This is a template for generating an intersection or exit for an Australian Capital Territory road article. It is a member of the {{Jctint}} suite of templates.

General usage[edit]

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete intersection table. Just copy and paste the code below:

{{AUSinttop|sub1=District}}
{{ACTint

|district=

|dspan=

|location=

|lspan=

|type=

|km=

|road=

|notes=

}}

{{Jctbtm}}

...and fill in the variables! For more entries, use this:

{{ACTint

|district=

|dspan=

|location=

|lspan=

|type=

|km=

|road=

|notes=

}}

Within a single district[edit]

If a road is entirely within a single district, you may omit the district column by using the following code:

{{AUSinttop|noLGA=yes}}
{{ACTint

|location=

|lspan=

|type=

|km=

|road=

|notes=

}}

{{Jctbtm}}

...and fill in the variables! For more entries, use this:

{{ACTint

|location=

|lspan=

|type=

|km=

|road=

|notes=

}}

Also note that the table should be preceded by line explaining the omitted column, such as:

The entire freeway is in the Gungahlin District.

Parameters[edit]

For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:

  • district: The name of the district the intersection is in. Full wiki markup is required.
  • dspan: number of rows the district spans. If value=1, omit this parameter. If set, district should be omitted from the other rows it spans.
  • location: the suburb the intersection is in. The text entered here will be wikilinked to <text entered>, Australian Capital Territory, so if the intersection is in multiple suburbs, you must use location_special (see below). For areas outside the designated suburbs, use |location=none
  • lspan: number of rows the location spans—if value=1, omit this parameter. If set, location (or location_special) should be omitted from the other rows it spans
  • type: use to specify a shading for that intersection's row. The permitted types are:
    • closed: for highway intersections or interchanges that are now closed to traffic
    • mplex or concur: for a route multiplexing terminus or concurrencies.
    • unbuilt: for unbuilt roadway intersections/interchanges.
    • incomplete: for incomplete intersections/interchanges where all movements are not supported (Northbound exit and southbound entrance, etc.)
    • hov for interchanges that are only for High occupancy vehicle lanes
    • toll or etc. for an interchange where tolls or electronic toll are collected
    • Note: If the type parameter is used, the table must include a colour key at the bottom of the table. Use the |keys= parameter in {{jctbtm}} to generate a compliant legend.
  • km: the distance, in kilometres, of the intersection from the start of the road. Only enter numerical values, as these will be used to automatically generate a Miles column. Use km2 if the location is in a range of kilometres (see below)
  • road: road that the article route intersects at this junction. This should be formatted as follows:<route shield/s> <wikilinked Road Name> <ndash> <wikilinked destinations>
    • Generate route shields using {{AUshield}}
    • If there are multiple roads (i.e. intersecting road changes name at this intersection), use a slash (/) to separate roads
    • Generate an ndash (–) and wikilinked destinations using {{ACTcity}}
    • If destinations are to be entered manually, an ndash can be generated by the HTML character code &ndash;
  • notes: any notes regarding that junction. This must include an explanation for any usage of the type-generated shading.

Additional Parameters[edit]

In addition to those in the basic syntax, the following parameters may be used:

  • location_special: (replaces location) the location where the junction is located - use for custom entries only, such as when an intersection is in multiple suburbs. Requires full wiki markup.
  • km2: use as the second measurement (km being the first) if an there are intersections with a road spread out between two points along the article route.
  • uspan: number of rows the units spans—if value=1, omit this parameter. If set, km and km2) should be omitted from the other rows it spans.
  • rcspan: number of columns the road cell spans-if value=1, omit this parameter. Set |rcspan=2 to generate a left aligned cell that spans both the destination and notes column. Do not use for features such as a rivers and bridges - see place below. Important: if using this parameter, set |notes=none to avoid the notes cell spilling over the edge of the table.
  • nspan: number of rows the notes spans—if value=1, omit this parameter. If set, notes should be omitted from the other rows it spans.
  • place or bridge or tunnel: a feature, such as a bridge or tunnel. This will appear in a multicolumn cell (centre aligned) that spans the destinations and notes columns. Full wiki markup is required for links, otherwise the result will be plain text.
  • pspan or bspan or tspan: number of rows the above multicolumn cell spans-if value=1, omit this parameter.

Any parameter which is empty can be omitted.
