Template:TTC station/doc
Appearance
This is a documentation subpage for Template:TTC station. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
[change source]This template expands a name to link to the appropriate Toronto subway station article, without displaying the trailing "station". It also handles cases where more disambiguation is needed.
The template can be abbreviated as {{ttcs}}.
For example:
{{ttcs|St. Clair West}}
expands to [[St. Clair West station|St. Clair West]]
and
{{ttcs|Lawrence}}
expands to [[Lawrence station (Toronto)|Lawrence]]
.
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 Bathurst is located at Bathurst Street.

[change source]For new systems and systems in need of maintenance, consider using the newer {{Station link}} (abbreviated {{stl}} or {{slk}}) instead, which uses the faster and less maintenance-intensive Module:Adjacent stations. |
