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

Usage

This template expands a name to link to the appropriate New York City Subway station article. There are three parameters:

• 1 (mandatory) - Station name
• 2 (optional) - Company (IRT, BMT or IND) and line name (without "Line"); if empty, "New York City Subway" is substituted
• |alt= (optional named parameter) - Replaces the link text to something other than the default text from parameter 1

The following abbreviations are recognized:

BMT BMT BMT station Bel BMT elevated station B4 Fourth Avenue Line B5 Fifth Avenue Line (Brooklyn elevated) B6 or B63 63rd Street Line BAA Archer Avenue Line BA Astoria Line BBn Brighton Line BB Broadway Line BC Canarsie Line BF Franklin Avenue Line BFS Fulton Street Line (elevated) BJ Jamaica Line BLX Lexington Avenue Line BMB Manhattan Bridge Line BM Myrtle Avenue Line BN Nassau Street Line BS Sea Beach Line BW West End Line		IND IND IND station I2 Second Avenue Line I6 Sixth Avenue Line I8 Eighth Avenue Line I63 63rd Street Line IA or IAA Archer Avenue Line IC Concourse Line IX Crosstown Line ICu Culver Line IFS or DF Fulton Street Line IQ Queens Boulevard Line IR Rockaway Line		IRT IRT IRT station Iel IRT elevated station I3 IRT Third Avenue Line I42 42nd Street Shuttle IB or IB7 Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line ID Dyre Avenue Line IE Eastern Parkway Line IFL or RF Flushing Line IJ Jerome Avenue Line ILn Lenox Avenue Line ILx Lexington Avenue Line INL New Lots Line IN Nostrand Avenue Line IP Pelham Line IW White Plains Road Line
		Other 63rd 63rd Street Lines Archer or AA Archer Avenue Lines

Note that these abbreviations are not case sensitive: i.e. {{NYCS station|Roosevelt Island|63RD}} produces the same result as {{NYCS station|Roosevelt Island|63rd}}.

The template can be abbreviated as {{nycs}} (for New York City Subway).

For example:

{{NYCS station|Court Street}} expands to [[Court Street (New York City Subway)|Court Street]].

{{NYCS station|Court Street|BMT Fourth Avenue}} and {{nycs|Court Street|B4}} expand to [[Court Street (BMT Fourth Avenue Line)|Court Street]].

All New York City Subway station articles follow the link form of terminating with "(<line name> Line)" or "(New York City Subway)".

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 Myrtle Avenue is at Myrtle Avenue.
