Usage
This template is intended to be used within station and line infoboxes, diagrams, navboxes and tables to show a small color box and a link to the associated line or service name. Its use should be avoided within body text.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
system or 1
|
An identifier to specify which system's color and line article name convention should be used; either Module:Adjacent stations/system or Template:system color must exist, e.g. Template:BJS color or Module:Adjacent stations/Taipei Metro
|
line or 2
|
The line or service to be linked |
inline or 3
|
An optional parameter to create a colorbox and link suitable for use inline with other text Valid arguments are yes, small, link, box, route, xroute and croute |
type
|
This adds " – type" to the end, where type is the parameter value (which may be changed by a module subpage), and also passes the value to the data template or module. Typically a service or branch of the line |
note
|
An optional note with more information, added at the end |
For systems where multiple colors are used to designate different lines, the appropriate color will be selected based on the combination of the system and line parameters. The same is done for systems where types/services have their own colors.
The template can be abbreviated as {{rcb}}. All examples use this abbreviated form.
Examples
{{rcb|system=Amtrak|line=Southwest Chief}}
and {{rcb|Amtrak|Southwest Chief}}

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "Amtrak color" does not exist.
{{rcb|SEPTA|Wilmington/Newark|note=(rush hour service only)}}
produces

Some options, such as setting the text color, border color, and the short name for the latter three, require the use of a module subpage. Each line can have its own values, as can each type. The table keys for line and type tables are the same: "border color"
, "text color"
and "short name"
. Note that the "background color"
key is not used by this template.
