It will also place the template in the appropriate category (generally Category:Templates for railway lines in country or Category:Templates for railway lines of country) if placed in the template namespace.
The format is {{Railway-routemap|country|parent article to be linked to|optional parameters}}
.
Country is specified by any valid ISO 3166-1 country code.
The template also recognizes these unofficial codes:
Code | Location |
---|---|
AFR | Africa |
AA or ASA | Asia |
CT or CAT | Catalonia |
EU or EUR | Europe |
KO | Korea |
NIL | Northern Ireland |
UK | United Kingdom |

Including the optional named parameter |type=

The optional named parameter |display=
will replace the text of the article link. If display

{{Railway-routemap|US|Heartland Flyer|display=''Heartland Flyer''|type=[[Amtrak]] train service}}
and{{Railway-routemap|US|Heartland Flyer|display=i|type=[[Amtrak]] train service}}
will both change the first line of the template to:

.
Setting |cat=s
or =stn
or =station
will also add the template to either Category:Station layout templates or the appropriate sub-category, and change the first line of the template to:
Setting |cat=seg
or =segment
will also add the template to Category:Route diagram template segments, and change the first line of the template to:

NS or NSW | New South Wales | Category:New South Wales route diagram templates |
Q or QLD | Queensland | Category:Queensland route diagram templates |
V or VIC | Victoria | Category:Victoria (state) route diagram templates |
