Usage

This template should be added to all Route Diagram Templates of New York City Subway lines. It adds the following text (without the surrounding box) to an RDT:

This is a route-map template for a New York City Subway line.

For a key to symbols, see {{railway line legend}}.
For information on using this template, see Template:Routemap.
For pictograms used, see Commons:BSicon/Catalogue.

Note: Per consensus and convention, most route-map templates are used in a single article in order to separate their complex and fragile syntax from normal article wikitext. See these discussions ^[1],[2] for more information.

Adding an optional parameter will include the line name as a link, for example,

{{NYCS-routemap|BMT Broadway Line}}

will change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for the BMT Broadway Line, a New York City Subway line.

If the optional named parameter |service= is included (with any argument), then "Subway line" will be changed to "Subway service". For example,

{{NYCS-routemap|service=T}}

will change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for a New York City Subway service.
