Template:Maryland SRC report/doc

Maryland SRC report is a template that simplifies and better organizes reference calls to the reports of the Maryland State Roads Commission, the predecessor of the Maryland State Highway Administration. These reports serve as a major resource for articles about portions of the Maryland highway system. These reports were produced quadrennially, then biennially, for the period from the formation of the commission in 1908 to its 50th anniversary in 1958. For more information about the reports, please see the report database at the Maryland task force of WikiProject U.S. Roads.

Usage

This template has one required parameter:

• year: a four-digit year between 1908 and 1958. Use the final year of a particular report. For instance, use 1915 for the report that covers 1912 to 1915 and 1938 for the report that covers 1937 and 1938.

There are several optional parameters:

• page: page number referenced in the report.
• pages: same as page, but takes multiple pages. There is no prohibition on using both page parameters, but the output will be messy.
• link: set to yes to link Maryland State Roads Commission.
• accessdate: date the report was accessed. Date may be in any format.
