When displaying an image either 'image' or 'image_name' should be used, not both. The 'image' field allows an image width to be specified, while 'image_name' automatically sets the width to 265px (preferred).

When identifying the original company and pre-grouping company 'original' and ' pregroup' should be used. In the event that the station is reopened (for example - Alloa railway station, it will not conflict with the infobox for open stations. The 'line' and ' manager' fields refer to the initial setup of the template and should be avoided to prevent this possible conflict.

The 'original' field refers to the company that originally founded the station if different from the 'manager' field.

The 'pregroup' field refers to the historical railway company that owned and/or maintained the station prior to the 1923 grouping.

Legacy fields

The 'line' field refers to the company that originally founded the station if different from the 'manager' field.

The 'manager' field refers to the historical railway company that owned and/or maintained the station prior to the 1923 grouping.

The 'owner' field refers to the Big Four company that took over after the 1923 grouping.

Note: latitude must be present if longitude is present, and vice versa, and they should have the same number of decimal places (trailing zeroes are significant). Four decimal places are recommended for disused stations as in a lot of cases a former station site may be difficult to locate: four will allow some extra precision.

[edit] Microformats

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.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
