[[Category:Infobox templates|Template:Remove first word]]
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.
Usage
[edit source]- 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.

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". |

Geographic information[edit source] | ||
| 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 . |
| 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.

Microformat
[edit source]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 Wikibooks, 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 and Wikibooks, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
[edit source]If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).
