== Infobox Templates ==
These guidelines apply == Station Names == Where possible or appropriate, the names of stations and other railway establishments should be standardised either (preferrably) with one of the several ''Alphabetical lists of station names'' published at various dates by the Indian Railway Conference Association (IRCA) and to be found in the India Office Records at the British Library (V/25/720/49-59) or with those place names in the [[Imperial Gazetteer of India]] (available online at [http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/ Digital South Asia Library]). If necessary, a redirect can be made to all railway infoboxesan article from an alternative name (see [[Help: Editing]]).
*Most of the fields in each infobox can be left out if desired.
*Multiple values given in a single field must be separated by commas and, where appropriate, line breaks <nowiki>(<br>)</nowiki>, as spacing them onto separate lines confuses screen reader software.
The following two Infoboxes are currently being used:
[[System Railways Infobox]]
[[Railways Line Infobox]]
Content added (a)
Welcome to the '''Fibiwiki Railways Project'''. The aim of this project is to improve the Fibiwiki content and coverage on Railways in British India. If you would like to join the project please add your name to the [[FibiwikiProject Railways/Members|list of project members]].
Many of the railway pages have been created already and are now waiting for information to be added about operations, traffic, stations, staff, apprentices, colonies, institutes, schools etc. For a list of pages aleady created go to the [[:Category:Railways]] page. == Infobox Templates ==
Please use the following Railways Infobox template when creating Railway pages. Using these templates helps us to provide a consistent appearance to the articles within our project.
* [[Railways Line Infobox]]
* [[System Railways Infobox]]
For examples of these Infoboxes and a commentary, please click [[How to interpret this infobox|here]].
==== Template Guidelines ====
These guidelines apply to all infoboxes.
# Most of the fields in each infobox can be left blank if desired.
# If adding an image, do not infringe copyright. If in doubt, don't.
# Internal and external links (eg linking a station name to a location article) can be very effective.
