Template:PTV route

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

This template produces external links to route pages on Public Transport Victoria's website.

If you need to cite a bus route web page, please use {{cite PTV route}} instead.

Usage[edit]

{{PTV route|<route number>|mode=<mode of transportation>|display=<display code>|text=<custom display text>}}

route - the route number of the route you wish to link to. This parameter is required, but you can use the first positional parameter instead; {{PTV route|123}} has the same result as {{PTV route|route=123}}.
mode - the mode of transport for the route you wish to link to. Use bus to link to a bus route, or tram to link to a tram route. This parameter is optional, and if no value is supplied the template will attempt to link to a bus route by default.
display - the code for the link text you want to display. Use num or number to display the route number, or desc or description to display a short description of the route. By default, no link text is displayed.
text - Custom link text to display, if the |display= parameter is not used.

These parameters may be removed in a future version of the template.

numtext - if not empty, link text will be the number of the route (e.g.; "737"). Leave blank otherwise.
deftext - if not empty, link text will be the title of the route (e.g.; "Caroline Springs - Albion"). Leave blank otherwise.

Pages with templates using either of these parameters are put in Category:PTV route templates with deprecated parameters.
