[edit] Purpose
This template consolidates all of the rail transport track gauge specifications into one standard notation, providing options for listing either metric or imperial units first, for linking the unit abbreviations and for listing (and optionally linking to) the most common name for the specific gauge where applicable.
[edit] Usage
This template is designed for ease of use. The syntax is as follows:
{{RailGauge | gauge spec (below) [ | al=on ] [ | lk=on ] }}
The only required parameter is the gauge specification; the applicable values are listed below. Both the al and lk parameters are optional.
For example, to display the notation for the standard gauge measurement with the alternate name and both the alternate name and measurement labels linked to the applicable articles:
{{RailGauge|sg|al=on|lk=on}}
produces:
1,435 mm (4 ft 8½ in) standard gauge
