Overview

[edit]

This is a modified version of the {{Infobox Locomotive}} template. Several new features have been added such as auto-linking, default values for common fields that may be over ridden if another value is entered. Several optional features such as a secondary image, railroad logo and manufactures logo have also been added.

Usage

[edit]

Working examples can be here This template has a large number of parameters, but only two are required:

  • name - The name that will appear above the top line of the infobox. If no name is provided "Please enter a name" will be displayed.

The remaining parameters are as follows (in the order that they will appear in the template output):

  • multiunit - Multiple unit for EMU and DMU trainsets. Does not display if option is not chosen. (Syntax: multiunit = <emu/dmu>)
  • multipleunit - <Multi-unit type>, if different than above. No auto-linking, link must be supplied if desired. Does not display if option is not chosen.
  • image - The filename for the primary infobox image. If no image is provided the default image will be added. Also, if no primary image is added the article will automatically be added to Category:Rail transport articles needing images. When a primary image is provided, or added the article will automatically be removed from this category.
  • imagesize - The size of the image in pixels (as in imagesize=200|), default value is 200; to use the image's actual size, specify imagesize as a blank value (as in imagesize=|). Setting image size above 300px are not recommended.
  • caption - The image caption that will be displayed

Optional secondary image added in new Infobox version.

  • image2 - The filename for the sedcondary infobox image. The secondary image is optional added for convenience. It is the editors choice how to use this option. (Perhaps e.g. cab view of the locomotive, different perspective, etc.)
  • image2size - The size of the image in pixels (as in imagesize=200|), default value is 200; to use the image's actual size, specify imagesize as a blank value (as in imagesize=|). Setting image size above 300px are not recommended.
  • caption2 - The image caption that will be displayed. If the image2 option is not used, this caption will not be displayed.
  • designer - The name of the locomotive's designer
