Template:LRT Station/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This template expands a name (first parameter) to link to the appropriate Light Rail Transit station article, without displaying "LRT station".

The template can be abbreviated as {{lrt}} or {{lrts}}. It correctly handles articles named "Xxx LRT station", "Xxx LRT Station" and "Xxx light rail transit station" without any additional parameters.

For example:

{{lrts|Universiti}} expands to [[Universiti LRT station|Universiti]].

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 Ampang Park is located on Ampang Park.

Most LRT station articles follow the link form of terminating with "LRT station" (or "light rail transit station").
