This is a documentation subpage for Template:NYCS time 2. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 3,200 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template formats the services that operate on a New York City Subway line. It should never be used directly, but rather through line templates.

{{ NYCS time 2 |1=<subway service>|<page to link to>|<time period icon>|<description of time period>|<time period icon for express service>|<description for time period, express service>|time={{{time|}}} }}

Of these parameters, unnamed parameter, icon, text and time are required. In addition, time must have the value {{{time|}}}, as in time={{{time|}}}. This last parameter allows the template to output different styles.

• Unnamed parameter (or 1): subway service (ex. 7)
• link: What page to link to (ex. IRT Flushing Line) (if not provided, links to the service page)
• icon: What icon to show in the service time description. Use standard names. (ex. alltimes shows )
• text: description of service pattern. Should be a readable version of icon (ex. All times)
• dicon: Same as icon, but for diamond service.
• dtext: Same as text, but for diamond service.
• time: Display method. Passed through to article, use in article can be color, show, colorshow, box, full, text, nolink, or blank (nolinkatall is an additional option used in {{NYCS trains}} only).
• punct: Allows the template to be configured into a comma, serial comma, or the conjunction "and" if the |time= parameter is equal to "nolink" or is blank. The options for |punct= are , (for comma), ,and (for serial comma), and and (for conjunction), respectively. See this discussion for a detailed explanation.
