The two date parameters open_month_day
and open_year
have been deprecated by the open_date
parameter. open_date
provides much more flexibility and is not substantially more difficult to use and understand than the two previous parameters. The infobox has been coded so that infoboxes still using the deprecated parameters will not be broken; however, in the future please use open_date
rather than open_month_day
and open_year
. Keep in mind that open_date
requires that links be inserted manually using double brackets; it will not automatically link the month/day and year as the deprecated parameters did.

I was thinking about adding a link to the station's page on [nycsubway.org], since every station on the subway has a station there. I'm bad with template syntax so I wondered if anyone could help me with it. Thanks! Geoking66 01:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I propose moving the accessibility icon to the "Other" section. Are there any objections? Tinlinkin 07:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
I propose that we use the Image:International Symbol of Access.svg icon to replace the current icon in the infobox. The reason I propose this is because there are no such thing as free replacements for the ISA icon. I have read this from a fairly verbose discussion at a section of the village pump, and it truly makes no sense to use a symbol that hardly anyone will recognize in the public, therefore, using the symbol that does, as there is a lot of subway and bus vehicles and stations that use the decal. Any thoughts? -- Imdanumber1 ( talk • contribs) 22:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I have added the "cross_platform" parameter ("Cross-platform wheelchair access available") based on the recent format of the V. See Forest Hills–71st Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line) for usage and appearance. I don't want to be the one to add this to all necessary stations. And I am not completely sure if this is even necessary. Tinlinkin 07:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I've recently found a link that contains ridership figures for every station including 2006. Is there a way that we can incorporate the same style of Infobox Station's passenger information row and put it in this template? I'm pretty bad with template syntax.

How can we made this template usable for the Staten Island Railway stations? Can you give me an example put putting the template on one of the stations. The Legendary Ranger ( talk) 22:34, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I have been working on an overhaul of this template. This overhaul will make the template more readable and more manageable.
I have added some more parameters to expand the infobox, many from {{ Infobox Station}}, including:
I'd say the template is more than 75% complete, but I'll do more testing through the week. Comments, improvements, other stations to test, and questions are always welcome. -- Tinlinkin ( talk) 02:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I'll go ahead and post the revised infobox. In the coming days I will visit all the station articles to update the parameters. -- Tinlinkin ( talk) 03:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes, the template should definitely be simplified and shortened. If you'll look at, for example, Canal Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line), you'll see that a large part of the infobox is a list of symbols which apply to some stations but not to this one or most. The reader who sees the crescent or black dot symbol must use this list of mostly irrelevant symbols to find the words that explain it. Omitting the symbols and simply putting the words in their place would make the box easier to read for almost all stations. Only complex stations should use the complex version, if some are so complex that they need it. Jim.henderson ( talk) 14:15, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
I haven't forgotten about the station service legend. I have yet to make a decision about combining the templates in Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/New York City Subway/Services and lines, which will affect the service legend. Tinlinkin ( talk) 05:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I have added color boxes to the services for consistency with Template:Rail color box (although I did not implement that template here because of conflicts with styling). I did not add color boxes for the station succession or the transfers as they would look ugly in the current format. What do you think?
Now that there are color boxes in the services, I think the background header colors should be black for all infoboxes. Are there any issues with that? Tinlinkin ( talk) 03:31, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
It may be just me, but I do not see why connecting MTA services should not be in the template. If someone else knows how to add it, please do. Thanks. -- AEMoreira042281 ( talk) 03:20, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
My knowledge is not enough, so I don't want to edit this template myself, but I want to make some improvements:
1. Replace
| data11 = {{{structure|}}}
with
| data11 = {{ #switch: {{{structure|}}} | Open-cut = [[Cut (earthmoving)|Open-cut]] | Elevated = [[Elevated railway|Elevated]] | Embankment = [[Embankment (transportation)|Embankment]] | Shallow column = [[Shallow column station|Shallow column]] | Single-vault = [[Single-vault station|Single-vault]] | #default = {{{structure|}}} }}
2. Add a support for a new parameter called 'note'. I want to use it here and here to say:
| note = The MTA defines this platform set as two separate stations
Is there anybody going to perform this work? Thanks in advance. Vcohen ( talk) 15:30, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
3 & 4. Two new parameters called 'layout' and 'map', similar to the 'image' parameter. I am preparing some graphic files to show station layouts (tracks and platforms) and their locations relative to the whole system, and I want them at the bottom of the infobox. Vcohen ( talk) 07:39, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Per a discussion at WT:NYCS, I recently moved the SAS station articles to (Second Avenue Subway) disambiguators and changed the line name to the same in the infoboxes. Does someone know how to change this template to still display the correct line color? The affected articles are listed at that discussion. Thanks!

Limited rush hour trip lines are displayed as "selected rush-hour trips." However, the syntax of "selected" doesn't really apply to trips - perhaps it would be better to change "selected" to "select" or "limited". Mtattrain ( talk)
The recent change added a large number of articles to Category:Pages with script errors:
I guess they are missing map data or coords, and the template should check for this – or it could even supply its own map as they are all in New York. -- JohnBlackburne words deeds 15:04, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
I just undid the changes to the template again as it was adding pages to the error category by the second – I could refresh the category to see more. epicgenius you can use the sandbox for testing. Add the template from one of the above pages to the testcases page to see if a change works without errors, before adding it to a template used on thousands of pages.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 00:14, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: Is there any way to edit this so we can input updated subway ridership for all the stations here so we do not have to edit every single subway article, similar to what you did with OMNY? Thanks.-- Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 14:00, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
So basically documenting this here. I compiled this template for reference then used Vlookup to find ridership, percent, and rank. I then added a couple new columns in Excel (a | symbol on the left of the page name and a = symbol on the right), and moved the relevant column to just right of the = sign. I copied the relevant columns and pasted the raw data between the first and last lines of {{ Infobox New York City Subway station/ridership}}, {{ Infobox New York City Subway station/ridership/rank}}, and {{ Infobox New York City Subway station/ridership/percent}}, and removed all tab characters. epicgenius ( talk) 21:53, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Kew Gardens 613: @ Epicgenius: I added a new parameter for former railroads (LIRR, NYW&B, NYCR) that can be filled by Adjacent stations, as demonstrated on Far Rockaway–Mott Avenue station. Cards 84664 20:41, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: If we are invoking all ridership data from a template bank, it needs to appear in the infobox by default. Can someone fix this so we can remove all manual invocations on the articles themselves? Cards 84664 00:43, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
I added some tracking for unsupported parameters in
Category:Pages using infobox New York City Subway station with unknown parameters and the subcategories. The most common are |bg_color=
, |font_color=
, |bg_color2=
, |font_color2=
, |pass_year=
, |lat_dir=
, |lon_dir=
, |wifi=
, and |wifi_custom_ref=
. the |lat_dir=
and |lon_dir=
were left over after the conversion to |coordinates=
. should any of these be kept? should we task a bot to remove all of these?

Should we add line to where the nearest bike paths are to each subway station… whether it would be trails or pedestrian paths on major bridges?
Example:
Delancey Street/Essex Street station and
Marcy Avenue station both would have bike=
Williamsburg Bridge
Or should we just place that under “connection” Mfs1013 ( talk) 19:49, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
