Template:IndiaRailInfo/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:IndiaRailInfo.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for a railway station in the India Rail Info. It should only be used in the "external links" section of an article.

Usage

The required parameter is the ID number. The template then uses the article title as the anchor text:

* {{IndiaRailInfo | ID }}
* {{IndiaRailInfo | id= ID }}

To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter:

* {{IndiaRailInfo | ID | Name }}
* {{IndiaRailInfo | id= ID | name= Name }}

This is necessary when adding an India Rail Info link to an article about a railway station.
