Talk:List of state highway spurs in Texas

Filling out the table

I'm slowly converting this over to the templates a section at a time. If anyone would like to help, there's plenty of information that needs to be added.

Taking the first row as an example, before completing it, the coding looks like:

{{routelist row|local
|state=TX
|type=Spur
|route=1
|length_mi=
|length_ref=
|terminus_a=
|terminus_b=
|local=[[Uvalde, Texas|Uvalde]] Spur
|established=1939
|established_ref=
|decommissioned=1943
|decommissioned_ref=
|notes=none
}}

Now, if I look up the designation in the Highway Designation Files, I can change the established year to the more specific 1939-09-26, change the decommissioned year to the more specific 1943-12-16 and give it some termini. Because the one terminus should contain a link to the location, I should unlink it in the local name column as well. I can verify the name of the spur, and if the HDF had the length, I could insert that. Finally, I can apply a citation using {{TxDOT}} for the dates (and the length, if possible). That would look something like:

{{routelist row|local
|state=TX
|type=Spur
|route=1
|length_mi=
|length_ref=
|terminus_a=U.S. Fish Hatchery
|terminus_b= [[U.S. Route 90 in Texas|US 90]] west of [[Uvalde, Texas|]]
|local=Uvalde Spur
|established=1939-09-26
|established_ref=<ref name=SL1>{{TxDOT|SL|1|access-date= July 26, 2015}}</ref>
|decommissioned=1943-12-16
|decommissioned_ref=<ref name=SL1/>
|notes=none
}}

Just one last note, but since the first {{TxDOT}} in the first footnotes for Spur 1 will link to Texas Department of Transportation, all of the others should add |link=no to the template so that the department's name isn't linked in every footnote. Imzadi 1979 → 10:21, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
