===Naming conventions=== ===Naming conventions===
For subway stations, use '''<Station Name> (<Division Name> <Line Name>)'''. The most commonly-used form of each station name should be used. This will ''usually'' be the name on maps or schedules (except under exceptional circumstances, which should be discussed on this project's ]). Numbered streets should be written with their ordinal adjective (e.g., "59th Street"); numbers ten or below should be written out (e.g., "Third Avenue"). Station names can be retrieved in route . (CAUTION: These names may not be the most commonly-used. Use with discretion.) Where needed, redirects should be placed. In most multi-line stations, each line will have its own article for that station. In some cases, where there is much to say about the complex as a whole, only one article will be written for the complex and all its individual stations; naming for those articles is usually '''<Station Name> (New York City Subway)''' (e.g., ]). Articles about subway railyards are simply of the form '''<Yard Name>'''.

=====Notice about adding pictures to these templates=====
==Templates==
Please 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.
See ] 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:

WikiProject New York City Public Transportation is a project to better organize information in articles dealing with mass transit in New York City and its surrounding areas. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions and opinions of interested contributors; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and coordinate the efforts of all.

To help, please inquire on the discussion page.

This New York City transportation–related article is a stub. You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it.

See Misplaced Pages: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:

]

you can type

]

Both methods will produce the wikilink Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street.

Accessibility

The 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:

  1. The correct sub-article of List of New York City Subway stations needs to be updated
  2. In the article for the line on which the station resides, the station needs to be shown as accessible in the tabular station listing.
  3. In the line template on which the station resides, the station needs to be shown as accessible with the correct icon.
  4. In the article for each service that visits the station, the station needs to be shown as accessible in the tabular station listing.
  5. In the article for the station, "accessible = yes" needs to be set in the infobox
  6. 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.)
