Recognized content
[edit] | This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Alabama road transport articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options. |

Structure and standards
[edit]Articles should follow WP:USRD/STDS.
Naming conventions
[edit]The following names and abbreviations should be used, as they are the forms commonly used by ALDOT; see WP:USSH for information on how to apply them.
| Official name | Article title | Abbreviation |
|---|---|---|
| State Route X | Alabama State Route X | SR-X |
| U.S. Highway X | U.S. Route X in Alabama (for consistency with other states) |
US-X |
| Interstate X | Interstate X in Alabama (for multi-state routes) |
I-X |
Shields
[edit]The various shield graphics are located in Category:Alabama State 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]All state highways should include the category tag: [[Category:State highways in Alabama|nnnA]] where nnn is a 3-digit route number, and A is the letter designation if any (e.g. SR-1A is "001A", SR-2 is "002"). Also place the article in the category for any counties and cities it passes through, with a sort key of - for example - "State Route 001A" (for SR-1A), "U.S. Highway 80-2" (for US-280), or "Interstate 59-4" (for I-459). Use Category:Interstate Highways in Alabama for highways that are also part of the Interstate Highway System in the state and Category:U.S. Highways in Alabama for highways that are also part of the U.S. Highway System in the state.
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=AL|type|number}} into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use {{jct|state=AL|type|first number|type|second number}}. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or AL for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.
