Template:Maryland grid map/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maryland grid map is a template that simplifies and better organizes reference calls to the official state highway grid maps produced annually by the Maryland State Highway Administration. These maps serve as a major resource for articles about portions of the Maryland highway system, particularly the Route description section of Maryland highway articles.

Usage

[edit]

This template has no required parameters. However, you are strongly encouraged to use the following parameters:

  • section or sections: one or more map grid sections. Sections are reference by a letter followed by a number, such as J13. This parameter is used to provide a specific indication of what part of the map was used. Generally, this parameter should include all grid sections that include the subject of the highway article.
  • access-date: the date the grid maps were accessed

Other parameters include:

  • link: set to yes to link Maryland State Highway Administration as the publisher.
  • mode: this template uses {{cite map}} as a base, so therefore it is in the Citation Style 1 family of templates. Set this parameter to "cs2" to emulate the Citation Style 2 used by {{citation}}
  • ref: for use with shortened footnotes and templates like {{harvnb}} or {{harvp}}.
