{{Sidebar Adjacent stations}}

This module implements {{tl|Adjacent stations}}, {{tl|Rail icon}}, {{tl|Rail color box}}, {{tl|Line link}}, {{tl|Station link}} and {{tl|Rail color}}. Please see those templates' pages for documentation on how to use those templates. (Instructions for the <code>convert</code> function of this module are in the {{tl|Adjacent stations}} documentation.)

The aforementioned templates rely on data stored in subpages for this module ([[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Adjacent_stations/|list]]). For example, {{tltl2|Rail icon|MTR}} generates {{Rail icon|MTR}} using [[Module:Adjacent stations/MTR]].

It is possible to create and edit data by following existing examples, but having some knowledge of Lua helps prevent mistakes. If you have programmed or used Lua before, you may like to skip the next subsection.

Line 184:

=== Line table (3) ===

A virtual line named <code>["_default"]</code> can be added to set default values for all lines. Currently, this is available for twothree parameters.

|{{No}}

|Image used by {{tl|Rail icon}}. If not specified, then the data in <code>["_default"]</code> is used (<code>%1</code> in the default value is replaced by the input after alias replacement).

Line 367:

== For developers ==

Suggestions are welcomed on the talk page.

=== To-do list ===

* Convert more systems from {{tl|S-line}}, {{tl|rail line}}, {{tl|J-rserv}} and {{tl|J-route}}

* Make [[Module:Adjacent stations/example|an example module]] which contains all of the module's features, to avoid excessive examples in the documentation (maybe based on {{tl|Rdt demo}})

* Allow direct replacement of {{tl|Rail line}}?

* Function for calling a line terminus (for station layouts?)

* Before translation: figure out how to handle grammatical gender and inflection in various languages with the i18n table (e.g. [https://translate.google.com/#en/fi/towards%20Edgware%2C%20High%20Barnet%20or%20Mill%20Hill%20East%0Atowards%20Edgware%20via%20Charing%20Cross%0Atowards%20High%20Barnet%20via%20Charing%20Cross%0Athrough%20to%20the%20Piccadilly%20line%0Athrough%20to%20the%20route%20Q42%0Athrough%20to%20the%20Waterfront%20line%0AThe%20red%20route%20does%20not%20stop%20here%0AThe%20blue%20line%20does%20not%20stop%20here%0ALine%2014%20does%20not%20stop%20here%0AService%2014%20does%20not%20stop%20here%0ARed%20line%20does%20not%20stop%20here%0ABlue%20route%20does%20not%20stop%20here these phrases])

* Allow inline sources to be added

Line 380:

** parameter name changes (-left and -right, mostly – search {{tl|S-line}} for {{(((}}, maybe with the TemplateData generator, to make a list)
