Usage

{{Infobox Australian road}} is the standard infobox used in Australian articles. Australian articles using {{Infobox road}} should be converted to use this infobox as it contains additional functionality, including that of {{Infobox street}} and {{Infobox road junction}}. Code exists for implementation of {{Infobox road small}} functionality if that is deemed to be necessary. See this discussion for more information.

To use this template

Copy the relevant blank template from the Blank infobox template page into the beginning of your document, remembering to put the code at the very top of the article and the first word of the article on the very next line. For road junctions, use the reduced parameter set at Template:Infobox Australian road/Blank#Road junctions.
Enter values for the parameters as outlined in the table below. Fields left blank will automatically be hidden.

Parameters

All parameters used by this template are optional, except for |type=. Some parameters require others to be completed in order to display data correctly. The following are available:

Basic setup parameters:
Parameter Description	Source/notes	Values
type type of road	Required parameter. Sets up the template for a specific type of road or road junction.	"highway", "road", "rural road", "street", "expressway", "freeway", "motorway", "parkway", "track" or "junction"
urban is in urban area?	If the road is wholly contained within an urban area, set `\|urban=yes`.	"yes" or empty
status or uc_former road status	Status of the road for use in limited circumstances. Only use when the road is under construction, proposed or has been closed.	Under construction: "uc" or "under construction" Proposed: "proposed" Closed: "closed"
road_name name of road	Primary name used for road	plain text, do not wikilink
road_name2 alternative name	Alternative name(s) for road	plain text, do not wikilink. When there is more than one name, separate them with a solidus ( / ). If there are more than two names, use a bulleted list (which will display as a plain list).
state state where the road is located (end_a)	Use the 2 or 3 digit state code corresponding to the location used for `direction_a` and `end_a`. It will automatically be converted to the full state name and wikilinked. If the road passes through more than one state, use `state2` for the "other end" of the road.	"qld", "nsw", "act", "vic", "tas", "sa", "wa", "nt" or "jbt".
state2 state where the road is located (end_b)	If the road passes through only one state, this parameter will not be used. When it is used, use the 2 or 3 digit state code corresponding to the location used for `direction_b` and `end_b`. It will automatically be converted to the full state name and wikilinked.

Image and map parameters:

Parameter: Description

Source/notes

Values

route_image: route shield/box

Should only be used on articles about a route itself, not standard highways and roads (further information).
For noting routes allocated to a road, use route
For promotional logos, use |logo=

{{AUshield}} with |size= set (for shields),
or image filename without "File:" (for other images)

logo: route logo

Promotional logos can also be used here (subject to copyright considerations), see Majura Parkway as an example of this.

image filename without "File:"

logo_upright: width of the route logo image

This is an optional field. If not specified, the image width will default to |upright=0.81, which is approximately 180px if the default thumbnail size has not been changed at Special:Preferences) The size should not be set to a value that would result in an image width greater than 270px. See help below for guidance on determining the value to be used.

image filename without "File:"

mapframe: show mapframe map?

A mapframe map showing the location of the road will display by default if both location is not set, and the page's Wikidata item has a coordinate location (P625) statement. The road itself may be highlighted on the map, depending on whether an appropriate OSM relation both exists and is tagged with the relevant Wikipedia page / Wikidata item (see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/OSM for further details). To turn off the mapframe map, set |mapframe=no

"no" or leave blank

Additional parameters for mapframe map

Basic parameters:
- mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: on if |location= is not set
- mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: value in |loc_caption= or blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
- mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, the subsequent mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
- mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
- mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata
- mapframe-wikidata – Set to yes to show shape/line features from the wikidata item, if any, when |coord= is set. Default: not specified
Customise which features are displayed:
- mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified

- mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Default: not specified
- mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified
- mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
  - auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
  - geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
  - zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average

The image_upright parameter, and image2_upright and logo_upright where applicable, is/are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px), as this forces a fixed image width.

Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.

170px → upright=0.75
180px → upright=0.8
190px → upright=0.85
200px → upright=0.9
210px → upright=0.95
220px → upright=1
230px → upright=1.05
240px → upright=1.1
250px → upright=1.15
260px → upright=1.2
270px → upright=1.23
280px → upright=1.25
290px → upright=1.3
300px → upright=1.35

"Ref" fields

Any references should be placed within the respective "_ref" parameter's field and not within the field reserved solely for a numeric value. For example, place the reference used for the length of the road in the {{{length_ref}}} and not in the {{{length}}} parameter. Otherwise, an error may result.

Unformatted numbers and expression errors

Certain parameters require numeric values to be entered in an unformatted/raw fashion—i.e. 1000.0 NOT 1,000.0. If an expression error is present, simply remove any commas or spaces from the number.

Subpages

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
category
county-name
extended-address
fn
label
locality
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
uid
url
vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

geo
latitude
longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
