Welcome to the Maine State Routes Task Force of WikiProject U.S. Roads!

Scope and goals

[edit]

All state-maintained highways in Maine, including all Interstate Highways, U.S. Highways and Maine state-numbered routes, and any other road-related transportation articles of note. The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on highways in Maine to be a broad, comprehensive, and recognized resource.

Structure and standards

[edit]

Articles should follow WP:USRD/STDS.

Naming convention

[edit]

Articles should be titled "Maine State route X" per WP:USSH.

Shields

[edit]

The various shield graphics are located in Category:Massachusetts Route shields on Commons. {{jct}} can create the various links to highway articles with the appropriate shield graphics for use in the infobox or junction lists.

Categories

[edit]

Articles should be placed in the following categories as appropriate:

Templates

[edit]

Infobox

[edit]

Use {{infobox road}} or {{infobox road junction}} as needed for articles. The state parameters should contain the state's postal abbreviation. The type codes are the same as for the junction template below.

Junction template

[edit]

Use {{jct}} to create the entries in a junction list section for the article, or the junction list in the infobox. To use, insert {{jct|state=ME|type|number}} into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use {{jct|state=ME|type|first number|type|second number}}. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or ME for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.

Stub

[edit]

Use {{Maine-road-stub}}
