Structure

[edit]

See WP:USRD/STDS for the preferred structure of this project's articles.

Naming conventions

[edit]

All articles are to be named "U.S. Route x". For articles that cover a segment of a longer U.S. Routes in a specific state, state-detail U.S. Route pages are to be named "U.S. Route X in Y". (where X is the route number and Y is the state name)

If more than one route of the same number exists then a disambiguation page needs to be made for that U.S. Route at "U.S. Route X". The separate routes are then given their own pages, disambiguated by state.

Categories

[edit]
All primary US highways without their own category go here with a 2 digit sort code (08 for US-8, 85 for US-85, etc.)
All US highways that run through that state go here. For 2dis, use a 2 digit sort code as above. For 3dis, follow this example: 05-7 for US-705. 25-8 for US-825.

Browse numbered routes

[edit]

Routes with state sub articles

[edit]

Type the following code at the bottom of the article after {{US Highways}}. 

{{start srbox}}
{{end box}}

In between the start and end templates, the state browse templates should be added. These templates exist in the form 

{{XX browse|previous_type=|previous_route=|route=|next_type=|next_route=}}

where XX is the two-letter abbreviation of the state in lowercase (California is ca, New York is ny, etc.).

Routes without state sub articles

[edit]

In this case, the state browse templates should go into the infobox.

Type the following code at the bottom of the infobox under |browse= 

|browse=
{{XX browse|previous_type=|previous_route=|route=|next_type=|next_route=}}

where XX is the two-letter abbreviation of the state in lowercase (California is ca, New York is ny, etc.).

For the above parameters here's what you should fill in:

  • previous_type: previous route (by number) in that state. Interstate, US (for U.S. routes), and (2-letter state abbrev.).
  • previous_route: route number.
  • route: a link to the list page for that state's highway system.
  • next_type: the same as previous_type, but for the next route.
  • next_route: same as previous_route, but for the next route.
