{{
AUshield}}
What would be everyones thoughts on extending the capabilities of AUshield, so as to fill out the WP:ACCESS requirements automatically.
eg:
{{AUshield|NSW|M1|name=[[Pacific Motorway]]}}
would automatically produce:
Pacific Motorway (M1)
eg:
{{AUshield|S|2|S|4|name=Foo Highway}}
would automatically produce:
Foo Highway (State Route 2 / State Route 4)
So as not to break existing code, this should only be turned on by adding the "name=
" parameter. We should also keep the existing system as a backup incase of examples where manual coding will be easier/required/desired.
Thoughts?

After a stoke of genius, or perhaps madness, I've coded a prototype in the sandbox. There are three modes:
|text=route
will automatically produce text labels for a single route only, for use in the allocation field of the infobox.
|text=infobox
will produce the labels for multiple routes small text, following the name, which is inputed using |name=
parameter.
|text=rjl
can be used for junction list tables. These are more complicated. The display is dependant on the names entered using parameters |name1=
to |name4=
for road names (with wikilinks if appropriate). Concurrencies are formed by skipping a name#
. Directions can be assigned to each named road using |ndir1=
to |ndir=
. Directions can be separately assigned to each route using |rdir1=
to |rdir4=
. Roads without shields and destinations can be tacked on at the end.
Some more work will be required for alternate/business routes also work:
File:Australian national route BUS15.svg Business National Route 15; Albany Highway (Alternate State Route 30). Additional testing would be appreciated. -

|altname1=
to |altname4=
parameters to allow for alternate road names or numbers. Some other style issues can be resolved through template usage, ie to have one line per road use separate template instances for each line (as per current situation). Let me know if there are any other style issues (but it would certainly be easier to code for a single style). And the example is now fixed, I forgot the 1

As of 2020, route numbers in NSW are no longer shown with a white border. See https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/trafficinformation/downloads/ttd_2020-01.pdf for details. While very few signs have been erected or changed to date, since the officially supported style is now borderless (matching all other states except ACT), I think the AUshield template should be updated to show NSW routes using the borderless style. (I don't actually know how to do this, so leaving this message here in the hope that someone can make this change!) Ausmeerkat ( talk) 07:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello, does anyone know how to make new route markers? On the List of Road Routes in NSW, a State Route 266 Sign is needed ( /info/en/?search=List_of_road_routes_in_New_South_Wales#Unofficial_Routes_or_QLD_State_Routes) and a M25 sign is needed ( /info/en/?search=List_of_road_routes_in_New_South_Wales#Future_Road_Routes).

The documentation could talk about where it gets the shields from and what the max number is. P.S. I find a lot of shields could almost be procedurally generated, but it doesn't matter. P.P.S. I noticed some VIC changes which were either deleted by a user who said they were non live or were placed in in raw text without the use of the template.
