[edit] Parameters

The parameters are as follows:

address: The station’s street address, as given on the C-Train map.
image: A photograph of the station, in fully MediaWiki syntax; it should usually be 300px wide, without a thumbnail box, but a caption should be provided for the visually-impaired. If no photograph is available, leave this field blank.
coordinates: Geographic coordinates, please use {{Coord}}
opened: The date on which the station opened to the public.
line: The line(s) serving this station, either 201 or 202.
nextstation: Links and distances to the next stations. Please mark the distances with ≅ if they are approximations based on the distance by road.

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
