That "95" in every article is very confusing. How about replacing it with a blank shield in the template? 68.81.231.127 07:59, 20 December 2004 (UTC)
I added Interstate 22 since it's on track for completion in 2006. I don't know what the feelings are about including interstates that are incomplete, however. -- Cleduc 06:10, 10 January 2005 (UTC)
Added H-201 to the unsigned portion of the template. Snickerdo 03:58, 7 April 2005 (UTC)
When I checked this page from my watchlist I noticed that "A1A" was added to the bottom of the template. Since this is the second nonsense edit that has been added (see I-192 above) I sent a {{subst:test-n|Template:Interstates}} to the user, User:67.78.15.138. (It is an IP address as well. ) -- Rschen7754 16:43, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
I just reformatted this template to make it properly toccolours-compliant [1]. User:SPUI reverted my edit with the comment "rv to centered version", referring to the cell contents being centered (which only shows up in a handful of browsers) [2].
Most tables and templates in Wikipedia don't have their contents centered, but it wouldn't be too difficult to add that back in to this one. After a brief conversation on his Talk: page, I suggested I bring it here, to gain consensus either way. Opinions anyone? — OwenBlacker 21:40, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Is there an Interstate 192? Is it primary? That's what this template said until I reverted it... an IP address did the change. -- Rschen7754
Noticed a few broken links within the Hawaii interstates. H-3 and 201 were not taking me to those pages. Corrected those links (one of the brackets was missing from the H3 link) and not sure what was up with 201 but it works now). Also the alignment seemed to be off. Some of the E/W interstates had (for example): 84E and others had 84(W). Don't know how it was intended to look, but to save space and make it more linear, I removed the parentheses. -wilicali00 PS, I just realized I probably should have brought this up before making any adjustments. I apologize if I caused any problems.
In my opinion, I-238 does not belong in the list of "primary" Interstates. It functions as an I-x80, not as a 2di, even if it couldn't be numbered as such. Certainly not a "primary" route and never will be. CrazyC83 00:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
The idea is that all others are reachable by going to the 2DI pages, which link to 3DIs. No 2DI page links to 238 in the way that others link to their children. -- SPUI ( talk) 03:23, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I looked for a while to try to figure out what the pink background meant.
A legend would just make it bigger. It should be pretty obvious that the pink ones end in 0 and 5, and the Interstate Highway System article explains that those are the most major ones. -- SPUI ( talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 02:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
There is an apparent disagreement on the definition of the primary interstate highways per the prior section on this page. The template appears to highlight the primary interstates with a pink background. There are two methods of determining primary interstates:

I don't like either. The left one links to disambiguation pages, and the right one is rather wide, as well as not clearly indicating where to click for the western routes (it took me about 15 seconds to realize it wasn't saying 83W 84E 85W 86E). -- NE2 10:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I tried to address the W/E problem in this revision. The wideness issue isn't likely to go away any time soon; it's a limitation of the numeric grid. I don't believe it's excessively wide, however. æ ² ✆ 2006‑12‑09t17:35z
I noticed that the unsigned Puerto Rican interstate highways are labeled "PRI-1," "PRI-2," and "PRI-3" on the template. However, in their articles, they seem to be referred to more often as "PR-1," "PR-2," and "PR-3." The sign graphics also don't contain the letter "I" (though I don't know how accurate those are considering that these are supposedly unsigned roads). I don't know enough about the issue to say which way is correct, but a consistent labeling would be nice to have. Could someone with some Interstate expertise look into this? Etphonehome 18:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
I do not feel that I-45 is not a "main" interstate. Its only purpose is to connect Dallas and Houston, TX, and it is no more significant than other limited-purpose interstates.
As a case in point, I-44 is a much longer interstate that connects more cities and passes through more states. Despite this, I-44 is not designated as a "main" interstate.
"Main" interstates should be designated as such because of factors including, but not limited to, their length and routing. Let's not get hung up on numbering, which is an artifical designation.
Novasource 23:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I-45 is certainly one of the major Interstates. We should color them as defined by the nunmbering system, not some arbitrary length criterion. AASHTO could have easily chosen several other numbers for I-45, but they didn't, because they felt it was long enough to be a major one. Though I do wonder if it would have been I-35E if the D/FW split hadn't been included. -- SPUI ( talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 02:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure why length is the only criteria for whether an interstate is major or not. I-45 directly connects the 4th and 6th largest metro areas in the U.S. I-37 connects the 3rd and 7th largest metro areas in the state (29th and 114th overall). I-45 also carries a lot more traffic than either I-37 or I-44. -- Holderca1 13:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I organized the lists and categorized them into three rows. I think it looks much more spiffy that way, and someone can possibly compress the template a little in width. I don't know about you all, but I'm thinking that the template is a little too wide. Artisol2345 (not Aristotle) [ talk to me or follow me] 23:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
The addition of "Lists" made it too wide; I fixed it. -- NE2 10:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Having read down through this page, I can understand why "major in pink" was changed to "multiples of 5 in pink". I had come here to ask why, because it looks really stupid. Perhaps a better solution would be to subsection the Interstate Highway System#Primary routes section, with one sub-subsection called, say, "Major arteries" containing the (existing, cited) sentence "Numbers divisible by 5 are intended to be major arteries among the primary routes, carrying traffic long distances." Then " major in pink" could be restored to the template, with a link to that sub-subsection to forestall arguments like those above. jnestorius( talk) 00:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Is the number of columns and rows in the grid significant? Sorry for any ignorance. Sardanaphalus ( talk) 04:55, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I propose a new version of the template.
Each of the alternatives I have created below accomplishes the following:
Template 1 is my preferred version, due to its similar format to my US Routes template.
The differences in each template are discussed below.

Yes, I accidentally saved it as this, before I came to my senses and realized I should discuss such a large change. What I did was I aligned numbers to 20 per row, put blanks for non-existing Interstates so that the numbers line up, and linked to disambig pages for the divided east-west Interstates (76, 84, etc) for the sake of the template being cleaner. If anyone knows how to center the title or has any other improvements, please leave comments. Thanks. -- Angelsfreeek ( talk) 04:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Is there a template that will show all of the "3dis" (3-digit Interstate Highways)? Allen ( talk) 22:25, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
I recently (maybe a month ago) added Interstate 66 (west) (as per I-76 E&W, I-84 E&W, etc) to the template, however, it was removed for no apparent reason, save for the comment "nope" on the edit summary. My guess was that it was because parts of the route are still being built (though portions of it are apparently signed). However, I noticed that I-22 is on the template, and that has not even been signed yet, let alone finished. Why the discrepancy?-- L1A1 FAL ( talk) 23:27, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Here's a way we could include all the Interstates on the same template:
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse
, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a
navbox, sidebar, or
table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=
parameter may be used:
{{Interstates|state=collapsed}}
will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Interstates|state=expanded}}
will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Because Interstate 45 is so short, I strongly disagree with highlighting it. It makes no real sense to call it a "major Interstate". Georgia guy ( talk) 01:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
I have restored the "major" interstates on this template. This is the legal definition. "Multiples of 5" seems to look stupid IMO. By AASHTO definition, all interstates that are a multiple of 5 are considered major, regardless of length. For example, I-85 is shorter than I-25, but I-85 is more major as it is buisier and passes through more major cities than I-25. ANDROS1337 18:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't I-94 be highlighted as a major highway. Chicago (main highway, loop 294), Minneapolis and St. Paul (main highway, loop 494, spurs 394 & 694), Milwaukee (main highway, spur 794), Detroit and Madison (main highway concurrent with 90 but no different than when 40 run into all those other major highways).

Comments on either? æ ² ✆ 2006‑12‑08t06:14z
I don't like either. The left one links to disambiguation pages, and the right one is rather wide, as well as not clearly indicating where to click for the western routes (it took me about 15 seconds to realize it wasn't saying 83W 84E 85W 86E). -- NE2 10:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I tried to address the W/E problem in this revision. The wideness issue isn't likely to go away any time soon; it's a limitation of the numeric grid. I don't believe it's excessively wide, however. æ ² ✆ 2006‑12‑09t17:35z
I noticed that the unsigned Puerto Rican interstate highways are labeled "PRI-1," "PRI-2," and "PRI-3" on the template. However, in their articles, they seem to be referred to more often as "PR-1," "PR-2," and "PR-3." The sign graphics also don't contain the letter "I" (though I don't know how accurate those are considering that these are supposedly unsigned roads). I don't know enough about the issue to say which way is correct, but a consistent labeling would be nice to have. Could someone with some Interstate expertise look into this?

I do not feel that I-45 is not a "main" interstate. Its only purpose is to connect Dallas and Houston, TX, and it is no more significant than other limited-purpose interstates.
As a case in point, I-44 is a much longer interstate that connects more cities and passes through more states. Despite this, I-44 is not designated as a "main" interstate.
"Main" interstates should be designated as such because of factors including, but not limited to, their length and routing. Let's not get hung up on numbering, which is an artifical designation.
Novasource 23:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I-45 is certainly one of the major Interstates. We should color them as defined by the nunmbering system, not some arbitrary length criterion. AASHTO could have easily chosen several other numbers for I-45, but they didn't, because they felt it was long enough to be a major one. Though I do wonder if it would have been I-35E if the D/FW split hadn't been included. -- SPUI ( talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 02:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure why length is the only criteria for whether an interstate is major or not. I-45 directly connects the 4th and 6th largest metro areas in the U.S. I-37 connects the 3rd and 7th largest metro areas in the state (29th and 114th overall). I-45 also carries a lot more traffic than either I-37 or I-44. -- Holderca1 13:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I organized the lists and categorized them into three rows. I think it looks much more spiffy that way, and someone can possibly compress the template a little in width. I don't know about you all, but I'm thinking that the template is a little too wide. Artisol2345 (not Aristotle) [ talk to me or follow me] 23:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
The addition of "Lists" made it too wide; I fixed it. -- NE2 10:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Having read down through this page, I can understand why "major in pink" was changed to "multiples of 5 in pink". I had come here to ask why, because it looks really stupid. Perhaps a better solution would be to subsection the Interstate Highway System#Primary routes section, with one sub-subsection called, say, "Major arteries" containing the (existing, cited) sentence "Numbers divisible by 5 are intended to be major arteries among the primary routes, carrying traffic long distances." Then " major in pink" could be restored to the template, with a link to that sub-subsection to forestall arguments like those above. jnestorius( talk) 00:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Is the number of columns and rows in the grid significant? Sorry for any ignorance. Sardanaphalus ( talk) 04:55, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I propose a new version of the template.
Each of the alternatives I have created below accomplishes the following:
Template 1 is my preferred version, due to its similar format to my US Routes template.
The differences in each template are discussed below.

Yes, I accidentally saved it as this, before I came to my senses and realized I should discuss such a large change. What I did was I aligned numbers to 20 per row, put blanks for non-existing Interstates so that the numbers line up, and linked to disambig pages for the divided east-west Interstates (76, 84, etc) for the sake of the template being cleaner. If anyone knows how to center the title or has any other improvements, please leave comments. Thanks. -- Angelsfreeek ( talk) 04:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Okay, that's one for, one against. Anyone else want to voice their opinion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angelsfreeek ( talk • contribs) 07:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
If there was a change to be made, I'd prefer "Alternative 1" in the section above. -- Son ( talk) 14:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Is there a template that will show all of the "3dis" (3-digit Interstate Highways)? Allen ( talk) 22:25, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
I recently (maybe a month ago) added Interstate 66 (west) (as per I-76 E&W, I-84 E&W, etc) to the template, however, it was removed for no apparent reason, save for the comment "nope" on the edit summary. My guess was that it was because parts of the route are still being built (though portions of it are apparently signed). However, I noticed that I-22 is on the template, and that has not even been signed yet, let alone finished. Why the discrepancy?-- L1A1 FAL ( talk) 23:27, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Here's a way we could include all the Interstates on the same template:
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse
, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a
navbox, sidebar, or
table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=
parameter may be used:
{{Interstates|state=collapsed}}
will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Interstates|state=expanded}}
will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Because Interstate 45 is so short, I strongly disagree with highlighting it. It makes no real sense to call it a "major Interstate". Georgia guy ( talk) 01:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
I have restored the "major" interstates on this template. This is the legal definition. "Multiples of 5" seems to look stupid IMO. By AASHTO definition, all interstates that are a multiple of 5 are considered major, regardless of length. For example, I-85 is shorter than I-25, but I-85 is more major as it is buisier and passes through more major cities than I-25. ANDROS1337 18:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't I-94 be highlighted as a major highway. Chicago (main highway, loop 294), Minneapolis and St. Paul (main highway, loop 494, spurs 394 & 694), Milwaukee (main highway, spur 794), Detroit and Madison (main highway concurrent with 90 but no different than when 40 run into all those other major highways).
