Template:Jcon/doc

Jcon (Junction Ontario) is used to display information about junctions in Ontario. The template is similar to {{jct}}, but with some added Ontario-relevant functionality not available in that template. The template is designed to represent Ontario highways and numbered county and regional roads.

The template can display concurrent roads in the same system (or a different one using |contype=) with use of |con=,|con2=, etc. The template can also be used to display the shield of a road by specifying |shield=y. This can be used when a road continues as another road or when this template is used in a list of routes.

Usage

{{jcon|<type>​|<number>​|<name>​|dir=​|shield=​|sign=​|tch=​|city=​|city2=​|...​|con=​|condir=​|contype=​|con2=​|condir2=​|contype2=​|...​|to=​|todir=​|totype=​|to2=​|todir2=​|totype2=​|...​|toname=​|via=​|viadir=​|viatype=​|via2=​|viadir2=​|viatype2=​|...​|vianame=​|nosh=​|notext=​|nolink=​|ot=​|fulltext=​|namefirst=​|size=​|showred=​|picaft=}}

Parameters

Route information

• |1= - The type of the route. If the road is a provincial highway, enter Hwy or Highway. If the road is a numbered county route enter the county/region name without "Region", "County" etc. or an abbreviation. MTO signs like airport or bus are supported. All supported types are at #Supported types and new ones can be added at Module:Jcon/data.
• |2= - The number of the route or the name if |1= refers to a sign.
• |3= - The name of the road if it is different from its numbered designation.
• |dir= - If a junction only gives access to a road in a certain direction, enter that direction here, preferably as one of the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west).

Output type

• |shield= - Set to a truthy value to Set to a truthy value to generate reassurance markers () instead of junction crowns (). Use when a route continues as another route or when this template is used in a list of routes.
• |sign= - The name of an MTO sign to add to the shield output. See the signs listed at #Supported types for options.
• |tch= - Set to a truthy value to add the shield and link for the Trans-Canada Highway.

Control cities

• |city= / |town= - The name of the control city on the sign at the intersection. This is automatically wikilinked.
  • |city<i>= / |town<i>= - Additional control cities where <i> is a number starting from 2.

Concurrencies

Concurrency parameters follow the same format as the parameters listed in #Route information. When a concurrency type is not specified, the type of the first route is used.

• |con= - The number of the currency. The number entered should be higher than the one entered for |2=.
  • |con<i>= - Additional concurrencies where <i> is a number starting from 2. Concurrencies should be in ascending order.
• |condir= - The direction of the concurrency.
  • |condir<i>= - The direction of additional concurrencies where <i> is a number starting from 2.
• |contype= - The type of the concurrency, defaults to the type of the first route. Since King's Highways supersede county routes, concurrencies only exist within the same system, but contype can still be used for roads that cross country boundaries.
  • |contype<i>= - The type of the <i>th (additional) concurrency, defaults to the type of the first route.

To

To parameters follow the same format as the parameters listed in #Route information. When a type is not specified, the type of the first normal route is used.

• |to= - The number of the to route. Appears like  Highway 7 to Highway 23.
  • |to<i>= - Additional to routes/concurrencies where <i> is a number starting from 2. Routes should be in ascending order.
• |toname= - The name of the to route.
• |todir= - The direction of the to route.
  • |todir<i>= - The direction of additional to routes where <i> is a number starting from 2.
• |totype= - The type of the to route, defaults to the type of the first route.
  • |totype<i>= - The type of the <i>th (additional) to route, defaults to the type of the first route.

Via

Via parameters follow the same format as the parameters listed in #Route information. When a type is not specified, the type of the first normal route is used.

• |via= - The number of the via route. Appears like Via  Highway 401 via Highway 416. Used most commonly for 400-series highways.
  • |via<i>= - Additional via routes/concurrencies where <i> is a number starting from 2. Routes should be in ascending order.
• |vianame= - The name of the via route.
• |viadir= - The direction of the via route.
  • |viadir<i>= - The direction of additional via routes where <i> is a number starting from 2.
• |viatype= - The type of the via route, defaults to the type of the first route.
  • |viatype<i>= - The type of the <i>th (additional) via route, defaults to the type of the first route.

Appearance

• |nosh= - Set to a truthy value to not display the shield. This is useful for prose, where icons are considered intrusive and not permitted.
• |notext= - Set to a truthy value to not show the route name/only show the shield.
• |nolink= - Set to a truthy value to prevent the road name from being linked.
• |ot= - Set to a truthy value to hide the shield and remove the link, resulting in plain text.
• |fulltext= - Set to a truthy value to show the full link name.
• |namefirst= - Swap the route name and the name given by |3=, |toname=, and |vianame=. Like what {{jctname}} does for {{jct}}.
• |size= - Sets the size of the shields. On the odd occasion, a larger size may be useful or required. For example, the template can be used as the value of the |browse_route= parameter of to display a larger version of a county road sign. The default is 20px.
• |showred= - Set to a truthy value to show redlinks.
• |picaft= - Set to a truthy value to move the shields to the end of the output.
