[edit] Parameters

marker_image
Image of the route marker, this parameter is only necessary when multiple shields are needed, such as the case with Airport Loop
name_notes
Notes to go under the route designation and name
type
The type of route (MD for state route US for U.S. highway, etc.) (default is MD)
number
Route number
route
Used for non-numbered routes, the name of the route
name
Name or names of the route if it's numbered (ex: "Governor Ritchie Highway, Solomon's Island Road" for MD 2 or "Paul T. Pitcher Memorial Highway" for MD 100). If a name only applies to a short section of the route or is more commonly associated with another route, that name should be left out of the list (Ex: Do not include "John Hanson Highway" for MD 2)
map
A map image of this route
length_mi
Length in miles
length_round
number of decimal places the length should be rounded to (default is 2)
length_ref
citation for the length (most are available via HLR, a link to there should suffice)
length_notes
notes on the length
established
when the route was established
decommissioned
when the route was decommissioned (N/A for existing routes) (default is N/A)
from_direction
the beginning direction of the route (such as West)
to_direction
the ending direction of the route (such as East)
from
City or town nearest to the terminus indicated by from_direction
to
City or town nearest to terminus indicated by to_direction
beltway_city
City or town the route encircles if it is a beltway
routes_junctioned
List of some numbered routes that junction this one (excluding termini), some things to note about this section:
  • For longer routes, only list junctions with major routes, in general, try keep the list at 10 or less routes
  • Routes should be listed North to South or West to East and should not be repeated.
  • Routes should be listed in the format [[Image:image|size]] [[route link]]. The image is the shield image, the size is 20px if the route uses a square shield (such as 1 and 2-digit routes), and 25px if the route uses a wide shield (such as 3-digit routes), and the route link is a link to the route, with the abbreviation of the route (MD 2, US 50, I-95) as the visible link text.
  • Basically, routes junctioned is just to give the user an idea of where the route is in relation to other routes, for a more exhaustive list of junctions, use the "Junction list" section as outlined in WP:MDRD/EG.

[edit] Deprecated parameters

The following parameters are deprecated and should no longer be used

image
Image of shield/sign for the route (Image:MD blank.svg for routes that don't have one) (DEPRECATED, remove once number and type have been added, or replace with marker_image as necessary)
length_km
Length in kilometers (DEPRECATED, unnecessary (now handled by internal calculation), should be removed)
direction
either "North/South", "West/East", "Loop", or briefly describe the directions (such as "North/South north of MD 108, West/East east of MD 108") (DEPRECATED, replace with from_direction and to_direction, loops should use the beltway_city parameter)

[edit] To use

Copy the text below and insert the parameter values after each "=" except for list of routes junctioned which should be inserted in the space provided as a list.
