Template:Infobox settlement

Template documentation This template should be used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, etcetera - in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{Infobox country}} should be used. Parameters are described in the table below. For questions, see the talk page. For USA city guideline, see USCITY. Usage 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. An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid. Basic blank template, ready to cut and paste. See the next section for a copy of the template with all parameters and comments. See the table below that for a full description of each parameter.

Coordinates display 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 coordinates_region optional Can be used to override the default region: for the coordinates. Use either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code. If coordinates_region is omitted or blank, region: will be set according to subdivision_name, using {{CountryAbbr}}. For example, subdivision_name = United Kingdom will generate coordinates with "region:GB". In addition, for Canada, India, and the United States, subdivision_name1 will be used to determine the region. For example: subdivision_name=Canada and subdivision_name1=Ontario will yield "region:CA-ON". coordinates_type (below) overrides this parameter. coordinates_type optional Can be used to override the default coordinate parameters for the coordinates. May include type:, scale:, dim:, region:, and/or source:, joined by underscores ("_"). If |coordinates_type= is omitted or blank: scale:, dim:, and source: will be left unspecified. region: will be set by |coordinates_region= (above), |subdivision_name= and |subdivision_name1= (below), and type: will be set to "type:city" if the population_total field is omitted or blank. If population_total is a number without commas, "type:city(population_total)" is used. But if population_total includes letters or punctuation, "type:city" is used. coordinates_display optional If the parameter is omitted, blank, or equal to inline, the coordinates will be displayed in the infobox only. Any value other than inline will have the coordinates displayed in the article's title as well. Infobox settlement uses {{Geobox coor}} to call {{Coord}} with the parameter "display=inline,title". coordinates_format optional If the parameter is omitted or blank, the coordinates format will match the format in which the coordinates are specified Set to dms to force degrees/minutes/seconds or dec to force decimal. coordinates_footnotes optional Reference(s) for coordinates, placed within <ref> </ref> tags, possibly using the citing format at {{Cite web}} Location, established, seat, subdivisions, government, leaders Parameter name Usage Description Location subdivision_type optional almost always Country subdivision_name optional Depends on the subdivision_type - use the name in text form, sample: United States or United States, flag icons or flag templates can be used in this field. subdivision_type1 to subdivision_type6 optional Can be State/Province, region, county. subdivision_name1 to subdivision_name6 optional Use the name in text form, sample: Florida or [[Florida]]. Flag icons or flag templates can be used in this field per WP:MOSFLAG. Established established_title optional Example: First settled established_date optional established_title1 optional Example: Incorporated (town) established_date1 optional established_title2 optional Example: Incorporated (city) established_date2 optional established_title3 optional established_date3 optional extinct_title optional For when a settlement ceases to exist extinct_date optional founder optional Who the settlement was founded by named_for optional The source of the name of the settlement (a person, a place, et cetera) Seat of government seat_type optional The label for the seat of government (defaults to Seat). seat optional The seat of government. Smaller parts (e.g. boroughs of a city) parts_type optional The label for the smaller subdivisions (defaults to Boroughs). parts_style optional Set to list to display as a collapsible list, coll as a collapsed list, or para to use paragraph style. Default is list for up to 5 items, otherwise coll. parts optional Text or header of the list of smaller subdivisions. p1 p2 to p50 optional The smaller subdivisions to be listed. Example: Warsaw Government type, leaders government_footnotes optional Reference(s) for government, placed within <ref> </ref> tags, possibly using the citing format at {{Cite web}} government_type optional Example: Mayor-council government governing_body optional Name of the place's governing body leader_party optional Political party of the place's leader leader_title optional First title of the place's leader, e.g. Mayor leader_name optional Name of the place's leader leader_title1 to leader_title4 optional leader_name1 to leader_name4 optional For long lists use {{Collapsible list}}. See Halifax for an example. 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. Parameter name Usage Description Display settings total_type optional Specifies what "total" area and population figure refer to, e.g. Greater London. This overrides other labels for total population/area. To make the total area and population display on the same line as the words "Area" and "Population", with no "Total" or similar label, set the value of this parameter to &nbsp;. 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 area_footnotes optional Reference(s) for area, placed within <ref> </ref> tags, possibly using the citing format at {{Cite web}} area_magnitude optional Setting this to any non-empty value will create a link to the appropriate order of magnitude of area page (e.g. 1 E+6 m²). dunam_link optional If dunams are used, the default is to link the word dunams in the total area section. This can be changed by setting dunam_link to another measure (e.g. dunam_link=water). Linking can also be turned off by setting the parameter to something else (e.g. dunam_link=none or dunam_link=off). area_total_km2 optional Total area in square kilometers—symbol: km2. Value must be entered in raw format, no commas or spaces. Auto-converted to display square miles if area_total_sq_mi is empty. area_total_ha optional Total area in hectares—symbol: ha. Value must be entered in raw format, no commas or spaces. Auto-converted to display acres if area_total_acre is empty. area_total_sq_mi optional Total area in square miles—symbol: sq mi. Value must be entered in raw format, no commas or spaces. Auto-converted to display square kilometers if area_total_km2 is empty. area_total_acre optional Total area in acres. Value must be entered in raw format, no commas or spaces. Auto-converted to display hectares if area_total_ha is empty. 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 or hectares and square miles or acreds if area_total_km2, area_total_ha, area_total_sq_mi, and area_total_acre are empty.
