[edit] Israel Railways templates

What do you need help with?

I want to improve the box for Israel Railways stations so it will be like that of the London Underground one (with line colors, etc.) IgKh 13:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Please provide the article title so i can see the problems. Aleenf1 14:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps this is the box you mean?

No, not this one. In the bottom of each Underground Station article (such as Russell_Square_tube_station) there is a small box that states the lines that pass through the station, their color, and the next and previous stations.

The boxes on the few articles on Israel Railways stations (see Jerusalem_Malcha_Train_Station), are broken - no color, bad titles, etc. IgKh 15:45, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean this fellow here?:

Template:Start LUL box Template:LUL line |}

Yes. How can I create a box template like this for Israel Railways lines? And another question: how can I create new stub categories? IgKh 16:47, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Stub #Additional information for instructions on new stub categories. Aleenf1 17:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

OK the first box is

{{start LUL box}} {{LUL line|previous=[[Holborn tube station|Holborn]]|line=Piccadilly Line|next=[[King's Cross St. Pancras tube station|King's Cross]]}} {{end box}}

The second is

{{Start Israel Railways box}} {{Israel Railways line|term1=|previous=''Terminus''|line=Jerusalem-Kfar Saba Line|next=[[Biblical Zoo (Israel Railways station)|Biblical Zoo]]|term2=[[Kfar Saba-Hod Hasharon (Israel Railways station)|Kfar Saba-Hod Hasharon]]}} {{end box}}

The curly brackets invoke templates: these are pages that are substituted with the variable listed in the appropriate place (and can get quite complicated). If you look at the templates they are very similar but the one you are lloking at uses an argument called "line color" in this expression style="background:# . If you try setting this to a suitable value (I'm cheating and using Template:LUL colour fromthe big box above) you get


Previous station Israel Railways Next station

Template:LUL colour

which shows us there is a bug in the template. Actually there seems to be more than one, because I fixed the obvious one, and it was still broken. But that's how to do it. Rich Farmbrough 18:28 16 June 2006 (GMT).

OK tmeplate now fixed. Rich Farmbrough 18:36 16 June 2006 (GMT).
Thank you very much! The only problem left is that both columns say "Next Station", rather than "Previous Station" and "Next Station".

That is becasue it depends on which direction you're going, I suppose. Template:Start Israel Railways box is the place to go to change it if you want to. Rich Farmbrough 22:03 28 June 2006 (GMT).

Shalom, I was wondering if you had any suggestions and improvements to the template version I used in the articles I created. Best and most complex example is at Tel Aviv Merkaz Railway Station. On a different subject – I left an answer form you on my talk page. Db1944 20:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
