Template:Jctint/core/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Jctint/core.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 11,000 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Jctint/core

This is the base template for creating Manual of Style-compliant road junction lists.

Parameters

Parameters |in bold= are most important.

Pass-through parameters

A wrapper template, e.g., {{IAint}} and {{CTint}}, can simply pass these parameters to this template unmodified.

|1= accepts one of exit (to turn on a column for the exit number) and old (to turn on both columns for former and current exit numbers).
|2= only accepts name (to turn on a column for wikicode named interchanges).

Appearance

|jspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows to span for all columns. Default value is 1. This value may be overridden if a particular column specifies a desired number of rows to span.

Locations

|unitary= accepts wikicode to span across the region, sub1, and sub2 columns. NEW

|unitary_align= accepts one of left, center, and right as the desired text alignment for the unitary cell. Default value is left. NEW

|primary_topic= only accepts no. Use if independent cities or second-level subdivisions must be disambiguated, such as cities in the United States, where cities must be further disambiguated by a state.

|region= accepts the name of a state, province, or other equivalent region. The name will be automatically wikilinked.

|region_special= accepts wikicode that overrides |region=.

|regionspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given region. Must be specified to turn on the region column, e.g., for a route that crosses a state or provincial boundary.

|sub1= (subdivision-1) accepts the name of a first-level division within the region, such as a county. The name will be automatically wikilinked.

|sub1_special= accepts wikicode that overrides |sub1=.

|sub1name= accepts the type of the first-level division to be appended to |sub1=, e.g., County for counties.

|sub1span= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given division. Default value is |jspan=.

|sub1_note= accepts wikicode to appear as a note in small text below the division name.

|sub2= (subdivision-2) accepts the name of a subdivision within the first-level division, such as a city or a township. The name will be automatically wikilinked. If none, a blank cell is created for the sub2 column.

|sub2_special= accepts wikicode that overrides |sub2=.

|sub2span= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given subdivision. Default value is |jspan=.

|sub1dab= accepts the name of a first-level division to be used for disambiguating the given subdivision, e.g., for a town whose name coincides with another in a different county within the same state.

|area= accepts the area of the subdivision for further disambiguating the given subdivision, such as a name that could refer to a town or a village within the same county. For example, |area=town will create a link similar to [[Jamestown (town), Wisconsin|Town of Jamestown]].

|indep_city= accepts the names of an independent city which is itself a first-level division within a region, to span both subdivision columns.

|indep_city_special= accepts wikicode that overrides |indep_city=.

|indep_city_align= accepts one of left, center, and right as the desired text alignment for the independent city cell. Default value is left. NEW

Use |sub2span= for the desired number of rows for the given independent city.

Units

|unit= accepts a number as milepost or kilometerpost to appear in the left distance column. The template automatically converts this value to the other unit (miles ↔ kilometers) that will appear in the right distance column. NEW BEHAVIOR

|unit_ref= accepts wikicode as a reference for the given marker.

|uspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given marker and its conversion. Default value is |jspan=.

|unitdef= accepts one of mi and km as the unit of |unit=. Default value is km.
|unit2= accepts a secondary marker to appear alongside |unit=, separated by an en-dash. Useful when an intersection spans across two markers.

|line= separates both markers with a horizontal rule instead of an en-dash.

|altunit= accepts wikicode that overrides |unit=, to appear in the single distance column. Useful for nonnumerical markers, such as California's postmiles.

|auspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given marker. Default value is |jspan=.

Note: If |unit= or |unit2= contains a nonnumerical value, the article in question will be placed into Category:Jctint template using non-numeric parameter values.

Exits and intersections

|type= accepts one of the keys in Module:Road data/RJL types to characterize the junction.
|place= accepts wikicode that overrides all of the parameters below, to span across all destination and notes columns. NEW If none, no place cell is created; useful for spanning earlier place across rows below.

|pspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given place. Default value is |jspan=. NEW

|exit= accepts wikicode for an exit number to appear in the exit number column, if displayed.

|espan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given exit number. Default value is |jspan=.

|old= accepts wikicode for a former exit number to appear in the former exit number column, if displayed.

|ospan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given former exit number. Default value is |jspan=.

|name= accepts wikicode for the name of an interchange to appear in the named interchange column, if displayed. This should only be used if the name can be easily cited.

|namespan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given former interchange name. Default value is |jspan=.

|road= accepts wikicode, including {{jct}}, for the description of an intersecting road.

|rspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given intersecting road description. Default value is |jspan=.

|notes= accepts wikicode for notes on the junction. If none, no notes cell is created; useful for spanning earlier notes across rows below, or for spanning the intersection columns.

|nspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of rows for the given notes. Default value is |jspan=.

|rcspan= accepts an integer as the desired number of columns to span across the destination and notes columns. Default value is 1. It is necessary to turn off the notes column using |notes=none.
