==Wikipedia articles on Ohio State Highways==
[[List of Ohio State Highways]]
*[[List of Interstate Highways in Ohio]]
*[[List of U.S. Highways in Ohio]]
*[[List of State Routes in Ohio]]
 
==Structure==
See [[WP:USRD/STDS]] for full information on article standards and structure.
 
===Naming===
*'''Articles''' should be named "Ohio State Route ''n''", where ''n'' = route number.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
*'''Route shields''' are named "OH-''n''.svg" and ''should be'' complete for active routes. Contact [[User:Homefryes|Homefryes]] [[User talk:Homefryes|(talk)]] if you need any missing shields. Existing shields can be seen here: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ohio_State_Route_shields Ohio State Route Shields]
 
===InfoboxCategories===
The Infobox to use for this project is the [[Template:Infobox road]] template.
 
This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete infobox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.
<pre>
{{Infobox road
|state=
|type=
|route=
|length_mi=
|length_round=
|length_ref=
|established=
|direction_a=
|starting_terminus=
|junction=
|direction_b=
|ending_terminus=
|counties=
|previous_type=
|previous_route=
|next_type=
|next_route=
}}
</pre>
{{Infobox road
|state=OH
|type=SR
|route=14
|length_mi=81.2
|length_round=1
|length_ref=<ref name=sa>Calculated using DeLorme Street Atlas USA software</ref>
|established=1924
|direction_a=West
|starting_terminus=[[Image:US 6.svg|20px]][[Image:US 20.svg|20px]] [[U.S. Route 6 (Ohio)|US 6]]/[[U.S. Route 20 (Ohio)|US 20]] in [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]]
|junction=[[Image:I-90.svg|20px]] [[Interstate 90 (Ohio)|I-90]] in [[Cleveland]]<br>[[Image:I-77.svg|20px]] [[Interstate 77 (Ohio)|I-77]] in [[Cleveland]]<br>[[Image:I-80.svg|20px]][[Image:OhioTurnpike.svg|20px]] [[Interstate 80 (Ohio)|I-80]]/[[Ohio Turnpike|OH Tpk.]] in [[Streetsboro, Ohio|Streetsboro]]<br>[[Image:I-76.svg|20px]] [[Interstate 76 (Ohio)|I-76]] near [[Ravenna, Ohio|Ravenna]]
|direction_b=East
|ending_terminus=[[Image:PA-51.svg|20px]] [[Pennsylvania Route 51|PA 51]] near [[East Palestine, Ohio|East Palestine]]
|counties=[[Cuyahoga County, Ohio|Cuyahoga]], [[Summit County, Ohio|Summit]], [[Portage County, Ohio|Portage]], [[Mahoning County, Ohio|Mahoning]], [[Columbiana County, Ohio|Columbiana]]
|previous_type=SR
|previous_route=13
|next_type=SR
|next_route=15
}}
For the above parameters here's what you should fill in:
* '''state:''' '''OH'''.
* '''type:''' '''SR''' for state routes.
* '''route:''' This is the number of the route the article is featuring.
* '''length_mi:''' This is the length of the route in miles. If you specify beyond integers (i.e. add a decimal value) you will need to set the following paramater, length_round.
* '''length_round:''' If your value for ''length_mi'' is a whole number, you can omit this. Otherwise it needs to be set to the decimal precision of the ''length_mi'' paramater.
* '''length_ref:''' To do what a good article writer should, provide your reference for the length of the route using standard <nowiki><ref></nowiki> method. In this example, the mileage was calculated using software, but here’s an example if the mileage reference comes from an external web source: <nowiki><ref name=pah>[http://www.pahighways.com/state/PA701-750.html#PA739 Pennsylvania Highways - Pennsylvania Route 739]</ref></nowiki>.
* '''established:''' This is the year the route was commissioned or assigned to its current alignment.
* '''direction_a:''' This should be either '''south''' or '''west''' to keep in accordance with the U.S. Roads parent project, which lists termini and junctions in progression travelling from West to East and South to North.
* '''starting_terminus:''' This is where the route begins and is either at the '''southern''' terminus or '''western''' terminus. The template <nowiki>{{OHShield|</nowiki>''N''|''YY''px}} can be used as a shortcut for entering Ohio shields. ''N''=route number and ''YY'' is the size of the shield in pixels – 20 for 1- and 2-digit routes, and 25 for 3-digit shields.
* '''junction:''' Only junctions with 2-digit interstates along the route should be listed here. If more than one junction is listed, use a <nowiki><br></nowiki> to break the lines. If the interstate is multiplexed with another route, the other routes can be included.
* '''direction_b:''' The opposite of ''direction_a''.
* '''ending_terminus:''' where the route ends, in accordance with the guidelines set forth with ''starting_terminus''.
* '''counties:''' a list of counties that the route enters, separated by commas.
* '''previous_type:''' '''SR''' (currently, this project is only including state routes in the browse portion of the infobox).
* '''previous_route:''' The number of the route preceding this one.
* '''next_type:''' Same as ''previous_type'' but for the route following this one.
* '''next_route:''' The number of the route succeeding this one.
 
So, by completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one to the right.
<pre>
{{Infobox road

}}
</pre>
 
===Main section===
Untitled section that describes the route. Depending on the route this section may just name the direction (W/E or S/N) and termination points, or may go into more detail.
 
===Cities and villages along route===
A section containing a list of cities and villages along the route, from south to north and/or west to east. Municipalities that have their own articles should be “wikified” to link to those articles (these are generally incorporated municipalities). Municipalities that do not have their own articles (generally unincorporated) may also be listed depending on their importance.
 
===Junctions===
This section is for listing all of the intersections, both actual junctions and over/underpasses, that this route has with Ohio traffic routes (1-872), Interstates and U.S. routes.
 
This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete junction table on the article page, just place this in the '''Junctions''' section and fill in the variables.
<pre>
{{OHinttop}}
{{OHint
|county=
|cspan=
|___location=
|lspan=
|mile=
|type=
|road={{subst:OHint/OH|00|00px}}
|notes=
}}
{{OHintbtm}}
</pre>
 
For additional entries, use this:
<pre>
{{OHint
|county=
|cspan=
|___location=
|lspan=
|mile=
|type=
|road={{subst:OHint/OH|00|00px}}
|notes=
}}
</pre>
 
For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:
{|class=wikitable
!|Heading
!|What to Enter
|-
|'''county'''
|name of county – automatically coded for <nowiki>[[''Blank'' County, Ohio|''Blank'']]</nowiki>; just enter county name.
|-
|'''cspan'''
|number of rows this county spans.
|-
|'''___location'''
|municipality – use for municipalities such as <nowiki>[[''Municipality'', Ohio|''Municipality'']]</nowiki>, where the municipality has its own article (incorporated cities and villages); just enter the municipality name.
|-
|'''location_special'''
|use in place of '''___location''' field to enter townships if they have associated articles as <nowiki>[[''Name'' Township, ''Blank'' County, Ohio|''Name'' Township]]</nowiki>, or to enter the text to be displayed for municipalities that do not have their own associated articles.
|-
|'''lspan'''
|number of rows this ___location spans.
|-
|'''mile'''
|milepost to the nearest 1/10th.
|-
|'''type'''
|'''noaccess''' – for highways that cross but have no actual junction<br>'''mplex''' – for concurrencies<br>'''decomd''' – for intersections with decommissioned routes or segments<br>'''unbuilt''' – for planned junctions<br>'''closed''' – for indefinite closures (not temporary)
|-
|'''road'''
|intersecting road(s) at this junction. To generate the proper coding, use <nowiki>{{subst:OHint/XX|Y|ZZpx}}</nowiki>, where<br>• XX = OH (Ohio), US (U.S. Route), or IN (interstate)<br>• Y = route or interstate number (1 to 3 digits)<br>• ZZ = size of shield in pixels (20 or 25)<br>'''Notes''':<br>• Multiple routes at one intersection can be entered by inserting a <nowiki><br></nowiki> and then entering another <nowiki>{{subst:OHint}}</nowiki> template.<br>• Intersections with multiplexed routes or complex intersections can be entered manually by not using the <nowiki>{{subst:OHint}}</nowiki> template, and entering the links to the road articles below the shields after a line break <nowiki><br></nowiki>. It’s preferred to enter multiplexes manually so that the shields are side-by-side, but not required.
|-
|'''notes'''
|any notes regarding this junction.
|}
Any field which is empty can be omitted. Junctions which are approximately 0.1 mile apart may be combined into one entry in the table.
 
See [[Ohio State Highway 14]] for an example of how the table is used.
 
===Points of interest===
Major attractions along the road, such as institutions of higher learning and recreation areas.
 
===History===
History of the route. This can be as brief as a sentence or as extensive as a few paragraphs or a list by year. Items must be referenced (as described in the '''length_ref''' portion of the '''Infobox''' section above).
 
===Miscellanea===
Put all oddities, miscellanea, etc. here, such as recent projects to improve/upgrade the road, the road in popular culture, etc.
 
===Sources===
<nowiki><references/></nowiki> pulls all the references in the article to a list here.
 
===External links===
Links regarding the entire highway go here. These should be different than the links that are referenced in '''Sources''' or any other section.
 
===Categorize article===
No heading for this section in the article. Place this text – <nowiki>[[Category:Ohio state highways|</nowiki>''nnn''<nowiki>]]</nowiki> – at the bottom of each article, where ''nnn'' is the route number (use leading zeros for routes 1-99).
