Structure and standards

Naming convention

The various shield graphics are located in Category:Alaska highway 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

Articles should be placed in the following categories as appropriate:

• Category:State highways in Alaska for most highways
• Category:Interstate Highways in Alaska for highways that are also part of the Interstate Highway System in the state

Templates

Infobox

Use {{infobox road}} or {{infobox road junction}} as needed for articles. The state and type parameters should each contain the state's postal abbreviation.

Junction template

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=AK|AK|number}} into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use {{jct|state=AK|AK|first number|AK|second number}}. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.
