Usage

edit

This template expands a name to link to the appropriate Mass Rapid Transit station article, without displaying "MRT station".

The template can be abbreviated as {{mrt}} or {{mrts}} (for MRT station). It correctly handles articles named Xxx MRT station and Xxx MRT Station without any additional parameters.

For example:

{{MRT station|Kampung Selamat}} expands to [[Kampung Selamat MRT station|Kampung Selamat]].

Discretion should be used on whether to name the place itself or the station that serves it. In railway articles it is generally preferred to use the station unless specifically talking about the place, for example that Kwasa Damansara is located on Kwasa Damansara.

Most MRT station articles follow the link form of terminating with "MRT Station" or "MRT station".
