Notice about adding pictures to these templates
editPlease note that there are free-use pictures included with most of the templates in this category to represent the various services. If you wish to add more pictures, please make sure that they are added carefully, and always PREVIEW before saving to ensure the integrity of the navbox. Only add free-use pictures from the Wikimedia Commons.

editAccessibility and stubs:
Name | Example |
---|---|
{{Access icon}} |

{{NYC-transport-stub}} |
See Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/New York City Subway/Services and lines for templates used to display the services that operate on a line. These should be used almost every time an article refers to services. That way, if services change, only the templates have to be updated (as well as the page for the specific service and lines it operates over) so all the pages remain correct. Specifically, use the templates in the following places:
- station listings, both in a 'services' column showing all services that stop at the station, and for transfers to other lines
- line descriptions, when referring to another line, in most cases
- infoboxes on station pages
- anywhere else where it fits with the flow of the article
Also, if you want to remove the parenthetical portion of a wikilink when you link to articles, you can use the pipe trick. For example, instead of typing:
[[Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street]]
you can type
[[Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|]]
Both methods will produce the wikilink Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street.
Accessibility
editThe New York City Subway articles show ADA-accessibility in a variety of places. Whenever a station becomes newly accessible, a number of related edits are required:
- The correct sub-article of List of New York City Subway stations needs to be updated
- In the article for the line on which the station resides, the station needs to be shown as accessible in the tabular station listing.
- In the line template on which the station resides, the station needs to be shown as accessible with the correct icon.
- In the article for each service that visits the station, the station needs to be shown as accessible in the tabular station listing.
- In the article for the station, "accessible = yes" needs to be set in the infobox
- If the station is a terminal station; List of New York City Subway terminals also needs to be updated
(Note: For every infobox parameter that accepts "yes" for accessibility, there is also the option of entering "northbound" or "southbound" if the station is accessible in only one direction.)
