Help:Project Pages

When creating pages for community created projects, you should use this general format.

At the top of the page, you should include an Infobox. You should use the Template:Infobox ROSProject.

To generate an infobox you can use the following syntax. Note that parameters are all optional, so can be removed if not required for a specific project.

{{Infobox ROSProject
| name        = Name of Route
| description = Route Description
| country     = Country Code
| time_period = Rough Time Period
| company     = Train companies that operate the route, can use one or more.
| difficulty  = Difficulty of the route (1-10)
| author      = Name of Author(s)
| repository  = Link to GitHub repository
| website     = Link to ROS website page
| map         = <!-- Include the route map template here -->
}}

Following the infobox, include a brief description of the route. This could include history, background, or just some interesting facts.

Timetable

Give some details about the timetable

The table below allows a summary of standard services to be provided. This should work for most routes however for some the headings may need adjusting (see Harrow-on-the-Hill, Glasgow Central).

Frequency should be in tph where possible, or if tpd is more applicable, include the "tpd" in the cell. Limited or Infrequent can also be used if necessary.

Services should be grouped by train operating company - each company should only appear once in the left most column. Where possible, services should also be grouped such that stations are not repeated, or are repeated as little as possible if unavoidable.

Merge cells using 'colspan="#"' and rowspan="#" where possible, except for in the frequency column.

Train Operating Company colours can be found here - sometimes these aren't the best colours to use, for example for South Western Railway it is better to use the Island Line colour. If the required colour is not there (eg London Underground line colours), a hex code can be used instead. Typically the train operating company should be in white to be legible, however in some cases black text is better.

<Insert Route Name> Services
Train Operating Company	Origin	Destination	Frequency (tph)
London Overground	Origin 1	Destination 1	4
	Origin 2	Destination 2	2
Thameslink		Destination 3	1tpd
	Origin 3		2
Great Northern			2
	Origin 4	Destination 4	0.5
	Origin 2		1
	Origin 5	Destination 5	Infrequent

Peak only services and freight services should not typically be included in the table. Instead these should be briefly be mentioned below. Exceptions apply - see Thameslink Core.

Operational Tips

Optional - if there are any operating tips for the route, include them here. You may like to use heading 3 to separate them if there are lots of tips, for example by location

Trivia

Optional - if there's any random facts about the route that you want to mention
