:For the interstates divisible by five, it would probably be best to include only other 2di's. For other 2di's, I would include all 2di's and 3di's. For 3di's I would include definetely all interstates, and perhaps some other major roads. These aren't strict rules; they are just guidelines that I'm following as I begin to bring those boxes into more widespread use. | ||

The article on Transportation is currently nominated on Misplaced Pages:This week's improvement drive. Vote for Transportation there.--Fenice 09:11, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Road Infobox vs. this one
Is there any reason that Template:Routeboxint is prefferred over Template:Infobox road? --Engleman 06:33, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
- Yes there are reasons: the other state hwy WPs use this format, this one provides more info, etc. This project was originally developed to have a multi-state routebox since the CA and WA WPs want certain info in the routebox (but then the project eventually grew to what it is today). There are certain characteristics of an interstate that just aren't adequately ddressed in the road infobox template. --Rschen7754
- Thanks for the info --Engleman 17:27, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Highway abbreviations
I am trying to get the proper abbreviations on all of the highway-related articles. This may sound trivial, but such information is still considered valuable in an encyclopedia. --Ixfd64 01:11, 2005 September 1 (UTC)
Ridiculously Long Junction Boxes?
So... wait... I'm still not sure what the Legend is for... is that for the junction box/list?
If so, doesn't that mean something like Interstate 90 will end up being ridiculously long? --Rob 02:00, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
- For the interstates divisible by five, it would probably be best to include only other 2di's. For other 2di's, I would include all 2di's and 3di's. For 3di's I would include definetely all interstates, and perhaps some other major roads. These aren't strict rules; they are just guidelines that I'm following as I begin to bring those boxes into more widespread use.
- It also might be a good idea to split the legend off, making it just a link. (Many articles won't even need to use the color-coding anyway.)
- Oh, by the way, if you want to make one for I-90, but don't want to research all of the interchanges out to Boston, I can do from where you leave off in the east and do the rest to Boston.
