Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. I'd also like to see it sandboxed to make sure it works as intended. Primefac (talk) 21:20, 31 October 2019 (UTC)|[reply]

@Primefac: Where would I be able to sandbox this, just out of curiosity? I can't find the sandbox page for this specific area of the template.

@Primefac: I understand what MatthewAnderson707 is trying to do, but it's not going to work. The |route-segment= and |loop-number= parameters aren't going to work without being passed through from the main template. –Fredddie ™ 03:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fredddie: That's a shame. Is there any way I could make it work?— MatthewAnderson707 (talk|sandbox) 04:58, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your best bet is to let it be generic and then use |name= for the outliers. –Fredddie ™ 05:51, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fredddie: Right. I modified my change request to remove the errored entries. Will the draft as shown above work?— MatthewAnderson707 (talk|sandbox) 06:22, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MatthewAnderson707, could you implement it in the sandbox? It would be a lot easier to evaluate then. --Trialpears (talk) 12:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Trialpears: Absolutely. Can you please point me in the direction of the sandbox?

MatthewAnderson707, at Template:Infobox road/name/USA/sandbox. While it hasn't been created yet it's common practice to create it whenever you need to test something. Since this is a subtemplate you may need to update Template:Infobox road/sandbox to use your sandbox version, but I think it's taken care of in this case. Finally add a testcase at Template:Infobox_road/testcases/USA where your changes are used and check so it doesn't break any of the other testcases. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 17:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trialpears I got my coding refined to something I believe will work. The only problem is I can't get the subtype parameter to work in the sandbox templates at all. Can you help please?— MatthewAnderson707 (talk|sandbox) 21:39, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MatthewAnderson707, very sorry I didn't look at this more quickly. It seems like it has all been implemented now, correct? If not I will make sure to help you more quickly this time. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 11:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Trialpears: It's fine. Thanks for helping me through this as much as you did. I was able to solve the sandbox issue. It works just fine now. Fredddie was able to implement most of the changes I made that were worth implementing. The testcases for the most part came through just fine.— MatthewAnderson707 (talk|sandbox) 23:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Business Loop and Business Spur Additions/Modifications[edit]

This is a modified part of an earlier request to work with only existing template parameters. I'm leaving New Mexico out of this because that would require extra additions/modifications to the main template.

Currently the BL/BS section looks like this:

|BL|BL 1957={{#switch:{{{state|}}}
 |IA=Interstate {{{route}}} Business Loop
 |MI={{#switch: {{{route}}}
  |496= Capitol Loop
  |#default=Business Loop Interstate {{{route}}}
  }}
 |#default=Interstate {{{route}}} business
 }}
|BS|BS 1957={{#switch:{{{state|}}}
 |MI=Business Spur Interstate {{{route}}}
 |#default=Interstate {{{route}}} Business
 }}

I would like to request the following additions:

|BL|BL 1957={{#switch:{{{state|}}}
 |AZ=State Business Route {{{route}}}
 |IA=Interstate {{{route}}} Business Loop
 |MI={{#switch: {{{route}}}
  |496= Capitol Loop
  |#default=Business Loop Interstate {{{route}}}
  }}
 |TX=Business Interstate {{{route}}}
 |#default=Interstate {{{route}}} Business
 }}
|BS|BS 1957={{#switch:{{{state|}}}
 |AZ=State Route {{{route}}} Spur
 |MI=Business Spur Interstate {{{route}}}
 |#default=Interstate {{{route}}} Business
 }}

Thanks.— MatthewAnderson707 (talk|sandbox) 16:09, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Arizona State Route changes/additions[edit]

I would like to request the following changes to the AZ parameter of SR section of the template from this:

 |AZ=State {{#switch:{{{route}}}|101|202|303=Loop|#default=Route}} {{{route}}} {{Infobox road/meta/mask/subtype2|{{{subtype|}}}}}

To this:

 |AZ={{#switch:{{{subtype|}}}
  |Alt=State Route {{{route}}}A
  |Loop=State Route {{{route}}}L<!--ADOT recognizes the Phoenix "Loops" and Loop subtype routes as two separate types of highway.-->
  |Temp={{#switch:{{{route}}}
   |69=State Route T-69
   |#default=State Route {{{route}}}T
   }}
  |Bus=State Business Route {{{route}}}
  |#default=State {{#switch:{{{route}}}|101|202|303=Loop|#default=Route}} {{{route}}} {{Infobox road/meta/mask/subtype2|{{{subtype|}}}}}
 }}
