Trains Template‑class

Trains Portal This template is within the scope of WikiProject Trains, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.

This template includes <ref>...</ref> tags; since there is usually no <references /> tag after it, the error Cite error: <ref> tags exist, but no <references /> tag was found is shown.

One way to fix this would be to add {{ reflist}} at the end of the template so the reference shows.

Where would you put something like this on a railroad line template? ---- DanTD ( talk) 16:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Concerned editors will have to decide how to fix this; I am responding to a request for help from Help talk:Cite errors. Possible fixes:

• Remove the reference.
• Ensure the template is always placed before the <references /> tag or {{ reflist}}; this would violate the layout guidelines
• Change the <ref> to <ref group=note> and add {{ reflist|group=note}} at the bottom of the template.

If the reference is to be useful, you need to show it at some point. --——  Gadget850 (Ed)  ^talk - 17:14, 16 February 2009 (UTC) reply

I just tried that, and it didn't work. Meanwhile, somebody else put an empty reference chapter on Orlando (Amtrak station), and that didn't work either. ---- DanTD ( talk) 20:32, 16 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Your edit to the template seems to have fixed it. --——  Gadget850 (Ed)  ^talk - 22:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC) reply

What a surprise, you're right. I suppose it simply took some time to take effect. ---- DanTD ( talk) 04:56, 17 February 2009 (UTC) reply

The reason was that you need to null-edit an article for a change in a template to take effect. Anyway, please see Help talk:Cite errors where I will address the problem of broken refs in templates in general. Debresser ( talk) 21:57, 23 February 2009 (UTC) reply

What I've done is show:

• Whether or not the station has disabled access;
• Indicate almost all water crossings;
• Indicate whether the line/station is elevated, at-grade, or in a tunnel;
• Indicate whether a border is crossed over water on a bridge, through a tunnel, or at-grade (no water), and;
• Show connecting services stations at stations, no matter how minor they may be.

If you think that I have gone a little overboard on the bridges, I sympathize with you! Much time has gone into this makeover for the diagram. I'm not sure if I will continue to improve it further, but for now, I am publishing it here.
