These templates act as a database to store route information:
These auxilliary templates:
are important in that they provide additional info required to display data.
All this info is fed into Template:TL Route Display + route number as parameter to produce a list version. eg. {{TL Route Display | 700}}
A sample table comprises of the above information, but is compiled using:
This format of data storage means different ways of presenting the data can be developed, when the need arises. It also makes it incredibly easy to make Wikipedia-wide changes to formatting and information as, for example, at each station page dynamic templates for the connecting routes will replace the static text currently there.
To add additional routes, an entry needs to be placed into Origin, Destination (preferably in the order on the timetable), Via (eg. suburbs serviced) and Type (Local/BUZ/Link etc). Data on route operators and regions, including exceptions to the numbering plan (eg. Surfside 567) has already been entered.
Following that, an entry to display the data needs to be placed into the list and/or table.
