Route Markers
A department of WikiProject Highways

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/Navigation}}

The Route Markers Department for WikiProject Highways creates and maintains route marker (a.k.a shield) graphics for use on road-transportation-related articles. The department is responsible for ensuring that shields are created as prototypical as possible. All editors are welcome to contribute and make requests as long as they do their best to ensure that the shield stays true to the original and others in the series in regards to spacing, colouration and its other attributes. Wherever possible, shields should be added to articles using the {{jct}} template (or {{AUshield}} for Australia). Note that U.S. markers are covered by the USRD Shields Department, this page covers the rest of the world.

Guidelines Existing route marker templates can be found at the /Templates subpage or at Commons. Consider using the templates to make the desired route markers yourself. Instructions for using the templates are given on that page. Country-specific resources and information can be listed on the /Resources subpage. Please ensure your request is truly necessary, in that the route markers will be used in at least one article. Australian route markers must be uploaded locally. The current understanding is that they meet the very low threshold of originality in Australia and are eligible for copyright in Australia.

Requesting shields Click on the "new section" tab atop the page next to the "edit this page" link. Fill in the fields as follows: Subject/headline: A description of your request; this is typically the name of the road(s) that you are requesting a shield for. Edit box: List the shields that you are requesting and include a wikilink to the main article for each shield. A link Interstate 10 would be provided when requesting File:I-10.svg. If it is not clear what the file is supposed to look like, please attach a picture of what the file should look like. Example Don't forget to sign at the end! Click "Save page".

Completing a request To accept a request, please do so by typing '''Accepted''' in your response to the request. To decline a request, mark the request with {{Not done}} and explain why the files were not made. Unless they are non-free files, upload all files to Commons. Mark completed requests with {{Done}}. If a request is resolved and {{Done}} or {{Not done}} are not applicable, mark it with {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Marked requests will be archived automatically.
