Usage

The {{WikiProject Trains}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Trains
| class               =
| importance          =
| listas              =
| portaldykdate       =

| portalSIweek        =
| needs-infobox       =
| unref               =

| mapdetails          =
| imageneeded         =
| imagedetails        =

| Thomas              =
| Thomas-importance   = 
| DE                  =
| DE-importance       =
| maint               =
| bycountry           =
| images              =
| locos               =
| maps                =
| monorail            =
| operations          =

| timelines           =
| portal              =
| model               =
}}

It is important that the capitalisation shown above be used. For example, using |Streetcars=yes by mistake for |streetcars=yes will fail to place the article within WikiProject Streetcars; similarly, using |underground=yes instead of |Underground=yes will not add the article to WikiProject London Transport.
