If the station article already has the template {{Koordinate Artikel}}, the coordinates may be displayed twice in the upper right hand corner.

Routes (Strecken) No Yes No
  • All railway lines that associated with the station are listed here. Their names should be entered as a link. Long route names can be abbreviated to enable a single-line entry, but the link should still be retained.
  • For German railways the associated timetable number should be entered in brackets. Where no article exists for the railway line, a link may be made the right section of the List of scheduled railway routes in Germany (on German Wikipedia this is automated using Vorlage:Kursbuchlink)
  • The individual routes are displayed as a list. This is achieved, as in free text, by starting each line with a *. It is important to enter one route per line. Only in this parameter can an asterisk be used; all other lists must be created using <ul><li>Wert 1</li><li>Wert 2</li>…<li>letzter Wert</li></ul>.
