Template:Archives User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis You can request missing or custom shields below. Your request will then be handled by a participant of the shields department. Instructions and guidelines are provided below. Requests will typically be handled by a member of the shields department; however, they can be completed by anyone willing to take on the request.

Guidelines Please be respectful. The editors who create shields are volunteers; give them enough time to create the requested shields while working at their own pace and leisure. If there is a large, repetitive group of graphics needed, please try to request them all at once. When a large request is fulfilled, do not immediately make another large request. Consider using pre-made templates to make the desired shields yourself. Instructions for using the templates are given on the tutorial page. It is currently the working policy of the project that county routes are generally not notable enough to receive their own articles, nor major enough to appear in most junction lists. If you are here to request county route shields, please ensure your request is truly necessary.

Requesting shields Click on the "new section" tab atop the page next to the "edit" link or click the big blue button. Template:Clickable button 2 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". You may also use the "needs-shield" parameter in the project banner on the talk page of the article that needs the shield. Just add |needs-shield=yes and the article will be added to Category:U.S. Roads project articles needing shields.

Completing a request To accept a request, type '''Accepted''' or Template:Tlx in your response to the request. To decline a request, mark the request with Template:Tlx and explain why the files were not made. Unless they are non-free files, upload all files to Commons. Mark completed requests with Template:Tlx. If a request is resolved and Template:Tlx or Template:Tlx are not applicable, mark it with Template:Tlc Marked requests will be archived automatically.

Foley Beach Express

• File:Foley Beach Express.svg

Based on the shared design here and here. It has a complex logo, so it can't be hosted on Commons. ToThAc (talk) 16:47, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Florida State Road 33A and Florida State Road 40A

User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil The article for Florida State Road 40 could use a shield for the former Florida State Road 40A to be used in the section on that route, and any other article that could use them, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Redirects/Florida/1-499. Similar requests for Florida State Road 33A in July and November 2023 have yet to be acknowledged. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 22:13, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Tulsa, Oklahoma named highways

User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil It turns out Gilcrease Expressway has its own shield as seen here, as does L.L. Tisdale Parkway here. Unlike my earlier Baldwin Beach Express request, these shields can be hosted on Commons. ToThAc (talk) 17:46, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Nebraska State SPUR 27E

User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil The article for List of Nebraska Connecting Link, Spur, and Recreation Highways could use a shield for the Nebraska State SPUR 27E (N SPUR 27E.svg), to be used in the "Spurs" section. It should look like File:N SPUR 28F.svg. Thanks for your help! - tucoxn\^talk 22:08, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
