[edit] Voltage

I think a "Voltage" parameter would be useful under the Technical part of the template (immediately below Electrification). Other railway line templates have this so this one might as well too. Thoughts? Manmaru (talk) 01:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The way I interpret this infobox, the electrification parameter is to contain the voltage and carry system if electrified, and No if the railway in unelectrified. Arsenikk (talk) 09:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

See for instance how it is used in Dovrebanen. Arsenikk (talk) 09:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps that works, however the template documentation says that the field el is for the type of electrification (overhead, third rail), not the amount of volts.Manmaru (talk) 12:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually the documentation is just a guide. Anything that is suitable to be placed under "Electrification" and is easily understood by the reader is sufficient :) - oahiyeel ^talk 15:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
