Parameters

This template has a number of parameters, all of which are optional:

  • name – The article title, e.g. 4-4-0 (The most commonly used name of the wheel arrangement, in brackets)
  • image - Wheel arrangement schematic
  • alt - Alternative text for the image, displayed when the image cannot be shown (such as for visually impaired users, or for spoken articles)
  • caption - Front of locomotive at left (only if non-symmetrical)
  • image2 - Loco picture, if possible preferably the first one to use this wheel arrangement
  • alt2 - Alternative text for the image
  • caption2 - Loco picture description

Equivalent classifications

  • hatnote - A label-less centered text field for notices
  • UIC/Germany/Italy – Alternative UIC, German or Italian classification
  • French/Spanish - Alternative French or Spanish classification
  • Turkish - Alternative Turkish classification
  • Swiss - Alternative Swiss classification
  • Russian - Alternative Russian classification

First tank engine version

  • date - Year introduced
  • country – Country first used in
  • locomotive – First locomotive with this wheel arrangement
  • railway – First railway to use this wheel arrangement
  • designer – Designer who introduced this wheel arrangement
  • builder – Builder of the first locomotive with this wheel arrangement
  • evolvedfrom - The wheel arrangement(s) from which it evolved
  • evolvedto - The wheel arrangement(s) which evolved from it
  • mainbenefit – For example wider firebox, reduced axle load, stability etc
  • maindrawback – For example narrow firebox, instability at speed, etc

First tender engine version

  • date2 - Year introduced
  • country2 – Country first used in
  • locomotive2 – First locomotive with this wheel arrangement
  • railway2 – First railway to use this wheel arrangement
  • designer2 – Designer who introduced this wheel arrangement
  • builder2 – Builder of the first locomotive with this wheel arrangement
  • evolvedfrom2 - The wheel arrangement(s) from which it evolved
  • evolvedto2 - The wheel arrangement(s) which evolved from it
  • mainbenefit2 – For example wider firebox, reduced axle load, stability etc
  • maindrawback2 – For example narrow firebox, instability at speed, etc

First "True type" version (Use for locomotives where the full potential deriving from the wheel arrangement was first used. See 4-8-2 for an example)

  • date3 - Year introduced
  • country3 – Country first used in
  • locomotive3 – First locomotive with this wheel arrangement
  • railway3 – First railway to use this wheel arrangement
  • designer3 – Designer who introduced this wheel arrangement
  • builder3 – Builder of the first locomotive with this wheel arrangement
  • evolvedfrom3 - The wheel arrangement(s) from which it evolved
  • evolvedto3 - The wheel arrangement(s) which evolved from it
  • mainbenefit3 – For example wider firebox, reduced axle load, stability etc
  • maindrawback3 – For example narrow firebox, instability at speed, etc
