Template:Station/doc

Usage
This template expands a name (first parameter) to link to the appropriate station article, without displaying "station".

The optional second parameter (any character) will capitalize the word "Station".

The optional third parameter will add disambiguating qualifier in brackets after "Station"/"station".

The optional fourth parameter (or alt) will replace the displayed station name.

The template can be abbreviated as stn (for Station).

For example:

expands to  and thus City Hall.

and  both expand to.

expands to.

and  both expand to. Note that there are only two parameters for the STN abbreviation.

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 served, for example that University serves a particular University.

Many station articles follow the link form of terminating with "station". The guideline for titling articles on stations in the United States defaults to this form.
