Welcome to the Georgia State Routes Task Force of WikiProject U.S. Roads! Please feel free to contribute on how to improve articles in the talk page above.

Scope and goals

This task force aims primarily to encourage participation in creating or expanding articles about state highways in Georgia, also known as State Routes (note the capitals). This task force also aims to establish standards relating to the display of information in these articles. The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on highways in Georgia to be a broad, comprehensive, and recognized resource.

The following highways can have entire articles dedicated to them:

Routes that are constructed, traversable, state-maintained, and signed with their own route numbers.
Routes that are partly constructed or partly signed.
Deleted routes with significant information worthy of an article.
Interstates that run entirely in Georgia (mostly spur and loop routes). Ideally, these should also be part of this WikiProject.
Georgia specific Interstate articles. For example: Interstate 75 in Georgia

The following are task force goals:

Write articles
Write good articles
Write featured articles
Make redirects listed on /Completion list

Recognized content

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Georgia (U.S. state) road transport articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.

Structure and standards

Articles should follow WP:USRD/STDS.

Naming convention

Articles are located at Georgia State Route XXX; if not, they need to be moved there.

Note: In all uses of the phrase "State Route", capitals are to be used. This includes stubs and categories and templates and lists.

Shields

The various shield graphics are located in Category:Diagrams of road signs of Georgia (U.S. state) on Commons. {{jct}} can create the various links to highway articles with the appropriate shield graphics for use in the infobox or junction lists.

Templates

Infobox

Use {{infobox road}} or {{infobox road junction}} as needed for articles. The state parameters should contain the state's postal abbreviation. The type codes are the same as for the junction template below.

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=GA|type|number}} into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use {{jct|state=GA|type|first number|type|second number}}. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or GA for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.

Stub

Use {{GeorgiaUS-road-stub}}

This U.S. state of Georgia road or road transport-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
