Parameter descriptions

Top portion of infobox:

• name - The station name
• type - The type of station. Values are:
  • (default) - a New York City Subway station
  • "complex" - a New York City Subway station complex (a station with transfers to other lines on non-adjacent platforms). This is the setting for the first infobox on a page with multiple NYCS infoboxes; subsequent infoboxes describe individual platforms.
  • "former" - a former/permanently closed New York City Subway station
  • "future" - a future New York City Subway station (i.e. under construction)
  • "tempclosed" - a temporarily closed New York City Subway station
  • "planned" - a planned New York City Subway station (i.e. not finalized yet)
  • "custom" - if "custom" is put as the value for the type parameter, insert a custom value in the type_custom parameter.
• image - An image of the station
• image_size - Specifies an image size in pixels other than the default (300 pixels)
• image_caption - A caption for the image
• alt - Alternate text for the image

Station statistics:

• address - Street address/intersection of the station
• borough - Borough that the station is located in
• locale - Locale/neighborhood of the station
• map_type, coordinates – The coordinates, when placed here, add the station's location on a map of New York City Subway lines, as well as add geographical coordinates of the station using {{coord}}.
• line - Line(s) that serve the station
• service - New York City Subway only: The service at the station: see Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/New York City Subway/Lines
• service_header - Services displayed on the top of the infobox as shown on the sign at the station's entrance. This is only used if the station sign omits rush-hour, late-night, or off-peak services
• service_custom - Services for non-New York City Subway lines and closed stations
• service_type and service_header_type: For some {{NYCS ...}} templates, there is an extra parameter called "type", so these two parameters are used for that template's "type" parameter.
• transfer - Transfer(s) to other lines. Use {{NYCS transfer}} with HTML breaks for additional stations.
• connection - Connecting services (e.g. bus, rail) that serve the station
• structure - Type of station structure (e.g. underground, at-grade, or elevated)
• depth - The depth of the primary platform below ground level
• levels - Number of levels of platforms at the station (use only if more than one exists; mezzanine/entrance levels are not included)
• platforms - Information about the platform(s) at the station
• tracks - Number of tracks at the station

Other information:

• open_date - Date station originally opened and dates of subsequent reopenings (if applicable)
• close_date - Date(s) station closed, either temporarily or permanently
• rebuilt - Date(s) station last received a rebuild/rehabilitation
• accessible - If any text is placed here a universal symbol for disabled accessibility () will appear.
• acc_note - Notes about accessibility of the station, such as inaccessibility elsewhere
• cross_platform - If any text is placed here, the note "Cross-platform wheelchair access available" will appear.
• former and other_name - Use former for previous station name(s) (give dates when possible); use other_name for alternative names currently in use
• other_exits - Other station entrances/exits (note whether they are entrance or exit only)
• opposite_transfer - whether there is a free transfer to other platform(s) with service in the opposite direction. Usually, this is already given by default, but the default can be overridden.

Traffic:

• (default) - Pulls ridership figures, including the number of passengers, the year passenger information was gathered, the percentage increase or decrease in usage, and the ridership rank, out of total stations.
• hide_traffic - Hide section from the infobox with input of "hidden".
• pass_station_name – The exact page title of the station whose statistics are being used. See Template:Infobox New York City Subway station/ridership/doc#Page names.

Station succession:

• adjacent_stations - Use Module:Adjacent stations/New York City Subway to display services along New York City Subway lines.
• adjacent_stations_collapsible - Makes services collapsible and collapsed by default.
• unused_adjacent_stations - Use Template:Adjacent stations to display non-revenue track and station connections along current New York City Subway lines. Collapsed by default.
• other_adjacent_stations - Use Template:Adjacent stations to display former rail services along current New York City Subway lines. Collapsed by default.
• next_north and next_south - The next station(s) north or south (by railroad direction) of this station, used mainly on former stations.
• next_east and next_west - The next station(s) east or west (geographically) of this station, used mainly on former stations.
  • By default, east corresponds to railroad north, and west corresponds to railroad south. If the opposite is true (i.e. east corresponds to railroad south), use next_topwest.

Station service legend: Provides a section for explaining the service symbols used in the infobox.

• nolegend - removes station service legend from infobox for closed stations and non-NYCS stations
• legend - overrides default station service legend

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• region
• street-address
• uid
• url
• vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

• geo
• latitude
• longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
