Please help
I shall be grateful for your kindly adding the “collapse” mode (optional) to two railway route templates – Andal-Sainthia branch line and Jasidih-Dumka-Rampurhat line. The former has been used in Andal (community development block) and other pages. The latter has been used in Rampurhat I and other pages. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 16:13, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The first thing that I see is that the dash character used in the Andal article is incorrect; the regular dash (-) and the endash (–) look the same, but they are different. Using the regular dash makes it go through the redirect when the page is rendered.  Normally this isn't a problem, so it shouldn't be an issue here, but changing it to the correct dash, the endash in this case, removes one variable.
 * The second thing I see is that the code for collapse in the template is a little overcomplicated. Simplifying it to collapse is helpful.  With this code, the parameter will be passed whatever the transclusion uses for the parameter, and will be blank otherwise.  However, the collapse parameter looks for either the text   or   and does not accept just   to collapse it.
 * Hope this helps. Slambo (Speak)  16:47, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've gone through and updated all the transclusions to bypass the redirects and to correctly collapse the boxes, and where appropriate, moved the diagrams into the infoboxes. Slambo (Speak)  17:03, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
