Usage
This template formats the services that operate on a New York City Subway line. It should never be used directly, but rather through line templates.
Syntax
{{ NYCS time 2 |1=<subway service>|<page to link to>|<time period icon>|<description of time period>|<time period icon for express service>|<description for time period, express service>|time={{{time|}}} }}
Of these parameters, unnamed parameter, icon, text and time are required. In addition, time must have the value {{{time|}}}, as in time={{{time|}}}. This last parameter allows the template to output different styles.
- Unnamed parameter (or 1): subway service (ex. 7)
- link: What page to link to (ex. IRT Flushing Line) (if not provided, links to the service page)
- icon: What icon to show in the service time description. Use standard names. (ex. alltimes shows
) - text: description of service pattern. Should be a readable version of icon (ex. All times)
- dicon: Same as icon, but for diamond service.
- dtext: Same as text, but for diamond service.
- time: Display method. Passed through to article, use in article can be color, show, colorshow, box, full, text, nolink, or blank (nolinkatall is an additional option used in {{NYCS trains}} only).
- punct: Allows the template to be configured into a comma, serial comma, or the conjunction "and" if the
|time=parameter is equal to "nolink" or is blank. The options for|punct=are,(for comma),,and(for serial comma), andand(for conjunction), respectively. See this discussion for a detailed explanation.
