[edit] Nav box lists Illinois routes -- not Interstates

Since I-155 is an Interstate, the call to Template:il browse should show Interstates. Will (Talk - contribs) 03:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

That is not correct per WP:USRD. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

It does not make sense to list IL-155 as the route before I-155. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

It does as that is how the browse sequence goes- people browsing by number find that useful. All other state highway projects do that. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:13, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

There is actually a rationale behind this, but I'm not sure if other state projects follow it:

1. On state highway pages (IL-155), the browse box is located in the infobox, and covers only state highways. However, there is a "see also" section that lists non-state highway pages.
2. On high-level detail Interstate or U.S. pages (I-155, U.S. 24), the browse box covers all varieties of highways. There's one on U.S. 24 that goes "IL 23 <-- (U.S. 24) --> I-24". In this system, ideally the order would be "SH X --> U.S. X --> I-X --> SH X+1 --> U.S. X+1 --> I-X+1..." Also note that the browse box links are exclusively linked to the state-level detail of the page (U.S., Interstate), even if it is an automatic redirect to another high-level detail page.

Any questions? —Rob (talk) 12:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

That's not how it's supposed to work, all states are supposed to follow #2 above. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Even though I-180 and other 3 digit interstates are state specific, I have to consider them to be federal, not state, highways. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:07, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
