[[Template:Title case station|Template:Title case]]

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

For use with Template:S-line in San Diego Trolley articles.

Usage

This template expands a name to link to the appropriate San Diego Trolley station article, without displaying "(San Diego Trolley station)".

The template can be abbreviated as {{mtss}} (for San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) stations).

For example, {{MTS stations|station=Gaslamp Quarter}} expands to [[Gaslamp Quarter station|Gaslamp Quarter]].

Discretion should be used on whether to name the place itself or the station that serves it. In railway articles it is generally preferred to use the station unless specifically talking about the place, for example that [[Template:Title case station|Template:Title case]] serves Seaport Village.

Most MTS stations follow the link form of terminating with "station", "station (San Diego Trolley)" or "Transit Center".


For the Transit Centers, the optional 2nd argument (any character) will split the text into two lines:

This text Displays
{{mtss|12th & Imperial}} Template:Mtss
{{mtss|12th & Imperial|2}}
[[Template:Title case Transit Center|Template:Title case]]
[[Template:Title case Transit Center|Transit Center]]

Note that this template is not case sensitive: i.e. {{mtss|H Street}} produces the same result as {{mtss|h street}}.


The following abbreviations and exceptions are recognized:

This text Expands to
Lemon Grove or Lemon Grove Depot [[Lemon Grove Depot]]
Santa Fe or Santa Fe Depot [[Union Station (San Diego, California)|Santa Fe Depot]]
SDSU [[San Diego State University Transit Center]]
UTC University Towne Center
(Terminus of the future Mid-Coast Trolley extension;
not linked since no article exists yet.)

The words "Street", "Avenue", "Drive", "Boulevard", and "Transit Center" may be omitted.
