Template talk:Crossings navbox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Any suggestions about how to handle the crossings of the San Francisco bay? This navbox has upstream and downstream. This does not work for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge as both crossings are "upstream", one to the north and one to the south. -- Samuel Wantman 07:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by both being "upstream". Perhaps generalization of the template to allow specifying the label for crossings of things other than rivers. This would allow replacing 'upstream' and 'downstream' with other labels, such as 'north' and 'south'. I found this through Bridges of the Mississippi River, in which case 'upstream' and 'downstream' make sense. As you travel with the flow of the river (generally south), you'll pass the bridges in downstream order. --Christopherlin 04:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I added optional parameters so you can set upstream_text=West and downstream_text=East. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 10:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
