This template formats the services that operate on a New York City Subway line. It should never be used directly, but rather through line templates.

Syntax

change

{{ NYCS time 2 |1=<subway service>|<page to link to>|<time period icon>|<description of time period>|<time period icon for express service>|<description for time period, express service>|time={{{time|}}} }}

Of these parameters, unnamed parameter, icon, text and time are required. In addition, time must have the value {{{time|}}}, as in time={{{time|}}}. This last parameter allows the template to output different styles.

  • Unnamed parameter (or 1): subway service (ex. 7)
  • link: What page to link to (ex. IRT Flushing Line) (if not provided, links to the service page)
  • icon: What icon to show in the service time description. Use standard names. (ex. alltimes shows )
  • text: description of service pattern. Should be a readable version of icon (ex. All times)
  • dicon: Same as icon, but for diamond service.
  • dtext: Same as text, but for diamond service.
  • time: Display method. Passed through to article, use in article can be color, show, colorshow, box, full, text, nolink, or blank (nolinkatall is an additional option used in {{NYCS trains}} only).
  • punct: Allows the template to be configured into a comma, serial comma, or the conjunction "and" if the |time= parameter is equal to "nolink" or is blank. The options for |punct= are , (for comma), ,and (for serial comma), and and (for conjunction), respectively. See this discussion for a detailed explanation.
