Template:Infobox New York City Subway station/doc

This is the syntax to create an infobox for New York City Subway and Staten Island Railway stations.

Usage
Copy and paste the template below:

Parameter descriptions
Top portion of infobox: Station statistics:
 * 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.
 * "SIR" - a Staten Island Railway station
 * "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)
 * "SIRformer", "SIRfuture", "SIRtempclosed", "SIRplanned": same as above, for Staten Island Railway stations
 * "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
 * 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 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)
 * code - Official station code
 * wifi – If the station has Wi-Fi, a cellular network, or wireless
 * wifi_custom_ref – The number of the reference name for the "wifi" parameter

Traffic:
 * passengers – Number of passengers using the station
 * pass_year – Year passenger information was gathered
 * pass_percent – Percentage increase or decrease in usage

Station succession:
 * next_north and next_south - The next station(s) north or south (by railroad direction) of this station. Use NYCS next with HTML breaks for multiple stations.
 * next_north_acc and next_south_acc - The next station(s) north or south of this station that are wheelchair accessible. Stations in which there is an accessible cross-platform transfer should also be included. Use NYCS next with HTML breaks for multiple stations.
 * next_east and next_west - The next station(s) east or west (geographically) of this station. Use NYCS next with HTML breaks for multiple stations.
 * next_east_acc and next_west_acc - The next station(s) east or west of this station that are wheelchair accessible. Stations in which there is an accessible cross-platform transfer should also be included. Use NYCS next with HTML breaks for multiple 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 and next_topwest_acc.

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

Parameters to be deprecated
The following parameters that are currently used in station articles should be replaced. (The reason for this is to eventually reduce the size of this template for better performance and readability.)
 * caption (replaced with image_caption)


 * coords (use coordinates)

The following parameters have been removed:


 * SIR and station_complex (replace with 'type=SIR' or 'type=complex')
 * open_year and open_month_day (use open_date)
 * line_2 (use line with HTML breaks)
 * Transfer parameters (use transfer with HTML breaks):
 * transfer_station, transfer_line, transfer_service, transfer_station_acc, transfer_service_note, and transfer_custom
 * the above appended by _2 or _3
 * Next station parameters (use next_north or next_south with HTML breaks):
 * north_station, north_line, north_service, north_skip, north_local_station, north_local_service, north_express_station, north_express_service
 * the above with north replaced by south
 * north_custom_station, north_custom_station_2, north_custom_station_3
 * the above with north replaced by south
 * font_color, bg_color, font_color_2, bg_color_2 - Deprecated

Parameters not in use yet
The following parameters are not in use yet:


 * layout – Shows the station layout of the station. Not in use as all stations already have inline layouts.

Examples
The following examples are of infoboxes from the Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street (New York City Subway) station. The second and third infoboxes, in particular, are for the Jackson Heights – Roosevelt Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line) component of the station.

Example 1
The first example provides information about the station complex.



Example 2
The second example provides information about the IND Queens Boulevard Line level. The infobox for the IRT Flushing Line level has a similar format.
