[[(({1))} railway halt|(({1))} Halt]]

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

Usage[edit]

This template expands a name to link to the appropriate railway station article, without displaying "railway" or "railway station".

For example:

((rht|Aviation Academy)) expands to [[Aviation Academy railway halt|Aviation Academy Halt]];

((rht|Watford Stadium)) expands to [[Watford Stadium Halt railway station|Watford Stadium Halt]].

Note:

This template will correctly handle both of the standard naming forms of station halts:

Xxx Halt railway station
Xxx railway halt

Discretion should be used on whether to name the place itself or the station that serves it. In railway articles it is generally preferred to use the station unless specifically talking about the place, for example that Sanam Chandra Palace Halt serves the Sanam Chandra Palace.

For new systems and systems in need of maintenance, use the newer ((Station link)) (abbreviated ((stl)) or ((slk))) instead, which uses the faster and less maintenance-intensive Module:Adjacent stations.
