This template can be used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, etc. - in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{Infobox Country}} should be used. Available fields are described in the table below.

Usage

Please verify that adding the template does not overlay, or get overlaid by, other templates on the article. Please test your changes with several skins and several browsers, and several browser window sizes.

  • Important: Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.

Geographic information

These fields have dual automatic unit conversion meaning that if only metric values are entered, the imperial values will be automatically converted and vice versa. If an editor wishes to over-ride the automatic conversion, e.g. if the source gives both metric and imperial or if a range of values is needed, they should enter both values in their respective fields.
Field Name Usage Description
unit_pref optional To change the unit order to imperial (metric), enter imperial. The default display style is metric (imperial). However, the template will swap the order automatically if the subdivision_name equals some variation of the USA or the UK.
For the middle east, a unit preference of dunam can be entered (only affects total area).
All values must be entered in a raw format: no commas, spaces, or unit symbols. The template will format them automatically.
area_footnotes optional If reference(s) are available, this is where to put them, possibly using a citing format such as {{Cite web}}, within <ref> </ref> tags.
area_magnitude optional Area magnitude of total_area in terms of m². Should enter 1 E+6 for area of 1.0 km². See 1 E+6 m²
area_total_dunam optional Total area in dunams, which is wiki-linked. Used in middle eastern places like Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. Value must be entered in raw format, no commas or spaces. Auto-converted to display square kilometers and square miles if area_total_km2 and area_total_sq_mi are empty. Examples: Gaza and Ramallah
area_total_km2 optional Total area in square kilometers—symbol: km², which is wiki-linked. Value must be entered in raw format, no commas or spaces. Auto-converted to display square miles if area_total_sq_mi is empty.
Deprecated name =area_total
area_land_km2 optional Land area in square kilometers—symbol: km². Value must be entered in raw format, no comms or spaces. Auto-converted to display square miles if area_land_sq_mi is empty.
Deprecated name =area_land
area_water_km2 optional Water area in square kilometers—symbol: km². Value must be entered in raw format, no comms or spaces. Auto-converted to display square miles if area_water_sq_mi is empty.
Deprecated name =area_water
area_total_sq_mi optional Total area in square miles—symbol: sq mi, which is wiki-linked. Value must be entered in raw format, no comms or spaces. Auto-converted to display square kilometers if area_total_km2 is empty.
Deprecated name =TotalArea_sq_mi
area_land_sq_mi optional Land area in square miles—symbol: sq mi. Value must be entered in raw format, no comms or spaces. Auto-converted to display square kilometers if area_land_km2 is empty.
Deprecated name =LandArea_sq_mi
area_water_sq_mi optional Water area in square miles—symbol: sq mi. Value must be entered in raw format, no comms or spaces. Auto-converted to display square kilometers if area_water_km2 is empty.
Deprecated name =WaterArea_sq_mi
area_water_percent optional percent of water without the "%"
area_urban_km2 optional Deprecated name =area_urban
area_urban_sq_mi optional Deprecated name =UrbanArea_sq_mi
area_metro_km2 optional Deprecated name =area_metro
area_metro_sq_mi optional Deprecated name =MetroArea_sq_mi
area_blank1_title optional Example see London
area_blank1_km2 optional
area_blank1_sq_mi optional
area_blank2_title optional
area_blank2_km2 optional
area_blank2_sq_mi optional
elevation_footnotes optional If reference(s) are available, this is where to put them, possibly using a citing format such as {{Cite web}}, within <ref> </ref> tags.
elevation_m optional Raw number entered in meters. Will automatically convert to display elevation in feet if elevation_ft is empty. However, if a range in elevation (i.e. 5–50 m ) is desired, the editor must enter a converted range in the elevation_m field to over-ride the automatic conversion. use the "max" and "min" fields below
Deprecated name =elevation
elevation_ft optional Raw number, entered in feet. Will automatically convert to display the average elevation in meters if elevation_m field is empty. However, if a range in elevation (i.e. 50–500 ft ) is desired, the editor must enter a converted range in the elevation_m field to over-ride the automatic conversion. use the "max" and "min" fields below
elevation_max_m, elevation_max_ft, elevation_min_m, elevation_min_ft optional Used to give highest and/or lowest elevations, if available, instead of just a single value. Example: Halifax Regional Municipality
coor_pinpoint optional If needed, to specify more exactly where (or what) coordinates are given (e.g. Town Hall) or a specific place in a larger area (e.g. a city in a county). Example: Masovian Voivodeship Deprecated name =coor_type
coordinates_type optional If needed, to specify region, type and scale in accordance with how it is done at {{coord}}, i.e. |coordinates_type =region:GB_type:city_scale:1000. See Birmingham or Pie Town for examples.
coordinates_display optional =inline,title is used to set {{Geobox coor}} title= parameter which in turn sets {{Coord}} display=inline,title parameter, causing coordinates to display in an article's title bar upper-right corner. It is recommended that this be done for an article's "main" coordinates, usually those in the Infobox, so that they are accessible to other services like Google Earth, Google Maps, Wikipedia-World and other such services, for more information see: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Geographical_coordinates, {{Coord/doc}}, and About the Google Earth Geographic Web Layer. If a "competing" template also has coordinates in the title bar and cannot be "turned off", then either the inline,title parameter value can be omitted or coordinates_display= parameter field can be omitted to "turn it off".
latd optional Latitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees.
latm optional Latitude minutes
lats optional Latitude seconds
latNS optional Latitude North or South (enter N or S).
longd optional Longitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees.
longm optional Longitude minutes
longs optional Longitude seconds
longEW optional Longitude East or West (enter E or W).

Population information

The density fields have dual automatic unit conversion meaning that if only metric values are entered, the imperial values will be automatically converted and vice-versa. If an editor wishes to over-ride the automatic conversion, e.g. if the source gives both metric and imperial or if a range of values is needed, they can enter both values in their respective fields. To calculate density automatically, type auto in place of any density value.

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}}.


hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • category
  • county-name
  • extended-address
  • fn
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • region
  • street-address
  • vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • geo
  • latitude
  • longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
