[edit] Scope
This project covers Nebraska Highways.
[edit] Goals
To organize, standardize, and expand the articles on Nebraska Highways.
[edit] Naming conventions
Articles should be named Nebraska Highway x per WP:USSH.

- Dskluz - started this WikiProject.
- • master_sonLets talk Made shields in commons
- Rschen7754 never been here but can help where needed.
- DandyDan2007 can write various articles. Know more eastern Nebraska routes than western.
[edit] Supporters
- Swid (talk | edits) I'm in an odd situation with respect to this project, given that I run one of the two "unofficial" Nebraska highways Web sites. The copyright status of my work there is different than my Wikipedia contributions.
[edit] How you can help
- Create and improve articles on Nebraska highways. See List of Nebraska numbered highways.
- Create a completion list for this project.
[edit] Structure
[edit] Infobox information
Articles should use Template:Infobox road, and all known info should be supplied. See the Infobox section on applicable flags as well as standards for the routebox.
[edit] Main Section
Untitled section that describes the route. It might be helpful for formatting to use {{TOCleft}} at the top of this section to display the table of contents on the top left, followed by the main description of the route. Depending on the route this section may just name the direction (E/W or N/S) and termination points, or may go into considerable detail. However, the majority of detail, such as progress by town or county, should be reserved for the next section.
[edit] Route description
This section is for describing the route itself and its progression across Nebraska. Regardless of the route's length, progression should be described from south to north, west to east.
[edit] Communities along the route
List of communities, which can range from small hamlets to large cities, along the route. Depending on the length of the route this may include only major communities, or just the few hamlets the route passes through.
[edit] Major intersections or Exit list
The contents of this section may vary by route. Refer to the table below for the appropriate section header and further instructions.
| Route composition | Section header title | What should be here |
|---|---|---|
| All grade-separated interchanges; no at-grade intersections | Exit list | An exit list designed in accordance with the Interstate exit list guide |
| Mixture of grade-separated interchanges and at-grade intersections | Major intersections or Exit list | Depending on the route in question, either a junction table or a "combo" exit list featuring exits and intersections can be used. |
| All at-grade intersections; no grade-separated interchanges | Major intersections | A junction table for at-grade intersections as specified in the "Junction table" section below |
[edit] History
Any historical information known about the route should be noted.
[edit] Miscellanea
Any trivia or facts about a route (any interesting information that doesn't belong in the History section) should be placed in this section.
[edit] See also
Place all internal links here.
[edit] References
Place all references here, using the <ref></ref> tags in the article and the <references/> tag in this section.
[edit] External links
Place all external links which are not references here.
[edit] Categories
All state highways should include the category tag: [[Category:Nebraska state highways|nnnA]] where nnn is 3-digit route number, and A is the letter designation if any (e.g. Route 1A is "001A", Route 2 is "002").
[edit] Talk pages
{{Nebraska Highways WikiProject}} should be placed at the top of all talk pages of articles related to Nebraska Highways.
[edit] Infobox
[edit] Touring routes
The Infobox to use for these routes is the Template:Infobox road template.
This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete routebox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.
{{Infobox road
|state=
|type=
|route=
|alternate_name=
|length_mi=
|length_round=
|length_ref=
|established=
|direction_a=
|starting_terminus=
|junction=
|direction_b=
|ending_terminus=
|counties=
|previous_type=
|previous_route=
|next_type=
|next_route=
}}
For the above parameters here's what you should fill in:
- state: NE
- type: NE for state routes
- route: This is the number of the route the article is about
- alternate_name: Use in situations where the entire route has another name (i.e. NY 590 is called the Sea Breeze Expressway for its entire length)
- length_mi: This is the length of the route in miles. If you specify beyond integers (i.e. add a decimal value) you will need to set the following paramater, length_round
- length_round: If your value for length_mi is a whole number, you can omit this. Otherwise it needs to be set to the decimal precision of the length_mi paramater.
- length_ref: To do what a good article writer should, provide your reference for the length of the route using standard <ref> method. For example: <ref name="nyr">[http://www.gribblenation.net/nyroutes/ind/090_099.htm#098 New York Routes - New York State Route 98]</ref>
- established: This is the date the route was commissioned or assigned to its current alignment
- direction_a: This should be either south or west to keep in accordance with the U.S. Roads parent project, which lists termini and junctions in progression travelling from West to East and South to North.
- starting_terminus: This is where the route begins and is either at the southern terminus or western terminus.
- junction: all junctions this route has with U.S. highways, parkways/expressways or Interstates. All other junctions, such as county routes, state routes that are not limited access expressways, or locations where a route passes over/under a U.S. highway/parkway/expressway/Interstate but does not intersect it should not be listed here. If a route that runs parallel to the article route has four junctions or more with the article route, then only the first and last junctions with the parallel route should be listed in the infobox. Please note that every junction should still be included in the Major Intersections table.
- NOTE: If a parallel route has 1-3 junctions with the article route, then all of these junctions should be listed; however, for 4 or more junctions, then only the first and last junctions should be listed.
- direction_b: The opposite of direction_a
- ending_terminus: where the route ends, in accordance with the guidelines set forth with starting_terminus
- previous_type: This is the type of route that preceeds the current one in the system. The value for this is: Interstate, US, or NE for Interstates, U.S. Routes and other Nebraska Highways, respectively.
- previous_route: The number of the route preceding this one
- next_type: Same as previous_type but for the route following this one
- next_route: The number of the route succeeding this one
Important notes regarding the routebox: For the previous and next route types, remember to list them in order of priority. The precedence is as follows: U.S. Interstate, U.S. Route, Nebraska Highways.
Any tags that do not apply to a particular route can either be omitted or left blank.
By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one above.

[edit] Junction table
The junction table, to be located in "Major intersections", is for listing all of the intersections, both actual junctions and over/underpasses, that this route has with state routes, U.S. routes, Interstates and, optionally, county routes.
PLEASE SET UP AS PER WP:IH/ELG
[edit] Shields
Many, if not all, of the parkway shields are available on the Commons. Also, all state route shields have been created in the format N-X.svg, where X is the route number.
