Template:Primary Destination

Documentation: Primary Destination

The Infobox is the big template down the right hand side of every single page on the Wiki, other than those that relate to a road. This template calls the main {{Infobox}}, and passes parameters to it that are relevant to Primary Destinations (in the UK) or Terminal and Intermediate Destinations (in the Republic of Ireland). It also places the page within the correct regional categories. If a place is not in one of those official categories, then do not use this template - use {{Place}} instead.

Do not edit this template unnecessarily as it is included in every Primary Destination or Terminal Destination page. This causes issues regarding the Job Queue, after an update it takes hundreds of page views to clear the job queue. If edited twice, that number doubles (etc..) Smaller updates to other templates then need to wait for the job queue to clear before they take full effect, which can cause problems for other editors.

Test all edits on Template:Primary Destination sandbox first.
