the basic syntax you need to get a New Zealand shield for use in a junction listing. Just place this prior to a road name and fill in the variables.
{{NZshield|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8}}
Here's what you should fill in [ edit ] 1, 3, 5, 7: The code for the type of route. See the table below for the codes to use.2, 4, 6, 8: The route number.Parameters 3 to 8 are optional, and should only be used when two or more routes are multiplexed on the same road.
Always use an even number of parameters, as using an odd number of parameters will generate an error.
The parameters replace the numbers, i.e. it should not be 1=S, just simply S. Route Types [ edit ]

Other settings [ edit ] Alt text: By default, alt text and image linking is turned off. Use |alt=on to include alt text (e.g. State Route 2 ) and the default image link.
Size: The default size is x20px (height of 20 pixels). To change this, use |size= parameter, which accepts the same values as the [[File ]] syntax .
