Usage
This template expands a name to link to the appropriate Staten Island Railway station article, without displaying "(Staten Island Railway station)".
The template can be abbreviated as {{sirs}} (for Staten Island Railway station).
For example, {{SIR station|Arlington}} expands to [[Arlington (Staten Island Railway station)|Arlington]].
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 West New Brighton serves West New Brighton.

| For new systems and systems in need of maintenance, consider using the newer {{Station link}} (abbreviated Script error: No such module "Template link general". or Script error: No such module "Template link general".) instead, which uses the faster and less maintenance-intensive Module:Adjacent stations. |
A number of other templates provide the same function for specific systems:
